Case Study: Olympique Lyonnais enhances fan services and stadium engagement with Microsoft Azure

The connected services of the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, a Major League soccer club in France and Europe, rely on Azure and Open Source

Microsoft worked with Olympique Lyonnais, a major French soccer club, to develop a hyper-connected stadium experience. The challenge was to internally manage and develop a variety of digital platforms, including a multi-service application for fans and an e-shopping site, which needed to handle significant peaks in user traffic on match days.

The solution implemented by Microsoft leveraged the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to host the stadium's application and websites. By combining Azure's scalability with open-source technologies like Wordpress and Prestashop, the solution provided a robust and flexible infrastructure. This allowed Olympique Lyonnais to successfully manage an average of 28,000 connections per game, enriching the fan experience with innovative services while simplifying internal administration.
