The Aulas-Parker merger is in full swing in Lyon. The President of OL has just announced this Wednesday a new stage in this collaboration with his counterpart from Asvel: "We will make sure to make room for him in the coming months on the Board of administration of OL Groupe, it was a decision that was taken yesterday at the CA ”.

JMA then justified this choice during a press breakfast in Paris: “First, there is a partnership with Tony Parker on the basketball side. There is also a convergence of visions on what high-level clubs should be in terms of organization, preparation, capital investment ”.

“TP” also plays a role in the OL Reign project in Seattle

"Tony has also integrated, alongside us, the capital of OL Reign in Seattle [women's football franchise]," continues the emblematic Lyon manager. And then, in our partnership, there is a whole part of international development in China and in the United States which will be done by Tony Parker. More than an ambassador of the OL brand, he becomes a true partner. "

Removed from the prosecution service since last summer, “TP” integrated OL Groupe, the listed holding company controlling OL, in the capital of Asvel in December, at 31.67%. The cooperation between the two entities should continue with the construction of an arena in Décines, just next to the Parc OL, which would welcome basketball players from 2023.
