For a week in January, Olympique de Marseille wore the colours of the African continent by promoting the OM Africa label. Interviews, video clips, competitions… Throughout the week, the Club showcased 100% African content.
For several decades the links between Olympique de Marseille and Africa have been strong. Many players from the African continent have worn the Olympien jersey throughout the history of the Club. As a result, OM’s reputation is immense in the Maghreb and West Africa.
This is why, in December 2019, Olympique de Marseille created “OM Africa”, a vast programme entirely dedicated to its African fans and designed to bring together and federate all its supporters around events on the African continent, but also to develop training through its OM Schools and social projects through OM Foundation.
For more than a year, OM fan clubs have sprung up all over Africa, three OM Schools have been created and several events (Legends Match…) have taken place to celebrate the strong and emotional links between OM and Africa.
To go even further, Olympique de Marseille has decided to dedicate a whole week to OM Africa and OM fans in Africa with exclusive content, numerous gifts to be won and surprises, with the highlight of this week being the OM – Rennes match at the Orange Vélodrome.
