Stade La Martine, Municipal sports stadium in northern Marseille, France.
Stade La Martine is a sports stadium in the northern part of Marseille, built around one main grandstand and several playing surfaces. The site has football pitches and handball courts used for both training sessions and competitive matches.
The stadium opened in 1965 as the home ground of Athletico Marseille, a club that was previously known as Groupe Sportif Consolat. The club stayed based there until 2022, making it the venue's main tenant for several decades.
The stadium sits in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille, a working-class district where local sport is part of everyday life. On match days, neighbors gather in the stands to support their local teams, giving the place a lively neighborhood feel.
The venue is reached via Chemin de la Martine, where parking is available for regular visitors and those with mobility needs. On event days it is worth arriving early, as the access road can get busy.
In 2014 the stadium hosted national championship matches even though it did not meet all the standard requirements for that level of competition. This exception shows how much weight the club carried in the region at the time.
