Olympique de Marseille founded in 1899 also known as l'OM is a French Association Football Club based in Marseille.
Marseille's home ground is Stade Velodrome(capacity 60000) located in the southern part of the city, where they have played since 1937
Marseille's traditional kit colours were white shirts and shorts with blue socks until 1986. Since 1986, Marseille have played with white shirts, white shorts and white socks, and the blue color became lighter due to Adidas marketing. The club's current badge was adopted in 2004. The club's motto Droit Au But (French for "Straight to the Goal") appears under the badge and a star representing the victory in the Champions League is featured on the top
Marseille have been French Champions 9 Times(second only to AS Saint - Etienne's total of 10) and have won the Coupe de France a record 10 times.
The club became the 1st and only French club to win the UEFA Champions League 1992-93
In 1994, Marseille were relegated because of a bribery scandal, losing their domestic trophy, but not the UEFA Champions League Title.
In 2010, Marseille became French champions again, under the stewardship of former Club Captain Didier Deschamps
