Ligue 1: O. de Marseille invite children under 14 free for the game against Bordeaux on 30/10/2016

Olympique de Marseille (Ligue 1) are inviting children under 14 years old (accompanied by a parent) to come attend their home game against FC Girondins de Bordeaux at the Velodrome Orange (67,354 seats), for free, during the All Saints Day holiday on Sunday, 30/10/2016 (kick-off at 20:45 CET).

"I made this decision for two reasons: first, I want to thank the fans. I know that the recent period was somewhat complicated. They are very loyal and committed supporters. The second is that I would like to unite families in the Marseille stadium so that they participate in our project," said Frank McCourt (USA), the new owner of Olympique de Marseille, on 17/10/2016.

"We set a goal to reconnect with 'le Marseillais', and by this gesture, we hope to awaken the enthusiasm of young people. I hope to see many children in the stadium," added the American businessman.

During Matchday 11 of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille will also be inviting fans to "spend an evening under the theme of Superheroes and Halloween", indicated the club on Wednesday, 19/10/2016.
