Stade Marseillais Université Club Handball, often just called SMUC Marseille, is a team handball club from Marseille, France. Currently, SMUC Marseille competes in the French First League of Handball.
Between 1989 and 1996 the team was called OM Vitrolles, and acted as a part of the broader sports club Olympique de Marseille and was economically supported by them. When Olympique de Marsille was involved in the bribing scandal Affaire VA-OM, it affected the handball team, and the players began to strike, as they were not getting paid.[2] The team was administratively relegated to the French third tier in 1996, as they could not pay there 3 million Franc debt. Afterwards the team returned to be Stade Marseillais Université Club Handball again.[3][4]
