As part of its three-year project, OM plans to develop new infrastructure for its youth and women's teams. After studying several options in Marseille, notably the Martine stadium and the Pont-de-Vivaux racecourse, the club is now turning to the small town of Trets, located north of Bouches-du-Rhône, as a potential site. for this future equipment.
Indeed, according to the Team, Trets, which recently hosted the France Espoirs team led by Thierry Henry, benefits from a modern sports complex and quality pitches. During this preparation for the Olympics, the Bleuets coach had also praised the excellent training conditions offered by the town. In recent months, the OM reserves have already trained several times on these pitches, taking advantage of their optimal condition during the renovation work at the Commanderie. Before long, these facilities should also host the matches of the reserve team, currently managed by Jean-Pierre Papin.
The reserve team will play at Trets, will the training center follow?
The development project of shots is part of a larger reorganization of the Marseille club's infrastructure. Indeed, OM wishes to relieve congestion at the Commanderie, currently too small to accommodate both the professional team and the youth teams. The Cesne stadium, which houses theABOUT Campus since its inauguration in 2018, no longer meets the club's expectations, particularly with regard to the training of young talents. The idea is therefore to create a training center in Trets, while reserving the Commanderie exclusively for professionals.
Frank McCourt is expected to travel to Provence at the end of the week to discuss the next steps in this development. The final choice of site will be decisive for the future of training at OM.
