Olympique de Marseille faces declining ticket sales ahead of PSG match

Olympique de Marseille (OM) is facing a significant decline in stadium attendance, evidenced by approximately 4,000 unsold tickets remaining for the upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This drop in interest follows a string of four consecutive defeats and has raised concerns regarding the club's financial health and brand value.

OM president Stéphane Richard acknowledged the trend, noting a slight decrease in attendance since the start of the season and describing a sense of hesitation among fans. The lack of ticket sales for a high-profile derby has also drawn mockery from PSG supporters. The current situation poses a financial risk to owner Frank McCourt, as reduced attendance impacts direct matchday revenue and hospitality spaces.
