Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Stade de Gerland — William Gallas played for Lyon from 1997 to 2001 and left before the first title in 2002, so he was not part of any of the six consecutive championship-winning squads.

Les Verts et Blancs — The club was founded in 1950 through the merger of FC Lyon and AS Villeurbanne. This is incorrect; Olympique Lyonnais was founded in 1950, but the merger was between FC Lyon and AS Lyon-Villeurbanne (not AS Villeurbanne).

Les Verts et Blancs — The phrase 'seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles from 2002 to 2005' is contradictory; the seven consecutive titles ran from 2002 to 2008, not 2002 to 2005.

Les Minotaures — The nickname 'Les Minotaures' is not a widely recognized or established canon nickname for the Olympique Lyonnais men's first team during their golden era.

Les Minotaures — The claim that the nickname 'Les Minotaures' became synonymous with six consecutive Ligue 1 titles (2002–2008) is factually incorrect because the nickname itself is not part of the established historical record for that period.

Juninho Pernambucano — Juninho won 2 Coupe de la Ligue titles with Lyon (2001, 2006), not 3.

Jean-Michel Aulas — The seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles are listed as 2002–2008 in the STATS and DID YOU KNOW sections, but the LORE section says 2001 to 2008. The correct span is 2001–2002 to 2007–2008, so the years should be consistently stated as 2002–2008 (the seasons ending

Jean-Michel Aulas — The claim that the training center is located on the same site as the Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu is inaccurate. The Groupama Stadium is in Décines-Charpieu, but the main training center (Centre d'entraînement et de formation) is located at the Plaine

Lilian Thuram — Thuram is listed as winning the Coupe de la Ligue in 2001–02, but he was not at Lyon at that time; Lyon won that trophy in 2001, before his arrival.

Lilian Thuram — Thuram is said to have helped Lyon reach the Champions League quarter-finals in 2006, but Lyon reached the quarter-finals in 2005–06 (with Thuram joining in summer 2006, after that season). He did not play for Lyon in that campaign.

2015-16 UEFA Women's Champions League — The entry states 'Lyon became the first club ever to win three consecutive European titles in either men's or women's football.' This is false; multiple men's clubs (Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich) had previously won three consecutive European Cups.

2015-16 Division 1 Féminine — The manager for the 2015-16 season was Gérard Prêcheur, not Jean-Luc Vasseur.

2015-16 Division 1 Féminine — Patrice Lair left in 2013, not 2014, and Gérard Prêcheur managed the team from 2014 to 2017, not Jean-Luc Vasseur taking over in 2014.
