Stadium Stand Information
Away fans find themselves in the North East corner of the stadium. They should enter the ground at Parque Chanot Hall 7.The easiest way to get there is from the metro terminal station “St. Marguerite-Dromel” and walk along the Ganay Stand.
The north stand is home to the Ultra groups Yankee Nord Marseille, Marseille Trop Puissant, Fanatics, and Dodgers supporters associations. more...
The south kop style end is dominated by the two biggest Ultra groups of Olympique de Marseille which are also famous for their exceptionally massive display of banners and colours at the beginning of the game, called Commando Ultra in the lower half and the South Winners in the upper half of the central section.
In accordance with the club, all these groups manage the sale of season and single tickets amongst their members themselves after buying them up at the beginning of each season.
Facilities inside the ground, means toilets as well as subsistence facilities, are rather poor but there are several pubs within convenient walking distance to the ground.
However, these pubs are mostly crowded on matchdays as they are mainly frequented by Marseille supporters. If you tend to go there, be aware that there have been problems between English football supporters and locals in the past.
There are also about 500 spaces for wheelchair users located at the bottom of the Ganay Stand of the Stade Vélodrome, more than at any other ground in France.
