A Bit of History Olympiacos was founded on March 10, 1925, when the members of the "Piraeus Football Club" and the "Piraeus Fan Club" decided, during a historical assembly, to dissolve the two clubs in order to establish a new unified one. Notis Kamberos announced the name "Olympiacos" and Michalis Manouskos completed it to its full name, "Olympiacos Fan Club of Piraeus". The players of the newly founded Olympiacos were excellent. The Andrianopoulos brothers, however, were those who significantly raised the reputation of the club and added glory to it. Children of a prosperous family, they made the name of Olympiacos known all over Greece. Yiannis, Dinos, Yorgos, and Vassilis were the first to play. Leonidas made his appearance later on, while Stelios played for a short time. The club's offensive line, made up of the five brothers, soon became legendary and, hence, Olympiacos is also known as Thrilos (Legend). The team's emblem is a laurel-wreath-crowned-teenager. March 10 is the 69th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (70th in Leap years). ...
Olympiacos immediately caught the attention of locals, with the team filling the Piraeus Velodrome (now the Karaiskakis stadium); their fanbase consisted mainly of the working class.
Football Club With an outstanding 33 national championships in 69 seasons, no Greek team has been as successful as Olympiacos in this area. According to the current (March 2006) world club ranking of the International Federation of Football and Statistics, Olympiacos is No. 47 in the World. (AEK is No.118 and Panathinaikos is No.126).

History
National History In 1926 the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) was founded and in 1927 tried to organize the first Greek Championship. However in that season Olympiacos came to a dispute with the Hellenic Football Federation and did not participate. The Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) (Greek: ΕΛΛΗÎΙΚΗ ΠΟΔΟΣΦΑΙΡΙΚΗ ΟΜΟΣΠΟÎΔΙΑ) is the governing body of football in Greece. ...
Alpha Ethniki ...
Panathinaikos and AEK Athens FC decided to follow Olympiacos and together they formed a group called P.O.K.. During that season they played fiendly games with each other. The second Greek Championship took place in 1929/30 only with three teams (the champions of the local leagues of Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki). In 1927 Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens FC did not participate in the Greek Championship and decided to form a group called P.O.K. and during that season they played friendly games with each other. ...

To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
From the season 1930/31 (which started in January of 1931) and on, the best teams from the country finally participated. Olympiacos won the Greek Championship for the first time in that season. 1931 (MCMXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday (link is to a full 1931 calendar). ...
In 1940 Olympiacos had already 6 Championships in 11 seasons and by 1960 he had won 15 Championships in 23 Seasons as well as 9 Cups making for 6 Doubles. In fact, with key performers such as Andreas Mouratis, Elias Rossidis, Thanassis Bebis, Elias Yfantis, Kostas Polychroniou, Giorgos Darivas and Savas Theodoridis, Olympiacos won six consecutive titles from 1953/54 to 1958/59.
It is worth mentioning that Olympiacos for several seasons was not allowed to make use of the Karaiskaki Stadium and, with permission from Panathinaikos, found a temporary home in “Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium”. The Karaiskaki Stadium is located near Piraeus in the Faliro area of Athens, Greece. ...
The 60s and the early 70s were not as fruitful for Olympiacos, the club having won just 5 Championships and 8 Cups.
Another glorious chapter began in 1972, after Nikos Goulandris became president. He appointed Lakis Petropoulos as coach and signed star players Giorgos Delikaris, Yves Triantafyllos, Julio Losada, Milton Viera and Dimitris Persidis. The highlight for that side was the 1973/74 season, when Olympiacos won the league with record points (59) and goals (102).
Olympiacos experienced its darkest days from the mid-1980s until the mid-90s. In the mid 80s Olympiakos came into the hands of Greek businessman George Koskotas. Soon Koskotas was accused of and convicted for embezzlement, leaving Olympiacos deep in debt. On the pitch, the team without a serious management went nine seasons without a league title (1986/87 to 1996/97).
The situation improved after Socrates Kokkalis took over Olympiacos's shares in 1993. Having agreed to a settlement of the club's debts with the Greek government, Kokkalis slowly resurrected the team. Socaris Kokkalis is a Greek businessman. ...
In 1996 Kokkalis appointed Dusan Bajevic, who had just left AEK Athens FC following a clash with the management team regarding financial issues and uncertainty. The same season Kokkalis signed for the reds all the young talents he could find in the Greek market, such as Predrag Djorgevic, Grigoris Georgatos, Stelios Giannakopoulos, Giorgos Anatolakis, Dimitris Mavrogenidis, Alexis Alexandris, Giorgos Amanatidis, Andreas Niniadis. Most of these still play for Olympiacos today. Starting then, Olympiacos won seven consecutive Championships (beating their own record of 6), even after Bajevic had left in 1999. AEK Athens FC is the football club of the Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, or in English the Athletic Union of Constantinople (AEK). ...
In the 2003/04 season, Olympiacos finished second.
Last season (2004/05) Olympiacos appointed again Dusan Bajevic and transferred World Champion Brazilian Rivaldo. The end of the season found Olympiacos with both domestic trophies (Championship and the Greek Cup) but without their manager Dusan Bajevic, as he resigned. Rivaldo, full name Vitor Borba Ferreira, (born April 19, 1972 in Recife, Pernambuco) is a Brazilian Football (soccer) player. ...
Therefore Olympiacos appointed Trond Sollied.
Trond Sollied (born 29 April 1959) is a Norwegian Football coach and manager. ...
As of March 10th 2006, Olympiacos is first in the Greek league standings by 12 points. Their arch-rival Panathinaikos is currently placed 3rd and 12 points back, tied with AEK after a 1-0 win over the latter. During the season 2005/06, Olympiakos achieved to win all the 4 derbies against its major rivals, Panathinaikos and AEK, something only achieved once more, during the season 1972/73. March 10 is the 69th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (70th in Leap years). ...
2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
European Campaigns Despite their unrivalled domestic domination, Olympiacos consistently are yet to impress well at European level. The mere thought that arch-rivals Panathinaikos FC have a stronger record in UEFA club competition (having played in one European Champion Clubs' Cup final and three European Cup or UEFA Champions League semi-finals), makes them desperate for glory on the continental stage. Champions League Logo European Champion Clubs Cup The UEFA Champions League is an annual international inter-club football competition for Europes most successful clubs. ...
Olympiacos's best moments at this level came with appearances in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals - where they lost to Club Atlético de Madrid - and in the last eight of the 1998/99 Champions League, when Juventus FC beat them. The UEFA Cup Winners Cup was a football club competition between the winners of the European domestic cup competitions. ...
Club Atlético de Madrid is a Spanish football club from Madrid. ...
The Season 1998-99 of the European UEFA Champions League football club tournament was won by Manchester United, coming back from a goal in two minutes to Bayern Munich. ...
The reason for this lies undoubtedly in the team’s inability to win matches outside of Greece. Amazingly, after appearing in the UEFA Champions League for 9 straight years, Olympiacos has yet to win an away match, which is usually isn’t enough for qualification but it has produced two remarkable campaigns.
In 1998-1999, last Olympiacos was drawn in Group A for the UEFA Champions League, along with Ajax Amsterdam, FC Porto and Dinamo Zagreb “Thrylos” typically won all 3 home games, but also managed to secure 2 away draws and a ticket to the quarter-finals.

There they met Juventus F.C.. In the first leg at Delle Alpi, Juventus beat Olympiacos 2-1 which meant that Olympiacos only needed a 1-0 victory to proceed to the semi-finals. A vintage performance, scoring early with Sinisa Gogic and never allowing their opponents to create chances, was 5 minutes away to making that scenario come true. Dimitris Eleftheropoulos, Olympiacos’ goalkeeper, however, misjudged the flight of the ball in a seemingly harmless cross and Juventus had the last laugh and escaped with a 1-1 draw, which was the beginning of the “Late-Goal Curse” that superstitious supporters firmly believe hangs upon the team, especially in away matches. Juventus Football Club (Latin for Youth, pronounced ) is one of Italys oldest and greatest football clubs, based in Turin, Piedmont, and it competes in Serie A. It is widely regarded as one of the most supported and sucessful football clubs in the world. ...
The Stadio Delle Alpi is a football stadium in the Italian city of Turin. ...
Olympiacos’ supporters couldn’t believe how they fumbled such a huge opportunity to play in the semi-finals and even though they recognized Eleftheropoulos’ efforts up to that point, great efforts that won him the UEFA Champions Leagu Goalkeeper of the Competition even, they still held him responsible for the disqualification and to this day there is no conversation about the ’98-’99 campaign without a mention of the keeper’s error.
Arguably the most impressive incident supporting this folklore tale is the 2001-2002 UEFA Champions League away match against Deportivo de La Coruña, where Olympiacos managed to turn the game around and led 1-2 from 1-0, when, literally in the last seconds, with the referee ready to whistle for full-time, Eleftheropoulos miscommunicated with his centre-back in another innocent lob and gave away an easy, as unlikely, goal to the opposition forward for the final 2-2 draw. The season 2001-02 of the European UEFA Champions League football club tournament was won by Real Madrid. ...

In 2004-2005 Olympiacos was drawn in Group A once again, this time against Liverpool FC, AS Monaco FC and Deportivo. Rivaldo made an inspiring debut for Olympiacos, in Spain against his former Spanish team Deportivo but “Thrylos” only managed to get a draw. The team predictably won all three home games in the freshly renovated Georgios Karaïskákis Stadium, notably with the same score, 1-0, meanwhile losing 2-1 away against AS Monaco. The season 2004-05 of the European UEFA Champions League football club tournament was won by Liverpool F.C. in a dramatic final against AC Milan. ...

With one match to go and in a very bizarre combination of results, Olympiacos were in danger of being one of only 2 teams that have managed to collect 10 points and not qualify for the next round. They went to Anfield to play the last match against Liverpool FC and in order to progress they had either to not lose, or to score and not lose by more than one goal. Anfield, aerial view Anfield, view from Kop end Anfield is a football stadium in the district of Anfield, in Liverpool, England. ...
Rivaldo that turned back the years to show the capacity crowd why he was named European Footballer of the Year in 1999. He opened the score with a foul for the 0-1 Olympiacos lead, which was the Half time result. Despite that Olympiacos needed to receive three goals in the second half to be eliminated, Liverpool achieved to score those three goals (3-1) which marked the premature end of yet another Olympiacos UEFA Champions Leaguen Campaign. Liverpool FC were the ones to progress and they, incidentally, went on to actually lift the trophy, producing a similar display in the final.

Olympiacos’ 2004-2005 European effort didn’t end there however, as they were seeded to continue in the UEFA Cup. They were drawn against French team FC Sochaux for the round of 32 and proceeded thanks to 2 more 1-0 victories. In the round of sixteen they faced Newcastle United and were easily eliminated with two losses, thus putting an end to the club’s second most successful European Campaign.

The same year they played against Chicago Bulls and it was a game between the European Champion and the NBA Champion. Again Olympiacos is the only Greek team in history that played such a match. During that game Olympiacos never used a zone defence, although it was played according to European basketball ruling and was defeated naturally by the team of one of the greatest basketball players ever, Michael Jordan (Olympiacos - Chicago Bulls: 78 - 104). FC Barcelona is a polideportivo in Barcelona, Spain, Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, British and Spanish footballers led by Joan Gamper. ...

Although there was a return to the Final Four in 1999, a few years went by before the Reds won another trophy. A drought ended in 2001-02 with a Greek Cup victory, while Olympiacos also reached the Greek League finals and came within a victory of the Euroleague Final Four. In 2004-05, an ever-changing roster made life tough for Olympiacos. The Reds couldn't reach the Euroleague Top 16 and, despite rallying to make the Greek League playoffs, bowed out in the quarterfinals series. But if there is one truth about great, historic teams, they never stay down for long. No one should forget that within the last decade, the Reds knew exactly what it took to win it all. Returning to the very elite of European basketball is the goal in 2005-06 for Olympiacos, a proud club coming off one of its most difficult seasons in recent years. Its rich history, including a Euroleague title in 1997, will help guide Olympiacos as it tries to overcome a 2004-05 season that was full of roster changes and inconsistency. Final Four is a sports term that is commonly applied to the last four teams remaining in a playoff tournament. ...
