OM has not said its last word. The Marseille football club announced on Monday that it “deeply” regretted the travel ban imposed on its supporters for the match against Paris FC on Saturday January 31, during the 20th day of Ligue 1, and announced that it had “filed an appeal” so that this decision could be “re-examined”.
“The club deeply regrets this decision, which once again deprives its supporters of the possibility of following their team during an official trip,” OM wrote in a press release.
The Paris police headquarters and the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture issued two orders last week prohibiting the presence of Marseille supporters in the capital during the matches against the PFC on Saturday January 31 and then against the Paris SG on February 8.
OM will face Paris FC on January 31 then PSG on February 8
In a press release published this Saturday, January 24, the Collectif Ultras Paris called on the authorities to authorize the travel of Marseille supporters for the PSG-OM on February 8.
Relations between Marseille fans and those of Paris SG are conflictual and matches between the two teams have regularly caused incidents. Travel by PSG supporters to Marseille, and vice versa, has been systematically prohibited by the authorities for more than ten years.
In August 2025, supporters of Paris FC, a club with which OM does not have any particular rivalry, were authorized to go to the Stade-Vélodrome. The match took place “without any incident or excess being noted” recalls the Marseille club.
OM “is therefore wondering about the lack of implementation of the principle of reciprocity during this Saturday’s match”, continues the Marseille club in its press release.
“Convinced that supervised and proportionate solutions can be found, Olympique de Marseille has filed an appeal so that this decision can be re-examined and its supporters be authorized to make this trip,” the club continued.
