Tuesday, June 24, 2025 will be a decisive date for the future of Olympique Lyonnais. For the moment administratively demoted Ligue 2 subject to its passage before the DNCG, the Rhodanian club will have to demonstrate to the gendarme of French football that it will be able to meet the financial requirements of the latter.
An important moment for the Rhone club, because even if this decision is revoked, a recruitment ban and/or supervision of the payroll can also intervene. Far from this stretched situation at the moment, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais, John Textor, benefits the United States with his other Botafogo club which competes for the Club World Cup.
John Textor's confident message
And before challenging and beat Paris Saint-Germain for 1-0 on behalf of the second day of the group stage of this competition, John Textor spoke publicly at the microphone of DAZN. The American leader wanted to be reassuring about the future of Olympique Lyonnais: “Yes I am confident for OL. At the financial level, we have made interesting investments in recent weeks. We are very comfortable at this level now. The message to Lyon supporters? Trust us, have confidence in our project.»
«With Botafogo, we had the best season of the club in 120 years and the same with Crystal Palace. I know that the way of working is different in France but we try to have the same type of success with Lyon. We aspire to beat teams such as PSG. It will be played on the football field and I would have the same attitude when I return to Lyon“, He continued. Lyon supporters will surely await the DNCG decision before regaining their optimism.
