Soccer-Olympique Lyonnais Feminin Renamed to OL Lyonnes

Olympique Lyonnais Féminin renamed to OL Lyonnes in May 2025 with a new lioness crest debuting in 2025–26 season.
Owner Michele Kang spearheaded the change to create a distinct identity separate from the men's team called Olympique Lyonnais.
The team permanently moved all home games to 59,000-seat Groupama Stadium and announced a new women-only training center in Meyzieu, France.
Kang said the roaring lioness crest symbolizes competitive spirit and claimed the new facility will be "better than most men’s teams’ training centres."
OL Lyonnes remain dominant with 18 French titles and eight Champions League wins, while this rebranding marks an investment to advance women’s football.
