Robert Louis-Dreyfus Trophy

1

The Robert Louis-Dreyfus Trophy (French: Trophée Robert Louis-Dreyfus) was a summer tournament hosted by Olympique de Marseille in dedication to Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a majority shareholder of the French football team, who died on July 4, 2009, following a long battle with leukemia. The inaugural competition took place in 2010 where Marseille were joined by Valencia CF. The second and final edition was played on August 1, 2015, against Juventus. The competition did not take place between 2011 and 2014 because of the ongoing renovations to the Stade Vélodrome. The tournament was discontinued after two editions.
