Reading time: 5 min

  • A principal partner since 2023, CMA CGM will remain on the front of the shirts worn by all OM teams until 2028.
  • Together, CMA CGM and Olympique de Marseille are strengthening a partnership built on passion and trust, united by a shared ambition for Marseille and its future.
  • As principal partner, the CMA CGM Group and the CMA CGM Foundation will continue to support all generations of players, as well as the Club’s social and community initiatives led by Treizième Homme, its foundation.

After three seasons together, Olympique de Marseille and the CMA CGM Group announce the extension of their partnership for a further two years. This renewed agreement confirms a solid relationship, initiated in 2023: a long-term, comprehensive commitment that continues to grow stronger year after year.

 

CMA CGM, principal partner of OM until 2028

CMA CGM will continue to appear on the front of the shirts worn by all Olympique de Marseille teams and will benefit from enhanced visibility within the Orange Vélodrome stadium, at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus training centre “La Commanderie”, at OM Campus, and across all the Club’s media and digital platforms.

Two emblematic institutions of the Phocean city are thus joining forces around a shared ambition: to elevate Marseille’s profile in France and internationally. Thanks to a 360-degree partnership, the CMA CGM Group is supporting the development of Olympique de Marseille well beyond the pitch: improving infrastructure, expanding the OM brand globally, and actively contributing to the social initiatives driven by Treizième Homme through the CMA CGM Foundation.

Pablo Longoria, President of Olympique de Marseille: “We are very proud to continue this major partnership with the CMA CGM Group. This extension reflects a relationship of trust and a shared passion between two leading institutions of Marseille. At a time when our club is undergoing structural transformation and growth, both on the sporting and economic fronts, having such a strong partner, one that shares our ambition and high standards, is deeply committed to its local community, and has an international outlook that supports and inspires our own, is a considerable asset. Today marks another important milestone for the future of OM. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Rodolphe Saadé, Tanya Saadé Zeenny and everyone at CMA CGM for their renewed confidence.”

Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group: “I am pleased to announce that CMA CGM is renewing its commitment as the main sponsor of Olympique de Marseille for two additional seasons. Since 2023, we have stood alongside a club that embodies the essence of Marseille: its energy, its boldness, and its drive to push beyond limits. We want to continue energizing the Vélodrome and to pass on to the people of Marseille, especially its youth, a spirit of effort and pride.”

A shared commitment to all teams within the Club

As principal partner, CMA CGM supports every part of OM: from youth teams and the academy to the women’s and men’s professional squads. A full and dedicated commitment, close to the pitch and to an entire generation of players.

 

Two Foundations dedicated to supporting young people

The CMA CGM Foundation and Treizième Homme will continue their joint support for social and community initiatives aimed at young people, particularly in the areas of education and access to sport. In Marseille, the two organisations are jointly leading the renovation of City Stadiums, with two due to open by the end of 2025.

By continuing their collaboration, CMA CGM and OM are deepening a partnership built on passion and trust, serving a shared ambition for Marseille and its future.
