But Marseille, which has just two professional teams (ASM and Olympique de Marseille), has had a bad luck in hosting the UEFA Champions League final since 2007. The last two years, the French capital has hosted a pre-party for the Champions League final, but Marseille's "Mec" and Oporto's "Mof" did not have a great time.
Olympique de Marseille's influence over Marseille FC
Marseille FC and Olympique de Marseille are owned by the same company, but Olympique de Marseille holds a majority of shares, making it the real owner of Marseille FC.
It was however until 2011 that Marseille FC decided to place the Olympique de Marseille's name and badge on the shirts of its football team.
When OM's football team won the 2007–2008 Ligue 1 (French championship), it was the first title of OM since 1998–1999.
Since then, the team won Ligue 2 in 2011–2012, but the following season OM went back in Ligue 1 after being relegated.
Since 2009, Olympique de Marseille has supported a third of the training expenses of Marseille FC. This implies that a player cannot sign with another club until a year after the player's contract expires with OM.
It was thus until 2011 that Marseille FC decided to place the Olympique de Marseille's name and badge on the shirts of its football team.
Marseille FC's current football team is an elite team that has won 2 French Championships (2007 and 2011) and 2 French Cups (2006 and 2010). It has finished as runners-up for the last two seasons.
Monaco is an exclusive country club, with just 1,200 members.
It was until 1994 that Olympique de Marseille got its first Monaco stadium. This means that OM only played 5 matches in Monaco, one of which was a friendly in 1989. In 2008, OM and AS Monaco reached a compromise.
The agreement between OM and AS Monaco allowed OM to play at Monaco's stadium for four years, and thus OM will play twice in Monaco in 2013.
