Olympiacos Piraeus Olympiacos SFP has represented the footballing identity of Piraeus since its founding on 10 March 1925, and stands today as the most successful club in Greek football history. Its dominance at home is reflected in a record collection of silverware: 48 league championships, 29 Greek Cups and 5 Greek Super Cups, more than any other club in the country in each of those three competitions. The club's most dominant spells came between 1997 and 2003 and again from 2011 to 2017, when Olympiacos won seven consecutive league titles on each occasion.
Despite this domestic dominance, European success eluded the red-and-whites for decades. That changed in 2024, when Olympiacos beat Fiorentina in the final to win the UEFA Europa Conference League, becoming the first Greek men's club in history to lift a major UEFA trophy — a breakthrough that came almost a century after the club's foundation and cemented its status as a genuine continental force.
The club's home, the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, has an equally layered history. Built in 1895 as a velodrome for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, it became Olympiacos' permanent home in 1925 and was completely rebuilt for the 2004 Athens Olympics, when it was reopened as a purpose-built, all-seater football stadium holding 33,334 spectators. Named after Georgios Karaiskakis, a hero of the Greek War of Independence killed nearby in 1827, the stadium is renowned for producing one of the most intense matchday atmospheres in European football, and today also houses the Olympiacos club museum.
