What people sing

Olympique Lyonnais / Les Gones
Club songs that still surface on European nights. The women's team's success is part of how supporters talk about the badge.

Who the rivals are

Saint-Étienne
The Rhône derby. Local, historic, and still the fixture Lyon supporters mark first when both clubs are healthy.
Paris Saint-Germain
A rivalry of eras: Lyon’s domestic dynasty against the Qatari project that replaced it at the top.
