OM: End of season for a turn at the Vélodrome

The Professional Football League sanctioned this Wednesday the northern turn of the Vélodrome stadium, the home of OM. Until the end of the season.

The end of the season promises to be a decidedly long one for OM and its supporters. This Wednesday, the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League did not spare the Vélodrome stadium in its sanctions of the day. With an early end to the financial year already announced.

Due to a “ massive use of pyrotechnic devices » during the match of the 29e day of Ligue 1 between Marseille and Metz, on April 10, the disciplinary unit decreed the “ partial closure for two closed matches including one match by revocation of the suspension of the North stand of the Stade Orange Vélodrome “.

The Vélodrome amputated to accommodate Nice and Rennes

The sentence taking effect immediately, the said bend in the Boulevard Michelet enclosure will ring hollow this Sunday for the Nice reception, as part of the 31e lifting of the championship. Same thing on May 17 for the host of Stade Rennais – a potentially decisive meeting in the race for Europe counting as the very last act of Ligue 1.
