Young Lyon talent: crucial weekend for the academy

Olympique Lyonnais sees its women’s teams and young categories regain the road this weekend, each with specific stakes. The professional group, led by Joe Montemurro, faces Paris FC at home, while the U19, under the direction of Vincent Mendes, prepare for an intense encounter. The women’s D3 team, after two matches without victory and a recent defeat in Albi, aims to recover during his trip to Chassieu, an opportunity to narrow the gap with the leader, Grenoble, who will go to Montauban. The U19 women, despite a consistent gap with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the standings, focus on reducing the gap with the MHSC, their next opponent, in a race to a favorable position for the final stages.

Gueïda Fofana’s reserve moved to Chamalières in a potentially delicate match, while Pro 2, with two recent victories, sought to consolidate its dynamics in Auxerre, after a friendly match against Manchester United. The U17s, after a successful victory in Grenoble, aim to secure their place in the championship play-offs and to widen the gap with Cavigal, a direct competitor. Finally, the U19, although positioned in the middle of the standings, aspire to continue their series of home victories against FC Metz, an opportunity to maintain a positive and encouraging dynamic.

The Lyon Academy’s team program for this weekend is charged with a variety of issues, ranging from reviving women’s D3 to consolidating the U17 position for play-offs. Each team has specific objectives and a strategy adapted to its respective meetings, reflecting the constant commitment of Olympique Lyonnais to the development of its young talents and the continuation of performance in all its categories. The focus is on the ability of each group to respond to challenges and demonstrate the quality of work done within the Academy.
