OM Féminine: Name Change & Marseille Revolution

Do not say “go OM” anymore if you will see a match of the female team of the Canebière club. But “Come on the Marseillaises”.

The female section, promoted in Arkema First League this season, changes its name. This recalls the same semantic moult as that operated by the multiple champion of France, Lyon since last year. Women’s OL had become “Lyonnes”. Except that it was for a change of owner. Because John Textor, the former president, had sold the female section to Michele Kang, who has since become president of OL …

For OM leaders, this change is “a strong name, inspired by the French revolutionary anthem, which embodies power, freedom and ambition, wrote the Phocaean club in a press release. Much more than a change of identity, it is a real visual, cultural and strategic revolution that takes place today in Marseille. »»

Lyrique, OM continues: “The Marseillaises no longer define themselves only as a football team. They become a brand, a movement, a state of mind. This new identity embodies Marseille culture – made of passion, resilience and unity – and opens up to a lifestyle and international dimension. Their launch slogan: All revolutions start with a Marseillaiseannounces color: to federate far beyond football, around universal values ​​of inclusion, progress and freedom. »»

It only remains for the players to obtain their maintenance this season to sing La Marseillaise at the end of the year.
