Ligue 1: Intersport extends with Olympique Marseille for the season 2015-16

The sporting goods retailer Intersport has extended its partnership with Olympique de Marseille (Ligue 1) for the 2015-16 season, the club announced on 03/04/2015. Intersport has supported Marseille since the 2010-11 season and has appeared as one of the club's shirt sponsors from 2012-13.

Intersport, which achieved €1.5bn in revenue in 2014, aims to reach the €2bn mark (15% of the market share) in the year 2015 or 2016. The chain opened a 1500m2 store in the Marseille Grand Littoral shopping area on 25/03/2015, and another the same day, a 4,400 m2 store -- the largest in France -- in Plan de Campagne (in the Bouches-du-Rhône region, approximately 25km north of Marseille). It should open a total of 31 stores in France in 2015.

"This partnership has greatly developed the reputation of Intersport in France. Extending the beautiful story started now six years ago with Olympique de Marseille was an obvious decision," said Jacky Rihouet, the CEO of Intersport group.
