15th Charity Tournament at the Lyon Olympic Park!

For the 15th edition of the "But en Or" charity tournament, the 48 participating teams were welcomed for the first time at the Lyon Olympic Park! An exceptional setting, an exceptional day: a look back at the charity tournament for company teams in the Lyon region.

Organised each year to support the development of Sport dans la Ville, the "Lyon's "Golden Goal took place at the Groupama OL Training Center, on the training grounds of Olympique Lyonnais. It was a day of good humour, sunshine and football!

7h30 : Early arrival of the players under a determined sun. Coffee, fruit and sun cream are on the program, before a muscular warm-up by the @Coaching at work team. Special mention to Elsa for her communicative energy!

9h00The players from the 48 participating companies are treading the Groupama OL Training Center's lawns for the first time since the creation of the charity tournament. The group matches have been launched: 5 matches of 10 minutes each to prove their technical soccer skills and qualify for the 16th final.

12h30 : A well-deserved lunch break at the Club des Cents, in the heart of the Lyon Olympic Park. An exceptional place to admire the stadium and the view of the fields.

14h00 The matches resumed under a blazing sun: lots of energy, lots of water and a lot of suspense because the qualifiers are at stake! The games are taking place in front of the fans, who have come to cheer on their teams. Volunteers are out on the pitch spraying the players and handing out bottles of water. The afternoon is intense! The final saw two teams used to the competition, Biomérieux and McDonald's, who often compete for the 1st step of the podium. The regulation time passed, the penalty shoot-out definitively crowns Biomérieux, great champion of this 15th edition.
