The Olympian DNA

Founded in 1899, Olympique de Marseille embodies the Mediterranean soul in its purest form. We are the children of the Vélodrome — this cathedral of 67,394 voices where the most beautiful anthems of France echo — carrying for 126 years the blue and white colors as the banner of an entire people. This Marseille identity, forged in working-class neighborhoods and nourished by the winds of the sea, symbolizes a unique ability to transcend social divides through unconditional love for the shirt.
