 Lyon Olympique Lyonnais, the first European league record to win seven consecutive league titles

France's prestigious football club, the first European league to win seven consecutive league titles.

He was also a member of the European Football Association's G-14 club and a founding member of the European Club Association.

The club's origins date back to the 1896 rugby club "Lashing Clube de Lyon", which was created by the merger of the Lashing Clube de Baez and the Rugby Club de Lyon. Lashing Clube founded the soccer team in 1910. However, in 1950, then-manager Felice Luo led his supporters out of the Lashing Club, and the club they founded was the current Olympique Lyon.

After winning three Coupe de France in the 1960s and advancing to the 1964 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals, he acquired the current owner Jean-Michel Ola in 1987 and strengthened his team with long-term investment, systematic player development and scouting. After six years in the second division in the 88–89 season, he was promoted to the first division again, and even after resuming his first division career, he did not stand out until the early 1990s. However, after finishing sixth in the league in the 97–98 season and third in the 98–99 season, it has been the longest-serving team in the French league, consistently reaching the top three for most of its 20 years.

In addition, he won the League 1 title for seven consecutive seasons from 2002 to 2008, setting a new record for the most wins in Europe's five major leagues and making his name as the leader of French football. In addition to these consecutive league wins, Olympique Lyon has been steadily advancing to the Champions League finals since 2001, when he first made it to the Champions League, and in the 2001/02 season, he was humiliated by Turkish underdog Denizlispor to be eliminated in the round of 32. However, since then, he has been the only French team to steadily advance to the Champions League round of 16 or higher, setting up the pride of French League 1.

He was also famous as a natural enemy of Real Madrid by this time, recording three wins and three draws against Real Madrid C.F. In the 2009–10 Champions League, he reached the semifinals and achieved the best Champions League record ever. In the semifinals, he was eliminated in a 1–0, 3–0 loss to Bayern Munich.(Munich in the final lost 2-0 to Mourinho-led Inter and finished second)

The following season, he met with Galactico's second-term Real Madrid, led by Mourinho, in the 2010/11 season, with one draw and one loss, breaking Real Madrid's unbeaten record. However, there was nothing much to say about losing once, and he was again in the same group as Real Madrid in the 2011/12 Champions draw. Lyon chairman and coach were happy to hug each other, but as they lost both games, their absolute dominance over Real Madrid has now disappeared with three wins, four draws and three losses. He managed to reach the round of 16 in the Champions League and luckily met Cyprus's Apoel FC, who reached the round of 16 for the first time in the Champions League, and won the first round by a score of 1:0, hoping to advance to the quarterfinals. However, they lost 0-1 in the second round of the away match against Apoel and had the same goal difference, but eventually lost 3:4 to a penalty shootout, making them the first quarterfinal sacrifice in Apoel's history and stopping in the round of 16 for two consecutive seasons. Funny, however, the opponent Apoel met in the quarterfinals was Real Madrid. In the end, he was eliminated with two losses (0-3, 2-5).

In the 2010s, other French teams were also showing good performance in the Champions League, so the word "Lion alone will build the pride of Ligue 1" gradually disappeared, but they succeeded in advancing to the round of 16 by playing a scene stealer in the Champions League in the 2018/19 season.

In the 2019/20 Champions League, they defeated Juventus in the round of 16 and Manchester City in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals in 10 years.

Lyon's biggest advantage is that it has the best youth system. Just by looking at the data showing that Lyon youth are playing all over Europe along with FC Barcelona's La Masia, you can see how excellent the system is.

In particular, he is famous for producing great strikers. There are many cases in which leading strikers such as Ludovic Jiuli, Karim Benzema, Roic Remi, and Alexandre Lacazette have mastered the basics since youth and made their names known to all Europe beyond France.

In the case of midfielders, outstanding midfielders such as Clemang Grenier, Hussem Auer, Nabil Fekir, Maxim Gonalong, and Corantin Toliso have grown in Lyon's youth system. Defenders such as Samuel Umtiti and Ferran Mendy are also worth their names.

Since it is a team with the highest level of fostering system and scouting ability among League Ang clubs, even if the main players continue to play to other teams, enormous prospects pour out. As of 2014, this is the case with Alexandre Lacazette, Clement Grenier, Keida Popana, and Samuel Umtiti.

Among the team's famous players, Sydney Gobu, Juninho Pernambukanu, and Gregory Coupe, who led Lyon to their seventh straight league title, are legendary, while Sylvain Wiltor, Hugo Lloris, Michael Essien, Florang Maluda, Eric Abidal, and Chris are among others. And now Real Madrid's No. 9 Karim Benzema was also a Lyon player. Major players in the 2014–15 season include Jo 구o Gurquipe, Alexandre Lacazette, Clemán Grenier and Maxim Gonalong.

From 2012 to 2020, Hyundai Motor signed as Lyon's main sponsor. Due to this relationship, he had a friendly match with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors with youth player training and home and away games. From the 2020-21 season, Emirates was selected as the new main sponsor, ending its relationship with Hyundai.
