traffic jams and diverted buses to be expected

On the occasion of the 16th final of the Coupe de France, Olympique de Marseille faces LOSC at the Vélodrome stadium, this Tuesday January 14, 2025.

For this reason, the Marseille transport network (RTM) is partially modified and difficult traffic around the stadium is expected. Here are the details.

Nearly 65,000 people expected

These are not less than 65.000 supporters blue and white who will go to the stadium to support the Marseille team against Lille. Kick-off is scheduled, this time, for 9:10 p.m.

Due to this high influx, blockages should form on the axis going from Castellane to the Mazargues obelisk, passing by the Prado roundabout of course, but also the Sainte-Marguerite Dromel district.
