OL Lyonnes present mascot Lyonna as surprise addition for Paris FC visit | OneFootball

Jonatan Giráldez’s players will be backed by a new superfan, Lyonna, after OL Lyonnes introduced a club mascot. The club announced on Friday that she will make her bow this weekend.

The transfer window was not quite shut at OL Lyonnes, who added four players earlier in the summer. A new lioness has now arrived in the shape of Lyonna, recruited to lift the mood around matches.

Her first assignment comes at Groupama Stadium on Saturday in the matchday two meeting with Paris FC, a rerun of the Arkema Première Ligue final that ended 5-0.

Tasked with working the touchline, she is expected to help keep the atmosphere lively around the pitch.

With a long red and blue braid and a golden crown, she should be hard to miss, and fans are likely to jostle politely for photos.
