A woman says she was raped during a match at Olympique de Marseille’s Stade Velodrome, according to an account she shared on social media.
The incident came to public attention after the woman described what had happened herself online. The details made available do not identify the match, the alleged assailant or the precise area of the stadium where the incident is said to have taken place.
Olympique de Marseille has issued a statement expressing its full support for the woman. The club’s response followed the publication of her account and acknowledged the seriousness of what she had reported.
The allegation concerns an incident during a match at the club’s home ground, one of the most prominent football stadiums in France. No further information about the circumstances has been provided in the source account.
The woman referred to the incident in a social-media post using the phrase: “????? ??? «???????????» ?? «?????????».” The wording can be translated as: “Such ‘harassment’ at the Velodrome.”
Her decision to speak publicly was the means by which the alleged incident became known. The account prompted a formal reaction from the Marseille hierarchy, which said it stood fully behind her.
The club’s statement did not, according to the information available, provide details about any investigation, identify a suspect or outline whether the matter had been reported to the authorities. There is also no information in the source account about possible legal proceedings or any action taken inside the stadium.
The allegation has therefore been reported on the basis of the woman’s own testimony and the club’s public expression of support. It is not clear from the available information when the match took place or whether the fixture was a home league game or part of another competition.
Stade Velodrome, formally known as Orange Velodrome, is the home of Olympique de Marseille. The source refers to the venue as “Velodrome” and describes the alleged incident as having happened while a match was being played there.
The club has not released further details in the information provided. There has also been no public response cited from any alleged perpetrator.
The case places the focus on the woman’s account of what happened inside the Marseille stadium and on the club’s stated commitment to supporting her. Until more information becomes available, the circumstances surrounding the allegation remain limited to the description shared on social media and the brief statement issued by Olympique de Marseille.
