The redevelopment of the Stade Vélodrome and its surrounding areas is a project that also includes the renovation of the Stade Delort stadium.

Located between the Stade Vélodrome, the entrance to the metro line to the north and the Huveaune River to the south, the arena extends over a large part of a former wastewater treatment plant.

The future Delort Stadium’s features will include:
- A rugby field with natural grass (as opposed to the synthetic turf currently in place), which meetsTOP14 and Rugby PRO D2 (top and second divisions of French rugby) competition standards
- An athletics track around the pitch
- 3 covered stands with a total capacity of 5,000 seats:

• A main stand with 2,300 seats, containing hospitality facilities, changing rooms, offices, and executive boxes with a clear and complete view of the pitch. It will be accessible via 4 different entrances: two on the west side for fans and visiting players, and two on the north side reserved for celebrities
• 2 covered, modular metal stands, one – the East stand – with a capacity of 1,200, and the other – the West stand – with 1,300

The stadium capacity could quickly be increased to hold 15,000, if necessary
- 450 parking spaces spread across two zones (east and west)

All Delort stadium activities will be managed by the City of Marseille.
