title: 2014–15 OGC Nice season
text: # 2014–15 OGC Nice season
  
  The 2014–15 OGC Nice season was the 110th professional season of the club since its creation in 1904.
  
  ## Players
  
  ### First team squad
  
  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.
