Bernard Tapie's body will pass through the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille for his last trip.

“Thursday October 7 from 4 pm to 8 pm, the coffin of the former president of the club, Bernard Tapie, who died last Sunday, will be placed in hall 1 of the Orange Vélodrome in the presence of his family,” explains OM in a statement.

His coffin should be carried by supporters to the Velodrome stadium.

All Marseillais who wish it, will be able to meditate one last time.

The next morning, a religious ceremony will be held at 11 am at La Major Cathedral, before a burial in the Mazargues cemetery.

Bernard Tapie died last Sunday from cancer.

The same day, a portrait of it was installed on the forecourt of the stadium so that the Marseillais can meditate.

A condolence register has also been opened.
