Saint-Cyr Collonges had a magnificent evening on Sunday challenging OL at Groupama Stadium. The dream continued in the following days with the receipt of a very large check from Lyon.
OL offers 100,000 euros to Saint-Cyr
Organizing the French Cup match cost Olympique Lyonnais dearly and the bill increased with programming on Sunday evening. Despite its debt concerns, OL kept the match in its stadium and offered a share of the money collected from ticket sales to its opponent. Lyon was even more generous than expected according to RMC Sport. Indeed, the 5th in Ligue 1 should have given a third of the profits. He ultimately paid a third of the revenue to FC Saint-Cyr Collonges. A good surprise for the amateur club which received 100,000 euros in total from OL.
« It’s a great Christmas gift. In fact, there were two Christmas gifts: The first was being able to play at Groupama Stadium in front of 25,000 people, which is exceptional for us and we didn’t expect it. But the second is a very, very nice Christmas present too, because the 100,000 euros will give us a big boost and be able to help us finish our year and the years that are to come, while investing in young people », Confided the president of Saint-Cyr to RMC Sport. With this gesture, Michele Kang consolidates his popularity in the Rhône after a successful first 6 months at the head of OL.
