The 2014–15 Olympique de Marseille season is the 65th professional season of the club since its creation in 1899 and 19th consecutive season in the top flight.

This will be the first season in ten years that Marseille will not be participating in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, having finished sixth in the 2013–14 Ligue 1 season. The club will be coached by legendary Argentine tactician Marcelo Bielsa, who signed a two-year contract in May 2014.

This will also be the first season in which the side will play at the renovated Stade Vélodrome, with the stadium having completed renovations which took place over the last three years. Capacity will be up to 67,000 - from 48,000 last season, and 42,000 the season before. The stadium is rated five-star by UEFA, and will be used ahead of UEFA Euro 2016.

Players

Main article: List of Olympique de Marseille players
For a list of all former and current Olympique de Marseille players, see Category:Olympique de Marseille players.

French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.

Current squad

As of 15 July 2014.[1]

Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.

  1. ^ Since winners of the 2014–15 Coupe de la Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain, qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the Coupe de la Ligue winner (Europa League third qualifying round) is passed to the next best team in the table not already qualified for any European competition (in this case, the fifth-placed team).
