Why haven't they ??? I can't believe they haven't yet. I bring it up because they just announced that a Turkish and Portuguese city will host next years Champions League and Uefa Cup final repectively. Surely Marseille can host one of these(Velodrome is big enough(60,000) but for some reason they have not thus far. I know Stade de France hosted a CL final a few years ago but now its Marseille's turn to host at least the Uefa Cup final.

The velodrome was not fit enough to host any type of final untill it was revemped 7 years ago. Maybe now they have a chance.
