2016–17 Olympique de Marseille season
# 2016–17 Olympique de Marseille season

The 2016–17 Olympique de Marseille season was the 67th professional season of the club since its creation in 1899 and 21st consecutive season in the top flight.

## 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 29 January 2017.

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