Located in Marseille, France, Stade Vélodrome is the Olympique de Marseille, one of the most traditional teams in France, stadium.
The stadium was built in 1937, but suffered many reforms . The most recent one, in 2014, made the stadium an "elite" one. That means that Stade Vélodrome can host World Cup, Champions League and many other important tournaments finals.
A peculiar characteristic of the "home" of Olympique de Marseille (also known as just OM) is that the club isn't the owner of the stadium. It is located by the OM, but the truly owner is not the French government or Marseille's local authorities, but a man! As many people have a holiday houses, or a farm houses, this man has a stadium. Why not?
With the upcoming Eurocup, which will take place in France in 2016, Stade Vélodrome will probably host great matches. It's the opportunity for Marseille to show that the city has (in my opinion) one of the greatest and more modern stadiums in the world!
