Marseille’s official club store looted amid unrest in France
The Ligue 1 club says the store on La Canebiere was damaged during protests over high prices and declining public services, forcing it to close temporarily.
Amid nationwide unrest in France over high living costs and deteriorating public services, Olympique de Marseille's official store on La Canebiere was targeted by looters during weekend violence. The Ligue 1 club promptly condemned the acts of violence and property damage, expressing solidarity with partner brand Puma, which operates the store.
The club imposed a ban on public gatherings and demonstrations in Marseille following the violent protests, which led to significant property damage and forced the temporary closure of the official store. Fans are still able to visit other official OM stores in the city, but the club will notify them when it's safe to reopen the Canebiere location.
Currently, Marseille sits ninth in Ligue 1 after seven matches and will face Austrian side Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday.
