Florian Maurice led the attacking efforts alongside the emerging talent of Ludovic Giuly, who became a mainstay of the side. This Adidas third shirt carries the Sodexho sponsor branding from a time when the club operated under the presidency of Jean-Michel Aulas. Lyon continued to build its standing in the French top flight, prioritizing league stability as they moved toward the turn of the century.
