OL’s reserve had an encouraging 2024-2025 season, ranking among the best in National 3 and reaching the final of the Premier League International Cup. The coach favoured an experienced team, which contributed to good results. However, as every year, the team’s composition is expected to undergo a major overhaul with the departure of many key players, including those from the 2005 generation such as LilianCoponat, RomainPerretet and MathysDe Carvalho, who are looking for new challenges. The arrival of YacineChaib in the professional group suggests a transition to the young talents of the 2006 generation, embodied by players like DaryllBenlahlou and ErawanGarnier.

The end of the season 2023-2024 was marked by contrasting emotions for the club and its supporters. The qualification for the Europa Conference League, obtained in the final moments of the Lens match, aroused joy, but the departures of Alexandre Lacazette and RayanCherki caused some sadness. However, today’s uncertainty is high on the future of the club, as the decision of the DNACG Appeal Board regarding Ligue 1 retention or Ligue 2 relegation is expected with anxiety. Despite this uncertain context, the team has to resume training in Décines, with a preparation program for the travel match in Lens in July.

OL’s late recovery, scheduled for July 7, placed him among the last Ligue 1 clubs to resume training, alongside Le Havre, Marseille, Metz and Strasbourg. This contrasts with the earlier resumption of other training courses such as Nice and Lens. The future of the club remains uncertain, pending the decision of the DNACG, but the team is preparing to face the new season with new hopes and young talents. The transition to the 2006 generation seems to be the key to ensuring the club’s long-term sustainability.
