Stade Vélodrome – construction description

Redevelopment of the Marseille stadium has been planned in a way that enables simultaneous matches by Olympique. For majority of the reconstruction no less than 48,000 seats should be available. Below a much simplified time frame:

  • Summer of 2012 – new sections of Ganay Stand (east) to be opened, new catering/sanitary infrastructure for north and south stands;
  • End of 2012 – steel structure for future roof of Ganay should be ready, works on similar structures behind goals, dismantling main stand;
  • early 2013 – first parts of membrane to cover Ganay;
  • Spring/Summer 2013 – further membrane laying, works on main stand ongoing. All of the ground should be ready in 2014.

Capacity of future stands:

  • Tribune Jean Bouin - 18,851 (90 for disabled);
  • Tribune Ganay - 22,321 (137 for disabled);
  • Virage Sud - 12,937 (72 for disabled);
  • Virage Nord - 12,947 (72 for disabled).
