Olympique Marseille. One of the pioneers of professional football in France, OM secured their place in history in 1993 by becoming the first French club to win the European Cup.

In Provence, people are fond of using this expression to make it clear that things had dragged on long enough; it did not escape many of them that they had to wait until the 106th European final, in 1993, to witness the first victory of a French club. OM's official site is at www.olympiquedemarseille.com |
