Olympique de Marseille History
|
|
Olympique de Marseille is a
football team that plays in Ligue 1, the top level of the French
Football League, based in Marseille. Founded in 1899, Marseille
has won 9 French championships and 10 French Cups. The club also
won the Champions League in 1993, defeating AC Milan in the
final, only to be stripped of the domestic title that they had
won in the same season following a match fixing scandal
involving then president Bernard Tapie. In 1994, they suffered
forced relegation to the second division due to financial
irregularities. By 1996, backed by Adidas boss Robert Louis-Dreyfus,
the club had worked their way back to the top flight. The team
regularly fills their imposing home of the Stade Vélodrome,
which seats 60,000. |
