Stade Velodrome is a stunning design, and the joint largest new ground to be added into FIFA 16. Marseille's home turf is bordered by four enormous stands that reach far back with far fewer seats in the corners than most typical grounds. The swooshing roof completes the dominant look and despite Marseille's inconsistent recent history, it's a ground worthy of top European competition. A 2-0 friendly win over Champions League finalists Juventus should hopefully be a good indicator of a stellar season to come on the south coast of France.
