Jean-Michel Aula, former President of Olympique Lyonnais, expressed his willingness to assist the new management of the club in the crucial steps related to the DNACG appeal commission. He pointed out that he would act within his personal knowledge rather than his official responsibilities, stressing the importance of impartiality as Vice-President of the Federation. Aula revealed that she had already met OL members and had a new appointment with President Michele Kang next week, in order to become familiar with the issues and contribute to the improvement of the club’s current situation. He stressed the determination of Michele Kang and his team, including ARES, an important financial partner, to find a solution for OL’s future.

At the same time, the Professional Football League (FLL) amended the disciplinary rules for the 2025-2026 season. Now, a player will automatically be suspended after having accumulated five yellow cards, regardless of the 10-game period. This new rule, applicable in Ligue 1, Ligue 2, at the Champions Trophy and in the Coupe de France, aims to strengthen the discipline and deter players from being too reckless. Olympique Lyonnais, known for his discipline in the previous season, was spared this rule, although some players like Duje Caleta-Car have accumulated a significant number of yellow cards. Others, such as Nicolas Tagliafico, have been suspended following the accumulation of these cartons.

The Parc OL, the stadium of Décines, continues to host sporting and musical events outside the football season. In the 2024-2025 season, he hosted the top 14 semifinals, attracting a record number of spectators. For the summer of 2025, only Imagine Dragons was announced, attracting 50,000 spectators for an electric concert. Despite a summer program less rich than in previous years, the event allowed to maintain the activity of the stadium and satisfy music lovers, confirming the multi-purpose role of the OL Park as a gathering place for various events.
