Lyon orders three years with McDonald’s

Global fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s has agreed to become an official supplier to French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais.

The partnership is for three years, covering the 2015-16 to 2017-18 football seasons, with McDonald’s restaurants in the Lyon region to play a participatory role.

McDonald’s will benefit from visibility at the Stade de Gerland during Lyon matches, while it will also support the club’s women’s and youth teams.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Lyon finished as runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 last season and will compete in the Uefa Champions League this term.
