Olympique Lyonnais Feminin renamed to OL Lyonnes
The new name honours the club's membership of the OL family and their roots in the city of Lyon, they said in a statement.
"The subtle change from 'Lyonnais' to 'Lyonnes' underlines the club's all-female identity," the club added.
All their home matches will now be staged at the 59,186-seater Groupama Stadium from the 2025-26 season. The stadium was previously only used by the men's team, Olympique Lyonnais.
The women's side, who have won a record eight Champions League titles and were recently crowned Premiere Ligue champions for the 18th time, will also have a new logo for next season.
"This new chapter for OL Lyonnes goes far beyond a simple change of name and logo - it's about redefining what's possible in women's football," Kang said.
"Our ambition is to set a new global benchmark for excellence, ambition and investment in women's football. This transformation fully embodies our commitment to offer the best to our players, staff and supporters."

Eutelsat beats earnings estimates on Ukraine boost, government demand
French satellite operator Eutelsat reported better-than-expected annual earnings on Tuesday, driven by growing interest in its satellite internet services from government and corporate customers. Eutelsat gained the spotlight this year as European governments sought home-grown solutions for satellite services, aiming to reduce their reliance on U.S. providers. Revenues from video, connectivity and government services reached 1.23 billion euros ($1.43 billion) in the year ended June 30, up 0.8 per cent from a year earlier. Financial analysts had expected those revenues to total 1.21 billion euros, according to a consensus poll provided by Eutelsat. The Paris-based group hopes to offset declining income from its video business by gaining a foothold in the satellite internet market, where SpaceX's Starlink dominates. Eutelsat said revenues from its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites rose 84.1 per cent yearly to 187 million euros. Higher revenues for government services reflected services delivered in Ukraine and increased demand from other non-U.S. governments, the company said. The German government has been paying for Ukraine's access to Eutelsat's network for about a year. Eutelsat expects LEO revenues to grow by 50 per cent next year, saying it will compensate, but not yet outweigh the decline in its legacy business, which are impacted by additional Russian sanctions. However, the operator said it took a 1.1 billion euro loss through the year, partly due to impairments from its geostationary (GEO) assets. In addition to its 34 GEO satellites - mostly used for broadcasting and fixed satellite internet - Eutelsat owns a constellation of over 600 in low Earth orbit, managed by its London-based subsidiary OneWeb, which was acquired in 2023. The company is undergoing a radical shake-up following the appointment of a new CEO and a chairman as well as new injections of capital led by the French state alongside Britain and other anchor shareholders for 1.5 billion euros.

Infineon slightly raises outlook for profitability after strong Q3
BERLIN :German chipmaker Infineon slightly raised its full-year guidance for its segment result margin on Tuesday after its quarterly figure beat forecasts despite ongoing tariff uncertainties and a weaker dollar. Infineon reported a segment result margin - management's preferred measure of operating profitability - of 18 per cent for its fiscal third quarter from April to June, beating the forecast for 15.8 per cent. Infineon slightly raised its full-year guidance to high-teens percentage gain in its segment result, which is adjusted for special items, up from the mid-teens range it previously projected. Shares were down 1.9 per cent in pre-market indications after the results were published. Quarterly revenue of 3.70 billion euros ($4.27 billion) was in line with forecasts, up 3 per cent compared with the previous quarter, and would have grown as much as 9 per cent had the U.S. dollar exchange rate remained unchanged. Infineon is well-placed to take advantage of growing semiconductor demand for cars and power supply for AI data centres, among other fields, said CEO Jochen Hanebeck. "Inventory corrections in our target markets have progressed a lot," he said. "However, we and our customers are continuing to navigate our way through an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical situation." At the same time, investments for the fiscal year will now total around 2.2 billion euros, it said, down slightly from 2.3 billion euros previously.
