Olympique Lyon Overview

About Olympique Lyon

Eagle Football Group is a French listed holding company based in Lyon that owns and manages the Olympique Lyonnais men's football club and its stadium, the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, now called Groupama Stadium. It was created on 1 February 1999 as OL Groupe by club owner Jean-Michel Aulas with Pathé as a 34% investor, and in February 2007 became the first French football club to list on the Paris stock exchange, raising €89 million toward the stadium, which opened in January 2016 at a cost of €405 million. In June 2022 John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings agreed to buy the stakes of Aulas's Holnest, Pathé and IDG Capital, and the company adopted the Eagle Football Group name in March 2024; it is now being renamed back to OL Groupe. Revenue comes from ticketing, domestic and European media rights, partnerships and advertising, brand and merchandising income, events and player trading. For the year to 30 June 2025 total revenue was €273.8 million, including €111.6 million from player sales, down from €361.3 million a year earlier. On 30 June 2025 Michele Kang, a director since 2023, became chairwoman and chief executive after Textor resigned, and €87 million of shareholder funding plus €30 million of bank guarantees kept the club in Ligue 1 on appeal.

Olympique Lyon Funding Rounds

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
Aug-16Strategic investmentIDG Capital$111M-OL Groupe, the listed holding company of French club Olympique Lyonnais, announced in August 2016 that the Chinese investment fund IDG Capital would take a 20% stake for EUR 100 million. The investment was structured as a reserved issue of new shares and convertible bonds, bringing fresh capital to the group rather than buying out existing shareholders, and it was finalised in February 2017. OL Groupe and IDG also formed a joint company, Beijing OL FC, in which OL Groupe held 45%, to develop partnerships with local companies, create football academies and grow the club's brand in China. The deal came months after Lyon opened its new stadium, the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, in January 2016, which OL Groupe had built at a cost of about EUR 405 million. At the time the group was controlled by chairman Jean-Michel Aulas's holding company Holnest and the cinema group Pathé. IDG remained a shareholder until December 2022, when it sold its shares, together with Pathé and Holnest, to John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings. OL Groupe, founded in 1999 to hold the football club, was listed on Euronext Paris and was later renamed Eagle Football Group.
