OL GROUPE: FIRST-HALF 2020/21 REVENUE AND RESULTS MEN'S TEAM: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL AND LIGUE 1 2020/21 LEADER WOMEN'S TEAM: QUADRUPLE IN 2019/20, 7 TH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE RESULTING DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY FROM THE PANDEMIC TOTAL REVENUE EBITDA: Lyon, 16 February 2021 On 16 February 2021, the Board of Directors of OL Groupe examined the financial statements for the first half of the 2020/21 financial year[2]. Revenue and earnings in H1 2020/21 (1 July to 31 December 2020), were hit hard by the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on the professional sports and events sector. Public health restrictions halted activities at Groupama Stadium (ticketing and events). The Group was further penalised by the consequences of the LFP's unfortunate decision to halt the 2019/20 top flight French championship. Had the season continued to its conclusion, as it did in all other major European countries, OL could have aimed for a European qualification. It also suffered from the failure of principal Ligue 1 broadcaster Mediapro to meet its payment obligations.
