2014–15 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season
# 2014–15 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season

The 2014–15 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season was the 134th professional season of the club since its creation in 1881. During the campaign, the club competed in Ligue 1, the top level of French football, along with the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue.

## Players

### First team squad

As of 30 May 2015

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.

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