Fans of 2011 Trophée des Champions winner Olympique Marseille had reason to proudly wave the Olympique Marseille football shirt recently, as the soccer club took a solid home ground win over fellow French Ligue 1 soccer team AC Olympique Marseille Home Shirt 2013-14Ajaccio, 3-1. Sitting in 6th in Ligue 1 current standings, a match against last-place Ajaccio provided an opportunity for l'OM, the nickname the club is often called in France, to garner much-needed points in its push to move up into one of the top-4 league slots.

With 48 points, Marseille sits about 7 points behind 4th-place St. Etienne in Ligue 1, with a football club holding the Europe League qualifying spot Olympique Marseille would dearly love to secure. Of course, fans of OM crave even more reason to parade the Olympique Marseille home shirt 2013- 14 and see the French soccer team regain the form that saw it capture 2011 Trophée des Champions honors, making it the talk of football-mad French and other soccer fans everywhere. OM soccer fan items, including complete soccer kits as well as football jerseys can be found at Soccer Box's Olympique Marseille store, with a wide variety of merchandise in stock and on hand for rapid delivery to your door before the French football club's next big match.

Olympique Marseille's Season

While somewhat off the pace in relation to Ligue 1 current standings leader Paris Saint-Germain, l'OM show promise in making a winning push for Europa League qualifying, as well as Champions League qualifying if it can close the gap between it and Ligue 1 3rd-place soccer club, Lille. If OM can really round into top form, a go at 2nd-place soccer club AS Monoco, though improbable, certainly isn't impossible with about 14 matches to contest in the league's  46-match season. Fans of the Olympique Marseille football shirt may have reason to celebrate if l'OM can stay on pace as the league's season winds down.

OM is hoping that its fans continue to stay as enthusiastic as ever when they contest matters at the football club's home ground, the 60,000-person Stade Vélodrome. The French soccer team's efforts don't go unappreciated in Marseille, naturally enough, and the support they receive is augmented by fans elsewhere eagerly tuning into league play if the wearing of the Olympique Marseille home shirt 2013- 14, seen all over the French Mediterranean coastal city, the second-largest in the country, is proof. No doubt, the French soccer club would love to have even more support gained through purchase of l'OM items such as the club's football jerseys available at Soccer Box's online merchandise store.

Actually, the overall numbers haven't been too terrible for Olympique Marseille and France's Ligue 1 is indeed the top association in the country, so competition is sometimes fierce. With a positive 43 goals for and 34 goals against, OM has been solid if not spectacular in league play to date. A 13 win, 9 draw and 10 loss campaign so far during the Olympique Marseille season also shows additional evidence of solid play, including in its goalkeeping.

Final Push for Olympique Marseille Vital for Club Fortunes

French soccer fans are passionate for the game as most European football watchers would acknowledge, and if action and demonstrations of fan devotion at Stade Vélodrome are any indication. Of course, Marseille fans expect beloved l'OM and its predominantly white home football kit to repeat their 2011 triumph each and every season. OM's coach, Jose Anigo, is hoping that 21-year-old midfielder Florian Thauvin will regain the early season form that saw him deliver several well placed goals.

If Thauvin can indeed replicate his early season success, in his first season wearing the Olympique Marseille home shirt 2013- 14 since moving from Lille, l'OM fans may indeed have a great deal to cheer about. Fans hoping to show their love of OM can find a wide variety of football jerseys as well as OM-specific football kits at the Soccer Box online football merchandise store. The young Frenchman had impressed early, but the midseason break may have taken the edge off his play, though Anigo notes Thauvin's play of late may be just what the French football club has been waiting for.

Overall, fans desiring to strut in the Olympique Marseille football shirt, crowing loudly about OM's league as well as possible postseason qualifying play, may yet have their day. There's never been a better time to root for l'OM, and to show pride in your favorite French soccer team, Marseille. Be sure to head to the Soccer Box online store for the widest selection of OM gear and fan merchandise available on the Internet.
