Talk:Olympique Lyonnais

Untitled
Is there a source for the official name as it appears in the infobox? When I lived in Lyon (not long) and attended matches, I heard references to Olympique Lyonnais, Olympique Lyon, Lyon, L'OL, but have never seen or heard Olympique de Lyon et du Rhône. Parthepan 04:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi, I live in Lyon for 30 years, the correct name is in the french wiki: "Olympique lyonnais", nickname "OL" Dingy 16:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Please pursue and then provide information about a Lyon FC announcement to go public on the stockmarket..

Kit colours?
I'm wondering about OL's kit colours: this page lists a mostly white kit as the home colours and gold/blue as away kit colours, while I am currently watching an Champions League match between OL and FC Barcelona, where the home team has a kit with mostly black colour. So, is this a third/CL-specific kit or what? Hookoo (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's right, a third/CL-specific kit.--Latouffedisco (talk) 18:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hatem Ben Arfa
Just wondering, since Ben Arfa is playing for the french national team, shouldn't the flag next to his squad file be french as well? He's only tunisian via his parents, not by his own nationality...

2 European Cups?!
"They have won the Ligue 1 title seven years straight and also 2 European Cups in the late 80s and early 90s, a record that no other club in France has matched."

While the league titles are obvious, where have these European Cup victories in the 80's and 90's? They don't appear to exist anywhere in history.

All these questions can be answered here: Scoreshelf.com It's a statistics site that has collated this sort of thing pretty extensively. That link goes to Lyon's record in all European tourneys, and you can set it to show French tourneys too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by France 98 forever (talk • contribs) 04:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Non-retired numbers
The text of the article suggests that the squad numbers 16 and 17 are both retired when clearly they are both currently in use. Does anyone have the details of when they returned to use and should they now be called "temporarily retired" rather than "retired"? d a n n o 15:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Did some good faith editing. I don't know about the section heading though. —  JS   Rant Away 18:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
