As tradition dictates, in the hours before the Orange Vélodrome match, Olympique de Marseille executives and ambassadors exchanged pleasantries with their Atalanta counterparts and the UEFA delegate for the customary “Fair-Play meeting” between the two teams.

Chaperoned by UEFA Delegate Alex Miescher, the vis–à–vis saw President Pablo Longoria; CFO Aban Juster; Secretary General and Football Administration Benjamin Arnaud; Director of Communications Franckie Tourdre; Commercial Director Grégory La Mela; Football Operations Director Eugene Koshelev; Ambassadors Jean-Pierre Papin and Basile Boli and former OM player Fabrizio Ravanelli do the hosts’ honours for Olympique de Marseille.

On Atalanta’s behalf, the event was attended by CEO Luca Percassi, Stefano Percassi, Commercial and Marketing Director Romano Zanforlin and Secretary General Marco Semprini.
