The team Olympique de Marseille was founded in 1899 in Marseille. The club is the most successful club in France since it is so far the only French team to have won the UEFA Champions League and have eight French championships. Due to some financial irregularities the club was relegated in 1994 and since then it has not won any other major title even though the club came back to Ligue 1 in 1996.
Throughout their history, Marseille has achieved many important titles and it has appeared in 59 seasons at the Ligue 1, winning 904 games, losing 650 and tying 521. At Ligue 2, the club has played in 12 seasons with a record of 206-112.
