Stade Vélodrome

The Stade Vélodrome is a multi-purpose stadium located in Marseille, France, primarily known as the home stadium of Olympique de Marseille (OM), a major French football club. Recently, the stadium has been in the news for two distinct reasons. First, the OM women's team played their first-ever match at the Stade Vélodrome against Montpellier. Despite a loss, the event was considered a significant milestone for the team. Second, the stadium is scheduled to host a concert by Kanye West in June 2026. This event is noteworthy because West's appearances are increasingly controversial, with other cities, like London, voicing opposition to his performances. The Stade Vélodrome remains a significant venue for sports and entertainment in Marseille, holding cultural and sporting importance for the city and region.
