Lyon General Manager Laurent Pondum announced that the Europa League match against Manchester United will break an attendance record at Grupama Stadium. The official’s words were cited by the source as a reference to the radio scoop.
Praudom stated that more than 58,000 spectators will attend the match. The last attendance record for the Arena, which opened in January 2016, was set in February 2019—the Champions League match against Barcelona saw 57,889 spectators.
However, the absolute attendance record for Grupama Stadium dates back to June 25, 2022, and does not belong to a sporting event. The concert by the music group “Indochine” attracted 72,561 people.
