Aurore Bergé, Minister responsible for Equality between Women and Men and the Fight against Discrimination, is visiting Lyon. She is coming to visit the OL players this Thursday.

After a great victory against the PSG (2-0) last weekend, theOL must get back to work. Indeed, Wendie Renard and her teammates face, Friday January 31 (9 p.m.), Montpellier (6th) as part of the 14th day of the Premier League. The Rhodanians therefore have a little time to prepare for this future deadline.

In order to get out of a certain routine that could set in, the Lyon players can count on an unusual visit. They will have the honor of receiving a minister in Décines. Indeed, Aurore Bankin charge of Equality between women and men and the Fight against discrimination, will be visiting the training center in the afternoon of January 23.

A visit in support of women's sport

A detour to the Parc OL side which aims to “recall the importance of visibility and support for women’s sport”specifies the ministry in an official press release. This ministerial visit is linked to International Women's Sports Day, which takes place every January 24. Aurore Bergé will have previously met two structures helping women's entrepreneurship, Les Premières and the Femmes Battantes network.

She will then head to the Town Hall of the 6th arrondissement to attend the presentation of the Legion of Honor officer insignia. The reward is addressed to Michèle Vianèspresident of the Regards de femmes association. The Minister will then go to Vénissieux, to the premises of the Serfim company, before moving on to Décines to conclude her Rhone journey.
