Martigues will play its home matches in Gueugnon

It will therefore be Gueugnon and the Jean-Laville stadium for FC Martigues. Forced to relocate its home matches to the Vélodrome de Marseille since the start of the season, the promoted to Ligue 2, whose Francis-Turcan stadium is not yet up to standard for the championship, will therefore temporarily play its next matches in the Blacksmiths’ den. This is what the Professional Football League (LFP) announced this Friday, October 11. By press release, the body indicates that at the request of the FCM, its Stadium Infrastructure Commission and its Competitions Commission have noted “that from the 9th day of Ligue 2 BKT, the home matches of FC Martigues will take place at Gueugnon, at the Jean-Laville stadium.” The rental of the Vélodrome stadium being too expensive and not profitable for a club already facing serious financial problems, the Martega management had also considered the Walter-Luzi stadium in Chambly. It will therefore be Gueugnon whose first team, winner of the League Cup in 2000, plays in National 3. FC Martigues now hopes to be able to play at Francis-Turcan from January 11, for the reception of Clermont.
