Olympique de Marseille kick off their home season with a historic duel against Paris FC, who have just returned to the elite of French soccer. The match, scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m., promises to attract the attention of both Marseille fans and curious onlookers intrigued by the Parisian club's progress. The match will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS 1, the only channel holding the rights for this confrontation.
Founded in 1969, Paris FC had been out of the top flight since 1979. After several decades spent between Ligue 2 and National, the club earned its return to Ligue 1 in May 2025 thanks to a decisive draw against Martigues. This return is all the more symbolic as it means that the capital will be represented by two clubs in Ligue 1, a first since 1990. Paris FC is now aiming to establish a long-term presence at the highest level.
ForOM, the duel will be an opportunity to confirm their status as favourites and make a successful start to the season at the Stade Vélodrome. For Paris FC, it's a prestigious first Ligue 1 outing against a monument of French soccer.
