About 80 caravans have occupied the two main pitches of the Mouton stadium in Marseille's 11th arrondissement, blocking access for the 650 licensed members of Marseille Rugby Méditerranée. Physical training was scheduled to begin in August. Police confirmed the intrusion, which was made possible after protective boulders installed during recent municipal works were moved. Club president Augustin Marie expressed frustration over a recurring situation that threatens the club's activities and jobs. The local mayor's office has filed a complaint and is demanding a swift evacuation. On Monday, tensions near the sports complex escalated into an altercation involving a journalist, requiring additional municipal police intervention. The club's sporting calendar remains uncertain.
