Georges Bayrou (21 December 1883 - 5 December 1953) was a French footballer.[1] He competed in the men's tournament at the 1908 Summer Olympics.[2]
Bayrou played for Gallia Club Paris in 1904–1908, where he won the 1905 USFSA Football Championship. On 22 October 1908, he played his first and only match for France in a 17–1 defeat against Denmark during the 1908 Summer Olympics.[3]
In 1908, he became the president of Olympique de Cette, which later became FC Sète, in which they won two Coupe de France in 1930 and 1934, and two Division 1 titles in 1933–34 and 1938–39, during his tenure. The Stade Georges-Bayrou stadium is named after him.[4]
