Olympique Lyonnais strengthens its network with US Millery‑Vourles

In the verdant facilities of Vourles, the officials of US Millery‑Vourles welcome representatives of Olympique Lyonnais to sign a new agreement. The Rhone club thus confirms its partner status, while the previous day's Ligue 1 match saw Lens beat OL 2‑1 thanks to two decisive passes from 33‑year‑old Florian Thauvin.

Olympique Lyonnais announced the renewal of its agreement with US Millery‑Vourles, confirming an already well‑established relationship between the two organisations. This signing allows USMV to retain its partner club status and rewards the daily work of coaches, officials and volunteers.

Renewal of the partnership

The partnership had already been extended in 2023 for three seasons. The new agreement gives OL the possibility to organise official training camps on the facilities of US Millery‑Vourles in Vourles. The exact duration of this agreement was not disclosed.

Beyond the official recognition, the collaboration aims to open new prospects for the young members of USMV. The amateur club intends to benefit from the experience and know‑how of Olympique Lyonnais to enrich its training programme.

The stated goal of Olympique Lyonnais is to provide an increasingly structured development framework for the players of US Millery‑Vourles. This ambition relies on the geographical proximity that facilitates exchanges and maintains a close link with Lyon training.

Impacts for the youth

Thanks to this partnership, the club’s young players benefit from privileged access to the recognised training methods of Olympique Lyonnais. The continuity of the programme ensures that the development projects launched in recent years will not be interrupted.

For US Millery‑Vourles, the challenge is to continue the work undertaken without losing its own identity. The club wishes to grow gradually while offering its members an environment conducive to their sporting development.

This dynamic fits within OL’s desire to strengthen its network of regional partners, after the previous agreement with US Meyzieu. The Rhone club thus demonstrates its commitment to maintaining essential pathways for the detection of local talent.

By consolidating its regional foothold, Olympique Lyonnais guarantees US Millery‑Vourles continuous access to recognised expertise, while enhancing the visibility of the Lyon training project within the local football landscape.
