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. The club was formed as Lyon Olympique Universitaire in 1899, according to many supporters and sport historians, but was nationally established as a club in 1950. Their most successful period has been the 21st century - they won their first ever Ligue 1 championship in 2002, starting a national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. Lyon have also won seven Trophée des Champions, four Coupe de France titles, three Ligue 2 Championships. They have appeared in the UEFA Champions League seven times, but have not progressed further than the quarter-finals. Olympique Lyonnais play their home matches at the 41,044-seat Stade de Gerland, Lyon. Their home colours are white, red and blue. OL were a member of the G14 group of leading European football clubs and are founder members of its successor, the European Club Association. The chairman is Jean-Michel Aulas and the first team is managed by Claude Puel. The club also has a women's football team. (via Wikipedia)
