Is there a source for the official name as it appears in the infobox? When I lived in Lyon (not long) and attended matches, I heard references to Olympique Lyonnais, Olympique Lyon, Lyon, L'OL, but have never seen or heard Olympique de Lyon et du Rhône. Parthepan 04:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Hi, I live in Lyon for 30 years, the correct name is in the french wiki: "Olympique lyonnais", nickname "OL" Dingy 16:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kit colours?

I'm wondering about OL's kit colours: this page lists a mostly white kit as the home colours and gold/blue as away kit colours, while I am currently watching an Champions League match between OL and FC Barcelona, where the home team has a kit with mostly black colour. So, is this a third/CL-specific kit or what? Hookoo (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

That's right, a third/CL-specific kit.--Latouffedisco (talk) 18:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hatem Ben Arfa

Just wondering, since Ben Arfa is playing for the french national team, shouldn't the flag next to his squad file be french as well? He's only tunisian via his parents, not by his own nationality...
