The investigatory chamber of the CFCB (Club Financial Control Body) found "Olympique Lyonnais (FRA) (following the submission of additional financial information) to have satisfied the break-even requirement (and thus) are no longer subject to any enquiry. Their case is therefore closed," stated UEFA on 24/04/2015.

The CFCB requested, on 05/12/2014, that Olympique Lyonnais provide additional information about the situation of the financial stability of the club. Five other European clubs were subject to that same obligation: AC Sparta Prague (CZE), Hull City AFC (ENG), Panathinaikos FC (GRE) Ruch Chorzow (POL) and VfL Wolfsburg (GER). UEFA have not yet conveyed a decision on any of these five clubs as of 24/04/2015.

  • Olympique Lyonnais played in the Europa League in 2014-15: the club was eliminated (1-2, 1-0, losing on away goals) in the knock-out round by Astra Giurgiu (ROM).
