Pre-season and friendlies

Marseille starts its 2010–2011 season with a five-game preparation program, spread over July and August, before the start of official competitions. The scheduled match on 24 July against Porto was canceled and replaced by an encounter with Valencia, as well as Catania. On 1 August, there was a tribute to Robert Louis-Dreyfus in a game at the Stade Vélodrome against Valencia. It is also proposed to extend this type of game all year. On 3 September, Marseille have planned to face Ajaccio in the challenge Michael Moretti, won by the Ajaccio at the beginning of the 2008–09 season.
