decent stadium, was a bit empty though, decent noise from Lyon. However Lyon made the palace fans wait for 2 hours for coaches back as well as make them queue for buses in the middle of nowhere to be able to access the stadium. In leaving the fans were treated like a joke, and staff couldn’t communicate why it was taking so long/ wether we could just leave to get a taxi outside

The stadium is really well built, access from Lyon center was easy and we'll organized by tram. The access to the concert was easy, plenty of food and drinks options outside and inside the stadium. Sound quality was not the best but for a stadium it was definitely on my top experiences. Toilets were clean, and overall stadium had enough bins so it was quite clean. Maybe one thing I would say is that drinks are a bit expensive

Great stadium with excellent facilities, it's a bit far out from Lyon centre, but worth the trip. The fans are incredible and the atmosphere is amazing. Lyonnais est fantastique

To be honest I am not a football fun, but I enjoyed the match OL- Stade Rennais so much. I really can’t forget that atmosphere that makes me so excited.

I had a great time in the soccer game PSG X Lyon. It was my first time in a Stadium in France and I loved it. Before the game there were activities where you could win this player card, chocolate and the OL sticker.

Stadium tour in English. It was really cozy, friendly tour - less commerical than the UK stadium tours. Massive credit to our guide Thibaut, whose English was exceptional and his know of OL, the team, the stadium, the history was first class. Also the guy in the museum was so friendly and knowledgeable. A really great few hours.

Just like most sporting stadiums, easy to navigate, stewards helpful and friendly - the only people that seem to struggle are the ones who can't read the ticket they bought. It tells you the letter area, block code, row number and seat number. Use this and you'll be good. My only insight is that the row numbers are on like the step level of the actual seat, rather than printed on the step itself, we found it easy but its amazing just how many didn't seem to look, but I suppose it's a bit different looking for empty seats among crowds and trying to upset as few a people as possible

We visited the stadium twice for Olympic group matches. It was really easy to navigate the stadium and find our seats. The seats are comfortable enough and I was surprised by how much legroom there was. The stadium experience would be enhanced with more attention to the women’s bathrooms. But I also recognize there are a lot of people using the facilities, and it may be hard to keep them stocked with tissue and soap. Public transportation was available and made the trip to the stadium comfortable and stress-free.

Was at this stadium for the Olympics and it was also my first time watching football. I think the journey to get here was really enjoyable - the tram service was organised I think specifically for the Olympics. It was EUR5.00 to book a tram ticket that was set up specifically for the event. I really liked this stadium compared to Stade de France. It seemed more updated and had lots of art to look at. There was also more shade while we were waiting to be let into the stadium. I was quite surprised that the toilets didn't have a toilet seat. Wasn't expecting this is in such a nice stadium. I also really like that the tram dropped us right outside the stadium so a better experience overall in terms of getting to and from this venue. Be very mindful of sitting in the sun though. I'm pretty sure I got heat stroke because I made the mistake of not moving to the shade. I bought chips from here which I think cost about EUR6.00.

This is a fantastic venue that seamlessly blends the excitement of football games with the electric atmosphere of concerts. As the home of Olympique Lyonnais, the stadium offers an unforgettable experience for football fans, with passionate crowds creating an intense vibe during matches. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring that fans enjoy every moment. Beyond football, the stadium hosts a variety of concerts, attracting big-name artists and delivering spectacular shows. The acoustics are impressive, making it an ideal spot for live music. Whether you’re cheering for your team or dancing to your favorite band, the energy here is contagious. Overall, Groupama Stadium is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant culture of Lyon through sports and music. Good to consider transportation options when visiting because it’s located away from the city center but note that there is a train line that’s very close to the stadium.

About the stadium

The Groupama Stadium has been home to Olympique Lyonnais since 2016. Located in Décines-Charpieu in the Lyon metropolitan area, it was designed by the architecture firm Populous and can hold 59,186 spectators, making it France's third-largest stadium. Built as a multi-purpose venue, it hosts Lyon's matches as well as international competitions and concerts.

The stadium is part of the OL Vallée complex, a business and leisure park that draws close to 2 million visitors a year. The facility includes 105 boxes and several VIP lounges, along with various spaces for corporate events and premium matchday experiences. 

Since opening, the Groupama Stadium has staged several major events: matches at Euro 2016, the 2018 Europa League final, the 2019 Women's World Cup final and games from the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

On non-matchdays, visitors can go behind the scenes on guided tours. These are run in French, with some sessions available in English. The "Stadium Tours" are usually held on Wednesdays, at weekends and during school holidays.

Among other areas, visitors get access to the VIP lounges, the press room, the mixed zone, the dressing rooms, the players' tunnel and the edge of the pitch. Tours last between 45 minutes and 1 hour 45, depending on the option chosen. Prices generally range from around €20 for the shortest options to nearly €40 for the VIP tours.

The visit can be rounded off with OL Le Musée, a 1,300 m² museum spread over two floors. The displays cover more than 70 years of Olympique Lyonnais history through trophies, shirts, archive material and interactive features devoted to the great moments of the Rhône club.
