Jacques Glassmann (born July 22, 1962 in Mulhouse) is a former footballer from France.
He is famous for having revealed the bribery scandal (called Affaire VA-OM) involving Olympique de Marseille and his team US Valenciennes. He and teammates, Jorge Burruchaga and Christophe Robert were contacted by OM player Jean-Jacques Eydelie, in order to let l'OM win and, more importantly, not to injure any OM player ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.
He was later considered as a traitor by French supporters.
He was eventually awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award in 1995 for having revealed this bribery scandal.
