Palais des Sports de Marseille is an indoor sports venue in southern France with a seating capacity of around 5,800 people. The facility has a flexible layout that can be adapted for tennis, basketball, ice sports, and various entertainment performances.

The venue opened in 1988 and quickly became an important event space in southern France. Since then it has hosted major tournaments and competitions that have shaped the sporting calendar of the region.

The venue draws crowds for major sporting tournaments and concert performances that mark the rhythm of entertainment in the city. People gather here to watch professional athletes and musicians, making it a social hub for different communities.
