Marseille ordered to close parts of stadium over fan violence
Paris: The French Professional Football League on Friday imposed sanctions against Olympique de Marseille club to close down parts of their home ground – the Velodrome Stadium – till October 15 for fan violence that marred their Ligue 1 match against Lyon on September 20.
The sanctions committee justified this measure, which includes the closure of the north and south areas of the stadium, “in view of the seriousness of the facts and the context of recurrence”, according to a statement on Friday, noting that an investigation has been opened.
Marseille were sanctioned for their fan’s behaviour during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Lyon, which was held up for 20 minutes for violence.
The governing body has called a meeting on October 15 with Marseille officials, after the investigation has been concluded, and then the disciplinary committee will make a decision.
The referee at the Marseille-Lyon clash on Sunday had to interrupt the game twice after the home fans threw objects, including bottles, on the ground.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
