What to expect from the Stade Velodrome crowd?

The fans of OM are renowned around France for having immensely passionate feelings towards their club! While the rest of the South of France gravitates slightly towards Rugby, Marseille is all about football. With the hardcore Ultra’s taking their places behind both the North and South Stands, they generate a cacophony of noise that resonates round the Stade Velodrome! Don’t be surprised to be lots of banners and the odd flare or two during a match!

On the big matches days, Marseille comes alive. People live and breathe for and with their team. Marseille crowd is one of the most supportive and passionate in whole France. The stadium is always full and the atmosphere is amazing.

On the other hand they are warm-blooded and can easily be insulted, so don’t provoke them. But as long as you are respectful, you will enjoy the game and the memories will stay with you forever.
