About the club
Olympique de Marseille is more than a football club - it is the beating heart of France's great southern port city. Founded in 1899, OM carries the motto 'Droit au But' ('straight to the goal') on its crest, and in 1993 it became the first French club to win the Champions League. In this Mediterranean city football is close to a religion, and the Vélodrome is its cathedral - no other French city lives its team this intensely.
A trip to Marseille feels like a Mediterranean holiday with a huge football match at its centre: a buzzing old port, colourful markets, fresh seafood and sunshine most of the year. On match day the whole city turns sky-blue and white, from the Vieux-Port to the stands. For Israeli fans the vibe is instantly familiar - sea, sun and passion - and the Vélodrome delivers one of Europe's most electric atmospheres.
The stadium
The Stade Vélodrome is the largest club ground in France, holding around 67,000, and it takes its name from the cycling track that once circled the pitch. The sweeping wave-shaped roof added in the 2010s traps the noise to almost frightening effect: when the ends behind the goals get going, the whole bowl shakes. Even a routine league game here feels like an occasion.

Things to do in Marseille
The Old Port (Vieux-Port)
The heart of Marseille: fishermen sell the morning catch at the quayside fish market, and by evening the harbour fills with cafés and restaurants. Everything starts here.
Notre-Dame de la Garde
The basilica watching over the city from its hilltop - locals call her 'the Good Mother'. The view from up there, across the city, the sea and the islands, is the best in Marseille.
Le Panier
The city's oldest quarter: colourful alleys, street art, small galleries and shaded squares. An easy hour or two of wandering, a short walk from the port.
The Calanques
White limestone coves and turquoise water between Marseille and Cassis - reach them by boat from the Old Port or on foot. One of the most beautiful natural corners of France.
Bouillabaisse, the city's dish
Marseille's famous fish stew is a whole ritual: served in two stages, with rouille sauce and croutons. Book a reputable restaurant in advance - it's an experience, not just a meal.
Worth knowing
- Marseille was the first French club to win the Champions League, in 1993 - and the fans make sure nobody ever forgets it.
- The Vélodrome got its name from the cycling track that once ran around the pitch - a relic of the days when the stadium hosted bike racing too.
- The ground hosted matches at two World Cups - 1938 and 1998 - as well as several European Championships. Few stadiums in Europe have a CV like it.
- Zinedine Zidane grew up in Marseille's La Castellane neighbourhood - the French football legend is first and foremost a son of this city.
Tips for the travelling fan
- 01Take métro line 2 to Rond-Point du Prado or Sainte-Marguerite Dromel, then walk. After the match the trains are packed - budget for a wait, or walk part of the way back.
- 02Base yourselves around the Vieux-Port: everything is walkable from there and the métro to the stadium leaves right nearby. On match nights the whole quarter lives the game.
- 03On match day get to the stadium area an hour or two early: the stalls along Boulevard Michelet, sky-blue shirts on every corner and the buzz outside are as much a part of the experience as the game itself.
