history

Olympiakos SFP was founded on March 10, 1925. The members of the clubs “Piraeus Sports and Football Club” and “Piraeus Football Fan Club” spoke out in favor of the merger of the two clubs at a historic meeting in 1925. The founding members of the new association, Notis Kamperos and Michalis Manouskos, became the namesake. Notis Kamperos suggested the name Olympiakos, Michalis Manouskos, who was elected first president, completed it with the addition of Syndesmos Filathlon Peiraios. The club, which was initially founded as a football club, was followed by other departments over the years. Olympiacos grew to become one of the most successful and largest clubs in Greece, which is known beyond its national borders for several international successes.

basketball

Men's

The basketball department of Olympiacos can look back on over 80 years of tradition, which has made the club one of the largest and best-known basketball clubs in Europe thanks to a number of national and international successes. The Spanoudakis brothers were among the team's first stars in the 1950s and 1960s. With them, the club celebrated its first two Greek championships in basketball. In the 1970s and 1980s it was stars like Steve Giatzoglou and Giorgos Kastrinakis who led Olympiakos to two more championship titles and four national cup wins. In the 1990s Olympiakos finally rose to become one of the leading forces in Europe. Under start coach Giannis Ioannidis, the club won four championships in a row, secured another national cup success and twice made it to the finals of the European League , the club's most highly endowed competition in European basketball at the time. After Ioannidis had left the club, Dušan Ivković took over his post for the 1996/97 season . Despite initial difficulties, the Serb led Olympiacos to defend their title in the Greek championship and the cup competition and secured the club's first international success by winning the highest European competition, which was then renamed the Euroleague . Further national and international successes followed from 2010. The team was supported by its current star players Vasilis Spanoulis and Giorgos Printezis, among others .

Under the then club president Michalis Manouskos, some volleyball players of the club founded the first basketball team for women in 1947. This lasted until around the early 1960s, before the team was to disband again. In 1967 the first Greek championship in women's basketball started without Olympiacos. From 2010 onwards there were increasing voices in the association calling for the inactive department to be reactivated. In the summer of 2015, the board announced the resumption of a women's basketball department. As a result of the merger with the women's basketball team of the AO Helleniko and their first division license, Olympiakos was immediately eligible to play in the first division from the 2015/16 season. The women finished the main round of the season without defeat. The team set the next highlight when they entered the final Final Four tournament of the domestic cup competition. In the finals held on Lefkada , Olympiakos first defeated the women of PAOK Saloniki in the semi-finals in order to be able to celebrate their first title in the final with a victory over Panathinaikos . The women won the second title with the Greek championship. After the team remained undefeated in the playoff games, they met the women of the Panathinaikos again in the final. The 2015/16 season ended Olympiakos in both competitions without defeat. Both titles could be defended in the following season.

Men's

The club has had a volleyball department for men since 1926. By winning the city championships in 1931 and 1932, the team secured their first volleyball titles. The Panhellenic championship, which was interrupted by the Second World War, was resumed from 1960, paving the way for Olympiacos to be successful. In the 1967/68 season, both the youth division and the club's first team secured their first Panhellenic championships.

The previously often runner-up club broke the dominance of its competitors in early 2010 when the women of Olympiacos won their first title with the national cup success for the 2010/11 season. In the final held on Samos , the Olympiakos team defeated the AEK Athens women 3-2 sets. The team then defended this trophy for several years in a row and the first championship was realized for the 2012/13 season, which was also defended several times in a row. Olympiakos rose to become the dominant women's team in volleyball at the national level. In international competition, the volleyball ladies reached the final of the Challenge Cup for the 2016/17 season. Although they defeated the favored Bursa Büyüksehir Belediyespor with 3-2 sets in the first leg, but then lost with 0-3 sets in the second leg. This final was reissued a year later, this time with a happier outcome for Olympiakos, who was able to celebrate his first international title. Although the women lost the first leg with 2: 3 sets, they prevail in the second leg with 3: 1 sets. By defending the Greek championship and winning the domestic cup, the volleyball club celebrated its first triple in history,

Relatively late, with a few exceptions, independent national club competitions for women in water polo were founded in Europe . In Greece, an independent league system for women was launched for the 1987/88 season. At the same time, the LEN installed a European competition for the same season, after other national women's leagues had also been founded in the 1980s. In 1988 Olympiakos started with its own women's team, which, after having completed the necessary qualifications, was able to catch up with the first division for the 1991/92 season. The team established itself there relatively quickly and celebrated its first championship title in the 1994/95 season. This trump card made it possible for them to take part in the LEN European Cup for the first time , the club competition for women with the highest value at the time. The women of the Olympiacos managed to get into the final Final Four tournament, which they then finished in fourth place. Olympiakos then celebrated their second championship title in the 1997/98 season. In the following years, too, the women of Olympiakos always competed for the championship, but mostly lost out to the two top teams NO Vouliagmeni and ANO Glyfada , who always decided the title among themselves.

From the 1999/2000 season, the LEN hosted the Women's LEN Trophy, a second club competition in women's water polo, in the second edition of which for the 2000/01 season Olympiakos made it to the semi-finals. In 2006/07 the semi-finals were again over before the red and white women reached the final of the second highest European competition for the first time in 2007/08. There they were defeated by the Italian defending champion Racing Roma with 9:10 . For the 2008/09 season they were eliminated again in the semi-finals, while in the domestic league, behind Vouliagmeni, the main round ended in second place. In the subsequent playoffs , the city rivals Ethnikos Piraeus were eliminated in the semifinals in order to meet the first in the main round in the final. In a series of five games they defeated the women of NO Vouliagmeni and celebrated the third club title. This caught up with the city rival Ethnikos, who had also won the Greek champions three times in the past.

With the aim of defending this title, they finished the main round of the 2009/10 season in first place. The only defeat in the main round had to be accepted against the women of NO Vouliagmeni, who in turn finished second, also with only one defeat, due to the worse goal difference. The ANO Glyfada, however, had to accept relegation from the first division. In the European competition they reached the final Final Four tournament once more and in the semifinals they faced the Russian representative Kinef Kirishi . The NO Vouliagmeni and the Italian club Orizzonte Catania met in the second semi-final . A purely Greek final was denied to the spectators after the women of Olympiacos were defeated by the Russians with 11:12 goals. This success could not repeat the women's selection Kirischis against the other Greek representative in the final. After a 10: 7 victory, NO Vouliagmeni was crowned the most successful team in Europe and that for the second time in its club history. In the not yet finished Greek championship, Olympiacos defeated the women of Iraklis in the semi-finals of the playoffs , while NO Vouliagmeni had eliminated local rivals Ethnikos Piraeus. The defense of the title for Olympiakos failed after they had been beaten 3-0 to the reigning European champions, the women from Vouliagmeni.

The way to the final four of the most highly endowed European competition for the 2010/11 season ran through the women of SV Bayer Uerdingen , who had been defeated in the quarter-finals, after two legs, with 35:14 goals. With the 13:14 defeat against Orizzonte Catania, however, they missed the entry into the final, but in the small final they secured victory over Kinef Kirishi, who failed in the semifinals last year. In the domestic league, the women crowned themselves with the fourth championship in the club's history. After two further runners-up championships, the 2013/14 season reached the finals of the LEN Trophy and the domestic championship. With the victory over Firenze Pallanuoto , the women celebrated their first European success and rounded off their season with the next Greek championship, after a few days later, in the final of the playoffs of the domestic championship, their temporary rivals, the women of NO Vouliagmeni, with 3 : Defeated 2 games. Only the women of the CN Sabadell had to be beaten in the LEN Super Cup with 8: 9 goals, which for their part had previously won the highest endowed European competition, which has since been renamed the Euro League , against Vouliagmeni.

The women of the Olympiacos experienced their most successful season for the time being in the 2014/15 season. They finished the main round of the Greek championship without defeat, switched off ANO Glyfada, who had returned to the previous season, on the way to the final, in order to meet the women of Vouliagmeni again in the final. With a 3-2 series, the women defended a championship for the first time in their history. The team had already reached the final of the Euroleague a few weeks earlier. With a win over Sabadell, Olympiakos secured the highest endowed European competition. By winning the Supercup, the season ended with three titles.
