No supporters' cries recorded and broadcast during the meeting.

The Olympique Lyonnais prefers a visual setting rather than a soundtrack.

Sunday evening (9 p.m.) during the closed-door derby against Saint-Etienne, a tarpaulin in the colors of the “Kop Virage Nord” will be placed behind the goal on the north side of Groupama Stadium.

In the side stand facing the cameras, another tarpaulin, from the club, will send messages to Lyon supporters, we learn from the club.

“We talked to our groups of supporters on this issue and we all agreed on the idea that we should not put an artificial sound environment.

We have the chance to play, while amateur football is at a standstill, this match is for our supporters and all those who cannot practice their passion, ”said a spokesperson.

Compensate for the atmosphere behind closed doors

The south turn had already been manifested by a message to the players on the occasion of the reception of Monaco (4-1), on October 25.

Some clubs, on the other hand, have adopted a system of soundtrack of supporters broadcast by the speakers of the stadium to compensate for the atmosphere behind closed doors, as in the Champions League in Marseille, or in Lille for example.
