The Stade Francis-Turcan is a football stadium in Martigues , Bouches-du-Rhône in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southern France . The home team is FC Martigues . It is named after the former mayor of Martigues Francis Turcan (1912–1968).
At first the stadium had only one grandstand, called Paradis , and a capacity of 3,000 seats. FC Martigues rose to the French premier league in 1993 and the venue was renovated and expanded. The three uncovered spectator tiers Canal , East Stand and the West Stand intended for guests were added and the capacity increased to 11,500 spectators.
