This evening, on the occasion of the meeting between Olympique de Marseille and Auxerre, the Olympian club will pay tribute to the victims of the floods in Valence. First of all, Roberto De Zerbi's men will display a flag of the Valencian community on their jerseys. In addition to this, the jerseys worn this evening will be auctioned on the MatchWornShirt platform and the funds, thanks to the “Treizième Homme” organization, will be donated to the Secours populaire français, massively mobilized in Spain.
A magnificent initiative when we already learned yesterday that groups of supporters had organized a collection of hygiene and basic necessities products intended for people affected by these floods. In addition to this gesture for the floods in Spain, the OM jersey will feature the Bleuet de France, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Liberation.
