History
Founded in 1899, Olympique de Marseille — known simply as OM — are one of the most storied and passionately supported clubs in France. Playing under the historic motto Droit au But ("Straight to Goal"), Marseille have won 9 Ligue 1 titles and 10 Coupe de France trophies. Their crowning glory came in 1993, when they beat AC Milan 1–0 to become the first French club to win the UEFA Champions League — a landmark achievement that remains one of the proudest moments in French football history.
Stade Vélodrome
Marseille play their home matches at the imposing Stade Vélodrome (also known as the Orange Vélodrome), one of the largest stadiums in France with a capacity of 67,394. Opened in 1937 and famous for its soaring curved roof, the ground is powered by the relentless ultras of the Virage Nord and Virage Sud, whose non-stop noise makes it one of the most electric and intimidating atmospheres in European football. The stadium is easily reached on the Marseille Métro via Line 2 to Rond-Point du Prado.
The 2026/27 Squad
Marseille head into the 2026/27 season with a talented, ambitious squad captained by Argentine defender Leonardo Balerdi, supported by experienced vice-captain Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in midfield and France international Benjamin Pavard at the back. The attack is spearheaded by prolific England forward Mason Greenwood, the club's standout performer, alongside veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Algeria international Amine Gouiri and the pace of Brazilian winger Igor Paixão.
2026/27 Expectations
After securing a top-three finish and a return to the Champions League last season, Marseille aim to build on that momentum and confirm their place as the leading challengers to Paris Saint-Germain. The goals are clear: push for the Ligue 1 title, chase a deep run in the Coupe de France, and make the Orange Vélodrome a fortress on European nights.
Key Matches
No fixture matters more to OM fans than Le Classique against arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain — the biggest and most explosive rivalry in French football. Also worth circling are the heated clashes with southern rivals such as OGC Nice, meetings with Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco, and the unforgettable Champions League nights when Europe's elite come to the Vélodrome. These marquee games sell out the fastest, so early planning is essential.
