A ceremony was held on Saturday, October 6 at the City Hall of Lyon, in the presence of Professor Michel D’HOOGHE, Chairman of the FIFA Medical Committee, Gérard Collomb, Senator-Mayor of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas and representatives of the two centers concerned.

The Albert Centre and Santy Centre are the first to be accredited as FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence in France. By awarding this label, the international football governing body recommends these institutions to world football community as an elite center dedicated to the football players and whose expertise in specialized fields is a world reference.

The candidacy of both centers was supported by the City of Lyon and Olympique Lyonnais. The momentum created by obtaining the label will lead to the creation of the Académie Médicale de Football de Lyon (AMFL), which aims to welcome, serve, treat the athletes of all levels and particularly professional footballers playing in France and worldwide.
