Lyon will be one of the few provincial cities to host the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In its near suburbs, the Groupama Stadium, home of Olympique Lyonnais, is requisitioned to host eleven matches in the men’s and women’s football tournaments.
The French women’s team will play two group matches there, against Colombia in the opening match on July 25, then against New Zealand on the 31st. Their men’s counterparts could play there in the event of the semi-finals. OL’s home ground will also host the women’s bronze medal match.
