In 2024, OL played 21 matches at Décines. With more than 997,000 spectators attending Parc OL, there was popular success despite the sporting results and certain restrictions.
Without the partial closed session against theOlympiakos or the desire of the club to limit incidents against Besiktasthe million mark would have been reached without too much difficulty in 2024. However, the counter at Parc OL will remain stuck below one million for this new calendar year. This Saturday, January 4, the Lyon players will kick off the year 2025 at home and hope to be able to attract a crowd against Montpellier despite the late schedule (9 p.m.).
It would be a good way to get back to work and launch the expected second part of the season between Rhône and Saône perfectly. Last year also showed that popular support was not too much to redress a situation which was in a bad, very bad way with the specter of relegation. But the approximately 997,000 supporters who took their seats at Décines helped Pierre's players Sage to defy the statistics then to offer themselves a European destiny over the last six months.
The derby, best attendance of 2024
With an average of 47,486 spectators over the 21 matches played between Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and the Europa League, the Parc OL did not ring hollow, but was far from having been completely full. Unsurprisingly, the arrival ofAS Saint-Etienne was the most followed in Décines. After two seasons of absence, the derby attracted 58,082 supporters to the Grand Stade, relegating last season's final match against Strasbourg (57,027) in second place, followed by the Coupe de France semi-final against Valenciennes (56,719). Five days before the arrival of Montpellierthe attendance is currently at the level of last season's average.
