Official | Marseille sign new 15-year Stade Vélodrome occupancy agreement | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille have reached an agreement with the City of Marseille on a new 15-year convention governing the use of the Orange Vélodrome.

The new deal replaces the existing stadium arrangement and sets out revised operating conditions between the club and the municipality. According to a statement published by OM, the agreement provides a clearer and more sustainable framework for the stadium’s use, following recommendations issued at ministerial level and by the regional chamber of accounts.

The convention allows Marseille to begin phased investment in the stadium, including work aimed at improving supporter access, safety measures and the wider use of the venue beyond matchdays. Any developments will be introduced progressively over the duration of the agreement.

The Orange Vélodrome remains owned by the City of Marseille, with OM continuing as its primary occupant. The revised framework is intended to balance the interests of the club, the local authority and other stakeholders involved in the stadium’s operation.GFFN | George Boxall
