As part of a promotional initiative orchestrated by sponsor Kleber, about 100 dogs are expected to attend the meeting between Olympique Lyonnais féminine and Paris FC. This unexpected situation sparked an amusing reaction from Joe Montemurros, the women’s OL coach, at the pre-game press conference. He joked about the possibility of integrating these four-legged companions in the field in case of substitutions, highlighting the original aspect of the event.

Despite a lack of marketing expertise, the coach expressed his agreement with this promotional operation, recognizing its potential to attract a wider audience and increase the reputation of his team. He felt that if this initiative proved effective in mobilizing supporters, there was no reason to question it.

Finally, Joe Montemurros expressed his optimism about the atmosphere that will prevail during the game, anticipating warm support from the canines present. He pointed out that it was rare to see dogs barking at a coach, and that they would be there to encourage the team, which he felt would make the experience particularly enjoyable.
