L’Olympique de Marseille Football Club


By Aude Brun (545)

L’Olympique de Marseille also known as l’OM or Marseille is a soccer team situated in Marseille, South of France. This is a very good team in France , it’s in L1 (League 1) which is the top level in France . The club was founded in 1899 and this the largest most successful club in France and also the most decorated, in fact, l’OM won the UEFA Champions League in 1993. No stadium in France can provide the atmosphere generated at the Stade Velodrome with his 60,013 seats. Among these seats, 40,000 are season-ticket holders (persons who go to each game). So, Marseille has the most passionate public, the team has fans all around the world.

Last game (08/17/08) : OM 4-0 Auxerre.
(Watch a video of a game from 2007 here ... )

My Opinion :
I think if you have the chance to go to France, and in Marseille, you should go to see l’OM playing at the “Stade Velodrome”. I’m sure you’ll have fun there.

My dad is a season-ticket holders, so sometimes I can go with him. I always have fun there, I like the atmosphere : every game, the stadium is full, everybody is standing up wearing OM jerseys and scarfs. All along the game, you HAVE TO sing OM songs, jump, be active. You can’t be bored, I promess!

During my reading to Aude's article, the thing which drew my attention is the encurgment from Aude to seize the opportunity to release L’Olympique de Marseille. Referring to the encurgement from Aude and his father position there,I will do my best next year to go to Marseille.I wish Aude and his father help me in there.
