Olympique Lyonnais came close to beating yesterday in the derby against ASSE, its historic attendance record, recorded for the visit of PSG in September 2022, at 58,230 spectators present at Groupama Stadium. For the return of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes derby, there were 58,082 supporters present in the bays of the Lyon enclosure.
OL almost broke an attendance record with the visit of ASSE
This is more, remember, than the commercial capacity of the stadium communicated at 57,206 seats by the Professional Football League (LFP). But OL, whom we contacted on this subject, corrected it to 59,186 places. The result is clear anyway: the Groupama Stadium was as full as an egg.
OM and RC Lens also raise the average for the day
The Orange Vélodrome at Olympique de Marseille was almost as popular for the visit of AJ Auxerre on Friday evening. Thanks to these two matches and that of RC Lens which plays all its own to a sold-out crowd, the cumulative total of attendances for this 11th day of Ligue 1 is 281,911 spectators according to estimates from The Teamfor an average per match of 31,323, higher than that of the entire season.
