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 sources do not record an opening date for Stade La Martine; the ground is a single-stand football stadium in Marseille with an estimated 1,990 seats. In 2014 Athletico Marseille, formerly Groupe Sportif Consolat, played its National (third-tier) championship season there even though the venue did not meet the standards required for that level. Renovation was discussed, but the club's budget did not allow the work.
The stadium's name comes from Chemin de la Martine, the road that leads to it in Marseille's 15th arrondissement. Local clubs such as La Solidarité and Malpassé play and train here, and a neighbourhood match in the H-Cup was held on 25 June 2021.
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.
