This page contains everything you need to know about OL Lyonnes' 2025-26 European campaign. It will be updated after each matchweek, with the latest news and highlights.
New name, new logo, new permanent home ... It's fair to say it's been a summer of change for the rebranded OL Lyonnes (formerly Olympique Lyonnais).
There has been a change of personnel as well, with two-time Women's Champions League winner Jonatan Giráldez taking over as manager.
Eight new players have arrived, including players of the pedigree of Jule Brand, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Korbin Shrader, Lily Yohannes, Ingrid Engen and Ashley Lawrence. Meanwhile, Daniëlle van de Donk, Eugénie Le Sommer, Dzsenifer Marozsán, Ellie Carpenter and Amel Majri have all left the club.
Lyonnes appear on the precipice of a new era. Can the record eight-time winners, whose new motto is "New Story, Same Legend," script more success this year?
