Martigues

FC Martigues are a club with a fascinating history and a distinctive red and yellow identity, based in the port town of Martigues in the Provence region of southern France, not far from Marseille. Founded in 1921, Martigues achieved their finest hour in 1993 when they won promotion to the French first division and held their own in the top flight for three seasons. After a long absence from professional football, the club won promotion back to Ligue 2 in 2024, completing a 22-year journey back to the second tier. Founded in 1921, FC Martigues play at the Stade Francis-Turcan (capacity around 11,500) in Martigues, Bouches-du-Rhone, France. They compete in Ligue 2. Key achievements include three seasons in the French first division from 1993 to 1996 and promotion back to Ligue 2 in 2024. Their colours are red and yellow, known as Sang et Or (Blood and Gold). FC Martigues' red and yellow kits carry the proud colours of Provence and have been worn through the club's proudest moments in French football. The shirts from their first division era in the mid-1990s, when a club from a small Mediterranean port town competed against the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille, are precious pieces for supporters. The 2023-24 promotion season kits, worn during the campaign that ended a 22-year absence from the professional game, represent a new chapter in Martigues' story.
