The women’s Euro ended with bitter disappointment for Olympique Lyonnais. After a promising participation, the team of players saw its ambitions stop in the semifinal, eliminated by Spain. This disappointment is particularly felt by the French players, dominated by Julje Brand, the Spanish striker who joined the team. Despite a heroic performance at the goal, where they were reduced to ten players for over 100 minutes, the team succumbed to the power of Spain. This elimination marks the release of several important players, adding to the general sadness.

The summer of Olympique Lyonnais is marked by a period of turmoil, between financial stakes, the preservation of the football team and organisational changes. The team reserves, RWDM Brussel, is about to face Olympique Lyonnais in a friendly match, a third test for the team that is going through a transition period with a new staff and without a final coach. This reflects the internal difficulties of the club, which also faces legal problems.

The future of Olympique Lyonnais is also being built with significant changes in staff. The professional staff was remodeled under JonatanGirald, while RachelSaïdi succeeded LaurieDacquignya at the head of the training. Youth teams, including the U19, are preparing for a demanding championship, with the goal of qualifying for the elite phase. After having missed the quadruple of the competitions in recent years, OL Lyonnais hopes to return to the top next season, with the start of the competitions scheduled for 7 September.
