Marseille history

Olympique de Marseille, or OM, ranks among the best-loved clubs in France and has often led the country in average attendance. Its long-running rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain goes by the name Le Classique.

Only PSG has won more trophies in France. Marseille counts 29 in total, 28 of them major titles, and 26 domestic honors: nine league titles, ten Coupes de France, three Coupes de la Ligue, three Trophées des Champions, one Ligue 2 title and one Coupe Charles Drago. The proudest moment came in 1993, when OM won the Champions League, the first French club to do so and one of only two French sides with a major European crown. The 2005 Intertoto Cup added a second continental trophy, while final defeats came in the 1991 European Cup and the UEFA Cup or Europa League in 1999, 2004 and 2018. American businessman Frank McCourt bought 95% of the club in 2016.
