Olympique de Marseille and Montpellier to play friendly match behind closed doors

Olympique de Marseille and Montpellier will play a friendly match this Saturday in Martigues under strict closed-door conditions. The match will be held without spectators and will not be broadcast on any media platforms or streaming services.

This decision aims to allow both teams to work in a controlled environment away from public and media scrutiny during the international break. The absence of fans is also noted as a way to avoid security concerns and the need for significant law enforcement presence. While no live video or replay will be available to fans, the match is being filmed for internal club use, meaning goals or highlights may be available shortly after the conclusion of the game.
