Marseille's professional sports scene is dominated by Olympique de Marseille (OM), one of the most successful clubs in French football history and the only French club to have won the UEFA Champions League. The Orange Velodrome (67,000 capacity) is the largest stadium in France and regularly sells out for Ligue 1 fixtures, European ties, and the Marseille derby against Paris Saint-Germain. For supporter groups and amateur clubs, a hired coach moves the squad and equipment to away fixtures reliably and keeps the team together during travel.
Rugby is significant in the wider Provence region: RC Toulon (Rugby Club Toulonnais), about 65 kilometres east, has been one of Europe's leading rugby union clubs. Marseille's Mediterranean coast also makes it a centre for water sports, with major sailing regattas using the Roucas Blanc marina and the Pointe Rouge harbour. All our sports team coaches have luggage space suitable for kit bags and can accommodate sports equipment.
The Orange Velodrome is 5 kilometres south of the city centre via the Prado boulevard. Away supporter groups enter via the designated away sector; coaches use the Prado approach and the designated away parking zone. For OM away fixtures at other Ligue 1 grounds -- Lyon (310 kilometres, about 2.5 hours via the A7), Nice (200 kilometres, about 2 hours via the A8), Toulouse (400 kilometres, about 3.5 hours via the A61) -- a hired coach takes the supporter group directly and returns after the match. OM's Commanderie training ground is in the La Valentine area in the east of the city; academy and women's team transport from the training ground is a regular booking.
RC Toulon's Stade Felix Mayol is approximately 65 kilometres east of Marseille, about 50 to 60 minutes by coach via the A50 motorway. Toulon is one of France's most followed rugby clubs and supporter coach hire for home fixtures is a regular requirement. Also in the region: Sporting Club de Toulon's rugby sevens programme and the Aix Provence Rugby club (based in Aix-en-Provence, 30 kilometres north), for inter-club and league fixture transport.
Marseille hosted the sailing events for the 2024 Paris Olympics at the Roucas Blanc Olympic Sailing Centre. Major sailing regattas continue to use the Roucas Blanc and Pointe Rouge harbours. La Ciotat (35 kilometres east) and Cassis (22 kilometres east) are additional sailing and water sports hubs. The Semaine Olympique Francaise at Hyeres (90 kilometres east, about 60 to 70 minutes) is one of France's major sailing events. We can transport teams with mast bags, sail bags, and dinghy trolleys given advance notice of the equipment dimensions.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) runs around 80 to 150 EUR per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 140 to 250 EUR per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 210 to 380 EUR per day. Local Marseille ground runs and training transfers are at the lower range. Away fixtures to Toulon, Lyon, or Nice are at the mid to higher range.
