These videos feature fans of African descent sharing their personal stories, symbolizing the deep cultural connections that resonate within the club. Furthermore, a special edition of the club's 23/24 home jersey proudly showcases the OM Africa crest, serving as a tangible symbol of the bond between Marseille and the continent. With photos capturing the club's African players paying homage to their own roots, this collaboration underscores the mutual inspiration drawn from the rich tapestry of African culture, uniting players and fans alike in celebration of their shared heritage.
