Following today’s announcement of Kynisca founder Michele Kang’s agreement to acquire a majority stake in Olympique Lyonnais, Kynisca reaffirms its commitment to advancing women’s football and unlocking its full commercial potential.
Since its founding, Kynisca has been built on a simple belief: women’s football deserves dedicated investment, innovation, and an approach specifically designed for the women’s game. That belief remains unchanged. Kynisca remains exclusively focused on advancing women’s football, while Olympique Lyonnais’ men’s team will continue to operate independently. Across its clubs, Kynisca is investing in talent, infrastructure, innovation, and fan engagement while supporting the next generation of athletes and leaders who will shape the global game for years to come.
“Women’s football remains one of the most exciting growth opportunities in global sport,” said Kang. “Through Kynisca, we are investing in the people, clubs, and ideas that will help define its future. Our ambition is unchanged, our commitment is unwavering, and I am more excited than ever about what lies ahead for the game.”
With an exciting period ahead across women’s football, Kynisca remains focused on the work in front of it and on continuing to help build the future of the game worldwide.
