Olympiacos FC

Olympiacos FC is a Greek football club based in Piraeus, Athens. They are one of the three biggest football clubs of Greece and are also one of the four clubs never to have been relegated from the Greek first division. Olympiacos are the reigning Greek champions.

Olympiacos won three titles in a row from 1973 to 1975 and four titles in succession from 1980 to 1983. And then started their absolute control of the domestic arena.

Since 1997 Olympiacos have won all but one (2004) Greek league titles and have now firmly established as the most powerful club in Greece of the present time. They have featured in the UEFA Champions League on a regular basis too.
