Olympique Lyonnais

Olympique Lyonnais (popularly known as OL, or simply as Lyon) is a French football club based in Lyon. They play in France's highest football division, Ligue 1. Between the years 2002–2008, Lyon won the Ligue 1 title seven consecutive years, a record that no other club in France has matched. The streak came to an end during the 2008–09 season, in which they finished in 3rd place. Lyon have also won seven Trophée des Champions, four Coupe de France titles, three Ligue 2 Championships, as well as seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League, despite not taking part in a final, or a semi-final. Olympique Lyonnais play their home matches at the 41,044-seat Stade de Gerland, Lyon. OL were also a member of the G14 group of leading European football clubs. In 2008, they were one of the founding members of the newly created European Club Association.
Lyon was formed as Lyon Olympique Universitaire in 1899, according to many supporters and sport historians, but was nationally established as a club on 3 August 1950. The club also has a women's football team.
