The first time it was rugby union that was the main sport for the team The motto was Droit au, however, comes from the sport of rugby. Affiliated to the Union des Societes Francaises de Sports Athletiques (USFSA) from 1898, it wasn't until in 1902, due to English and German individuals (according according to Andre Gascard), that football was introduced in the name of Olympique de Marseille. More organized and richer than other teams in Marseille (Sporting, Stade, Phoceenne), Olympique de Marseille began being played at Stade de l'Huveaune, took the reigns within the city. It was 1904 when Olympique de Marseille won the first Championnat du Littoral, involving opposition teams of Marseille as well as its surrounding suburbs and participated in the final round in the eleventh French championship. In the era of 1904 the term "football" was used to refer to rugby and players utilized the term "Association" (which is football within North America) for football.

In during the early 1920s Olympique de Marseille became an important team in France and won three times the Coupe de France in 1924 in 1926, in 1926, and then 1927. The team also won their first French title in the year 1929 beating Club francais. In 1924, the Coupe de France in 1924 was the team's first major trophy, which it which they won against FC Sete, a side that was the dominant force in French football in the era. In the 1920s, a number of French internationals, including Jules Dewaquez, Jean Boyer or Joseph Alcazar, played for Marseille. At the end of 1930, Marseille was defeated by Sete and would later be the winner in the semi-finals. The team won the championship in 1931. won the champions of the South-East winning against opposition like Sete. Then, in the Coupe de France, l'OM lost five times to Club francais but won the next match , but the game was canceled due to the disqualification Marseille forward Vernicke. Although the 1931-32 campaign was not as productive, Marseille easily entered the professional ranks and became part of the professional union in 1932. teams in 1932. 13 January 1932, at 9:15pm, at the Brasserie des Sports, Mr. Dard, Mr. Bison and the Dr. Rollenstein, Mr. Etchepare, Mr. Leblanc, Mr. Mille, Mr. Anfosso, Mr. Sabatier, Mr. Seze, Mr. Bazat, Mr. Molteroj and Mr. Pollack elected the following committee: Honorary Presidents Paul Le Cesne and Fernand Bouisson President M. Dard Vice-Presidents: Mr. Leblanc, Mr. Bison, Mr. Etchepare, Dr. Rollenstein and Mr. Anfosso general secretary: Mr. Possel-Daydier Treasurer: Mr Bison (assisted by Mr Ribel).

The first championship Division 1 was split into two separate pools. Marseille placed second in the firstpool, ahead of Lille. For the first match during the competition, Marseille defeated the future champion, Lille. It was 1937 when Marseille took home its very first French championship due to goals-to-goals ( 30 for Marseille 17 in Sochaux). Vasconcellos' arrival Vasconcellos helped strengthen the defence and the former goalie Laurent Di Lorto shone with Sochaux and France. Meanwhile, Marseille won the Coupe de France in 1935 and 1938, but did not achieve to win a second time in 1934 because of FC Sete. The year 1938 saw Larbi Benbarek joined Marseille and was named "the the black pearl" in the Marseille team. World War II would cut his career short. The 1942-43 season was awash with records 100 goals in 30 games, including 20 goals in one game (20-2 in a match against Avignon) and in the match, Aznar recorded nine goals in the first eight (Marseille was ahead 8-0) and played just 70 minutes. Aznar had 45 goals over the course of 30 matches, and 11 goals in cup matches, which is a record for 56 goals over 38 games. Together with the minots (young players) currently in the game (Scotti, Robin, Dard, Pironti), Marseille won the cup in just two games with Bordeaux (4-0). In 1948, after an drawn match with Sochaux, Marseille became the champions of France. Two of the last wins in the Stade Velodrome against Roubaix (6-0) and Metz (6-3) were significant in that Aznar and Robin's return in the spring.

in 1952 Marseille would have been eliminated However, Gunnar Andersson saved the team by finishing as the the top scorer, scoring 31 goals. The team took the win (5-3) in aggregate against Valenciennes. In the same time, Marseille lost at the Stade Velodrome against Saint-Etienne 10-3 However, Liberati suffered a calf injury. in 1953 Gunnar Andersson was the first to break the record for goals scored in one season by scoring 35 goals. Marseille finished second during the Coupe de France (Nice won by 2-1) in 1954. Then, in the Coupe Drago in 1957 to (Lens who won 3-1). Marseille struggled in the midst of their struggles and removed to the second time since the year 1959. From 1959 to 1965 Marseille was at the bottom of the division with the exception of the 1962-63 season where they finished 20th of 20 in the premier division. The year 1965 was the time that Marcel Leclerc became president.

The initial phase of the dominance of Olympique Marseille over the French League started in the early 1970s during Marcel Leclerc's leadership (1965-1972). Leclerc's ambitions allowed Marseille to be reinstated in the First division in the year 1965-66. They won the Coupe de France in 1969 and also winning the First Division in the year 1971, with a an impressive score of 44 points from Josip Skoblar, assisted with Roger Magnusson. In the summer of 1972, Georges Carnus and Bernard Bosquier from Saint-Etienne was instrumental in their winning their first Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France in 1972. Marseille participated at the European Cup in 1971-72 and 1972-73. However, they were defeated to Ajax which was a team of Johan Cruyff and Juventus, respectively. But the success wasn't to be the last. Marcel Leclerc was forced to quit the club on the 19th of July 1972. The president was a tough man and threatened the league to remove the team he was playing professionally of Ligue 1 because the federation was not willing to take on three foreign players on each team (Leclerc desired to purchase Hungarian superstar Zoltan Varga, but he was already reached the maximum of foreign players in his squad). Marseille chose, rather than taking the same path as Leclerc and the league to dismiss the president. After that came a time of turmoil, which ended which culminated in Marseille only winning the Coupe de France in 1976 and then being dropped to second division where they were playing with the local youth players. These were The Minots which allowed Marseille back to the First Division in the year 1984. Eric Di Meco was one of them.

On the 12th of April, 1986 Bernard Tapie became president in the name of Marseille Mayor Gaston Defferre, and promptly created the most successful team in France at the time. The first players he signed included Karl-Heinz Forster and Alain Giresse and Alain Giresse, who were acquired following the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Tapie was a huge signer of highly-regarded players in the following years as he aimed to win winning the European Cup, such as Jean-Pierre Papin Chris Waddle, Klaus Allofs, Enzo Francescoli, Abedi Pele, Didier Deschamps, Basile Boli, Marcel Desailly, Rudi Voller, Tony Cascarino and Eric Cantona and also selecting coaches with a high profile like Franz Beckenbauer, Gerard Gili and Raymond Goethals. From 1989 to 1992, Olympique de Marseille won four league titles consecutively as well as the French Cup. They also made it to the Champions Cup final for the first time in 1991, but lost in penalties against Red Star Belgrade. The most memorable moment in the club's time is the fact that they won the new model Champions League in 1993. Basile Boli scored the only goal against Italy's Milan in the final that was held at Munich's Olympic Stadium. This was the first ever for an French club and resulted in Didier Deschamps as well as Fabien Barthez the youngest goalkeeper and captain, respectively, to take home the distinction of the.

The triumph was immediately followed by a decade-long decline. In 1994, because of the financial irregularities and a match fixing scandal that involved the president at the time, Bernard Tapie, they suffered an enforced relegation into the second division, which Marseille was able to stay for two years, before being relegated in the first division. Additionally they were stripped of the 1992-1993 Division 1 title and the ability to participate during the 1993-1994 UEFA Champions League, the 1993 European Super Cup and the 1993 Intercontinental Cup. The scandal, known as the affaire VA-OM (VA is for Union Sportsive Valenciennes - Anzin in addition to OM to represent Olympique de Marseille), was reported by Valenciennes team members Jacques Glassmann, Jorge Burruchaga and Christophe Robert were contacted by Marseille player Jean-Jacques Eydelie . He advised them to allow OM triumph and, most importantly, to not harm any OM player prior to finals of the UEFA Champions League final.

Marseille made it back to top of the heap in 1996, with the backing of Adidas's Director of Operations Robert Louis-Dreyfus. He picked Rolland Courbis as his coach. He also hired Fabrizio Ravanelli Laurent Blanc, and Andreas Kopke, and Marseille was 11th when he returned. The 1998-99 season was a time when Marseille commemorated their centennial and put together the team of superstars: Robert Pires, Florian Maurice along with Christophe Dugarry, culminating in finishing second in the French championship, just behind Bordeaux and a spot to the UEFA Cup Final in 1999 and losing to Parma. Courbis was dismissed from the team in the month of November following a disappointing beginning into the year.

The closest Marseille had to winning a award was the time they made it to their first UEFA Cup Final in 2004 with a stunning victory over Dnipro, Internazionale, Liverpool as well as Newcastle United along the way. However, they were eliminated at the end by newly-crowned Spanish champions Valencia and fans were left looking forward to the following trophy be announced. As of 2005, Marseille was successful in winning the Intertoto Cup, beating the likes of Lazio and Deportivo de La Coruna in winning it, and also getting another chance at winning the UEFA Cup.

In January 2007, there was a meeting with Louis-Dreyfus as well as Jack Kachkar, a Canadian doctor and businessman (CEO of the pharmaceutical company Inyx) regarding the sale of the team. Since Jack Kachkar took too much time to purchase the club, Louis-Dreyfus opted 22 March 2007 to not sell the club to Jack Kachkar. Canadian businessman. Another chance to win was during the Coupe de France final against Sochaux in May 2007. They lost by penalty after a draw of 2-2 after extra time, much to the dismay of everyone associated to the club. However, they soon erased all frustration away by qualifying for 2007/08's UEFA Champions League group stage after they secured second place with just one game left.

The Champions League, Marseille became the first French team to be victorious at Anfield after they defeated 2007 runners-up Liverpool by a score of 1-0. The team scored six of six points in the first two matches. They only had one draw in their game, and in the final group game that was a winner-takes-all, they were defeated 4-0 by Liverpool which were one of the first English team to beat Liverpool in Anfield's Stade Velodrome. Marseille came second in Champions League Group A, later joined with the UEFA Cup. 17 Marseille ended their 2008-09 campaign with a second place finish in Ligue 1, following a battle against Bordeaux to win the title. They were able to gain entry into the groups in the UEFA Champions League, their third consecutive year in the tournament. Marseille took home this year's Coupe de la Ligue Final defeating Bordeaux by 3-1 in the Stade de France in March 2010. It is their first significant victory following they won their Champions League triumph 17 years earlier. The following month, Marseille won their first league title in 18 years, with just two games left after beating Rennes 3-1. Marseille defeated their arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on penalties to take home the 2010 Trophee of Champions in Stade 7 Novembre in Rades, Tunisia, before the season started. Marseille was an unprecedented team in history to achieve two consecutive Coupe de la Ligue successes by winning the 2011 edition, beating Montpellier with a 1-0 win on April 23rd. Then, they were able to qualify for the final 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since their historic win in the first round, but fell the game 2-1 at Old Trafford to Manchester United and made an Champions League record by thrashing Zilina 7-0 to win the biggest win for an away team in the history of the competition. In 2011 Marseille were unable to win their Ligue 1 championship title but was able to qualify for UEFA Champions League for the fifth time in succession and set a record at the club. On July 27, 2011 Marseille took home the Trophee of Champions title defeating Lille 5-4 at the Stade de Tanger in Morocco. This was an important win because OM were down 3-1 in the final five minutes but then embarked on an amazing comeback, which included five goals within the final five minutes. The game ended with Andre Ayew scoring a hat-trick.

The club had a difficult time during 2012-2013, falling to the lowest position on the Ligue 1 table after six games. But, Marseille rebounded, winning three-to-three over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in addition to winning 3-0 against their rivals PSG on November 1st of the same year. Marseille concluded 2011 with a great run as well as qualifying for knockout rounds in the Champions League for the second season in a row.

The month of February, 2012 saw Marseille went through 13 matches without a win However, the club rallied to make it into the quarter-finals in the Champions League for the first time since winning the tournament in 1993. Despite their poor form, OM lost to eventual finalist Bayern Munich, and slumped to a 10th-place position on Ligue 1. But the club was able to retain their place in the Coupe de la Ligue for the third time in a row winning 1-0 against Lyon by a goal in the final.

At the end of summer 2012, Deschamps was forced to quit and then took over the France post. Elie Baup was appointed in his place, taking the team to a stunning second-place finishing in the 2012-13 campaign despite selling key players which included Loic Remy Cesar Azpilicueta, and Stephane Mbia. Marseille were back in the Champions League, spending close to EUR40 million for the likes that of Dimitri Payet, Florian Thauvin and Giannelli Imbula. Marseille was in the top spot at the final day of August 2013, however OM was unable to win every single game in Europe and suffered the shame of being one of the few French team, and also the largest European team to date to not have scored any points in the Champions League group stage.

Baup was dismissed on December 7, 2013 following the 1-0 defeat against Nantes at the Stade Velodrome. Baup was substituted on a temporary basis with Jose Anigo. In the short time Anigo was in charge, OM went out of the two cups and was unable to win, resulting in constant protests and jeers from supporters. The club was sixth in 2014 but missed an crucial European tournament to the first time for 10 years. Anigo left the club soon after, taking on an ambassadorial/scouting role in North Africa, his first post outside of the city for more than four decades.

Marseille announced on May 2nd 2014 that it had reached an deal with Marcelo Bielsa, who was appointed the role of manager. Bielsa was the first Argentine coach and was the first coach to take the team to the newly renovated Velodrome which was inaugurated in August, with a match against Montpellier. In his first season as coach, the club was top of the league for seven months, but it was fourth in the league and could have qualified to play in the UEFA Europa League. In June, 2015, three key players leave the club. André-Pierre Gignac as well Andre Ayew left the club for Tigres UNL in addition to Swansea City, respectively, when their contracts ran out and Dimitri Payet left to join West Ham United for a EUR15 million transfer cost.

After a successful pre-season that included a 2-0 victory against Juventus at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus Trophy and the signing on nine of the players Bielsa quit his position shortly after playing the opening Ligue 1 game of the season 2015-16 against Caen. Marseille lost the match with a score of 1-0. Bielsa stunned the world of football by his sudden decision due to a distrust of the management of the club, who claimed to have reneged on an agreement to extend his contract. Bielsa's departure is said to have caused his players to be in shock. A lot of them learned of the news through social media while in the locker room.

On 19 August 2015 Michel was named the new Marseille coach. He had a difficult season which saw OM not winning a home match at home in Ligue 1 for more than six months. After a string of disappointing performance, Michel was sacked in April by the club's manager Margarita Louis Dreyfus for his performance as coach of the team. The decision was made just prior to the team's Coupe de France semi-final fixture. In 2015., Passi became the interim coach. Under his leadership, Marseille reached the Coupe de France final for the first time in nine years, but lost 4-2 to the their arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain. OM finished the season on 13th place which was the lowest league finish in the last 15 years.

Marseille started with the 2016-2017 Ligue 1 season with interim manager Franck Passi in charge. On August 29, 2016 the club announced the news that American billionaire Frank McCourt had agreed to purchase the team from Margarita Louis-Dreyfus. The deal was signed with a reported cost in the region of EUR45 million on October 17, 2016. In the following hours, McCourt appointed Jacques-Henri Eyraud as the club's president. Rudi Garcia as manager of the club's initial team, and Andoni Zubizarreta as director of sport.

On May 3, 2018 Marseille got to finals in the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League after eliminating Red Bull Salzburg in the semi-finals by a score of 3-2 14 years after the final appearance in an European competition back in 2004 , against Valencia. But they fell in at the end against Atletico Madrid.

For the 2019-20 Ligue 1 season, Andre Villas-Boas was appointed the head coach. Marseille placed second in the league following the season's end earlier due to the outbreak of coronavirus which meant that they qualified for 2020-21 UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2013-14.

On February 20, 2021 following the loss streak and conflicts with players and the lack of support from the sporting director Pablo Longoria and President Jacques-Henri Eyraud the head coach, Andre Villas Boas offered to step down within three days of an unruly riot by angry Marseille fans at the team's training facilities had forced the postponement of a match against Rennes. Marseille fired Villas-Boas, and substituted the coach in the form of Argentine Jorge Sampaoli. The club also named Pablo Longoria to be the team's president, replacing Jacques-Henri Eyraud, as Eyraud was also a victim of the anger of Marseille supporters.

Then, in January of 2022 Marseille players Pape Gueye was barred from playing for four months by FIFA and Marseille were imposed a ban from making transfers both in the January 2022 and summer 2022 the 2023 transfer window and were required to hand over EUR2.5 millions to Watford. This was following the English club sued Marseille regarding their transfer to Gueye who initially signed the contract with Watford however, after discovering that his agent been lying to him about the amount of money offered, he ended the contract and agreed to sign with Marseille. Marseille appealed FIFA's decision. For the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season, Marseille ended up in second place which secured Champions League football for the first time since the 2020 season. On the final day of play they were aided in equalizing goals by Lens in final minutes of a 2-2 draw against Monaco.

Le Classique is a football game played in between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille. The name Classique is a reference to El Clasico, contested between Barcelona and Real Madrid. As with all principal rivalries, the animosity of PSG as well as Marseille extends beyond the field. The French classico is a game with a historic social, cultural, and political significance that gives it more significance than football, pitting the capital against provincial, as well as the rich tradition and high-culture in Paris against the cosmopolitan and industrial traditions of Marseille. The rivalry is evident only in the 90s and is promoted by the owners of PSG as well as Canal , the TV channel that broadcasts Ligue 1 football matches - and Olympique de Marseile - Bernard Tapie and also the owner of the sports organization Adidas which is due to obvious reasons for marketing. The rivalry is often referred to as the "favourite son" for French soccer against the awfuls. With PSG being situated in the north of the French capital city and Marseille located on the Mediterranean coastline The rivalry is frequently described as "the North versus the South." PSG along with Marseille are two of only three French clubs that have won significant European prizes, PSG having won the UEFA Cup Winners' Trophy in 1996. Marseille was the winner of the UEFA Champions League in 1993 as well. They were the two major players before the advent of Lyon in the early years in the 20th century. But, despite recent struggles, PSG and Marseille remain strong rivals and create a the game a special feel. "Le Classicique" is also called "Le Classico".

From 1904 until 1937 Marseille played from 1904 to 1937 at between 1904 and 1937 at Stade de l'Huveaune, a stadium that was owned by the club as opposed to the current stadium. L'Huveaune was once called Stade Fernand Buisson to honor an ex-player of the club, who later became an elected membre of the French National Assembly, was revamped at the beginning of the 20th century due to the financial assistance of supporters. It was able to hold 15,000. In 1937, the club moved to the larger Stade Velodrome after compelling the city of Marseille to cut the cost of renting. The club used its home stadium, the Stade de l'Huveaune again during the reconstruction of the Velodrome to host Euro 1984, during the 1982/83 season. The Velodrome had a second redevelopment process prior to in 1998's World Cup and was transformed into a massive stadium consisting with two Curva ends (Virage Nord and Virage Sud Virage Sud - North Curve and South Curve) that house the supporter groups, as in addition to The main stage, Jean Bouin, and the huge Ganay stand. A third overhaul was completed to prepare in preparation for Euro 2016, the municipality covered the stands with a roof and increased the capacity to 67,000 in order to host events like the Euro 2016 games.

At the beginning of every home game , the tune "Jump" from Van Halen is played. If an score is made by Marseille in home matches they play the tune "Come to Me" from Puff Daddy is heard.

Marseille's original kit colors included white shirts and shorts with blue socks up to 1986. In 1986 Marseille are playing with white shorts, white shirts as well as white socks. Eventually, the blue color changed because of Adidas marketing. However, in 2012 and 2013 the team returned to its traditional kit and blue socks.

The club's the club's founder Rene Dufaure de Montmirail drew inspiration from his personal seal with an interlaced letter "D" as well as "M" and created the first badge of the club. The motto of the club, "Droit au but" was coined in the early days that the main sport played by the club was rugby under its name "Football Club of Marseille". The original badge had an elaborate letter "M" placed over an "O" and the club's motto draped across the graphic. The logo remained in use for three years, and was last used in 1935 when the artwork deco-inspired shield was introduced and featured the simple "M" that was enclosed in the "O". The logo was changed in 1972. OM changed its branding and this time, it was a complicated "M" lettershape. The club in 1986 changed its original badge. The logo changed little over the next years, and it was given an eagle in 1993 to celebrate its UEFA Champions League trophy. In celebration of its 100th birthday, in 1999, an alternate with a gold "O" and an aqua "M" was chosen and a similar 110th anniversary logo was also used during the 2009-2010 season. The most current version was announced on 17 February 2004 The "O" as well as the "M" are created as a single unit in turquoise , without borders or shading. the logo is capped with the golden star that represents the triumph during the Champions League and sits above. Club's motto Droit Au But (French for "Straight to the Goal") as well as the motto in gold is displayed under the badge.

The atmosphere of the Stade Velodrome is created by the dominance of OM's supporters, who live within the curva-style in the middle of both goals. North Curve North Curve is home to the Marseille Trop Puissant, Fanatics and Dodger's supporters' associations that purchase tickets at the beginning of each season , and then offer them for their membership. Virage Nord is located next to the away enclosure. Virage Nord is situated next to the away enclosure that is secured by fences that are high. In 2002 Virage Nord was officially named in 2002. Virage Nord was named Patrice De Peretti (1972-2000) who was the late leader and founder of the group that backed Marseille Trop Puissant (MTP). In 2010 The third dress code of OM was tribute to MTP which featured the yellow, red and green colors of Africa and the emblems of the left-wing curva. In 2018, the owner Frank McCourt and president Jacques-Henri Eyraud made the decision to exclude their association with the Yankee Nord due to a range of illegal actions particularly with regards to tickets ; They also prohibited them from sell those tickets and the organization is not recognized officially from the organization.

The virage's name comes from Nicolas Roze, a noble who distinguished himself by establishing an institution within Marseille in the Great Plague in Marseille around 1720. Like the Virage Nord as well, it is the same with the South Curve. South Curve is governed by the supporter's association and the Commando Ultra '84 The first ultra supporters group in France established in August 1984. It is dominated by that of the South Winners dominating the central section as well as the Club Central des Supporters filling the rest of the stadium. The shirt that was worn in 2007/08 by the third team of OM was an ode to South Winners fans whose colours are orange, since they are usually left-wing supporters.
