Former Lyon player Bafétimbi Gomis returned to the city of Lyon to celebrate his wedding with his wife Anais at the Church of the Redemption on Saturday, June 24, 2023. Gomis, who played for Lyon from 2009 to 2014, seemed to be nostalgic for his time at the club as he emerged from the church in a white suit, reminiscent of the white tunic he wore during his time at Lyon.
Despite currently playing for Galatasaray in Turkey, Gomis chose Lyon to sanctify his relationship with his wife. The ceremony was conducted by Father Adrian Danish, the vicar of the parish, and it was a surprise for many considering Gomis’ career has taken him away from France. At 37 years old, Gomis is likely to end his career at Galatasaray.
Nine years after leaving Lyon, Gomis chose the city for one of the happiest days of his life. After the wedding ceremony, Gomis celebrated the occasion at the Château des Halles with several football celebrities, including Blaise Matuidi, Andre Ayew, Bona Sarr, and View Camera. Eric Abidal and Jean Michel Aulas, prominent figures in Lyon’s football scene, were also in attendance.
This wedding marks the beginning of a new chapter in Gomis’ life. As he closes the pages of his professional career, he opens the ones of his married life. The news of his wedding has been met with well wishes for happiness and success from fans and supporters.
