Olympique de Marseille is a football team that plays in Ligue 1, the top level of the French Football League, based in Marseille. Founded in 1899, Marseille has won 9 French championships and 10 French Cups. The club also won the Champions League in 1993, defeating A.C. Milan in the final, only to be stripped of the domestic title that they had won in the same season following a match fixing scandal involving then president Bernard Tapie. Recently, Marseille succeeded in winning the 2005 Intertoto Cup, beating the likes of SS Lazio and Deportivo La Coruna in doing so, and earning another shot at the UEFA Cup. In their recent seasons back in Ligue 1, Marseille have been beaten regulary by rival teams such as Lyon, Monaco and Paris Saint Germain, as chances for a title appear to be growing ever slimmer. With a nightmare start to the 2005/06 Ligue 1 season, it looks like Marseille's title challenge has gone once again for another year.
