Olympiacós Sýndesmos Filáthlon Peiraiós (Greek: Ολυμπιακός Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων Πειραιώς,[1] Olympic Association of Piraeus Sportsmen) is a major multi-sport club based in Piraeus, Greece.[2] Olympiacos is parent to a number of different competitive departments which participate in football, basketball, volleyball, water polo, handball, athletics, swimming, table tennis and boxing amongst many others—and have won numerous European and domestic titles over the club's history.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Olympiacos SFP is the most successful and decorated multi-sports club in Europe,[9][10][11] having surpassed Barcelona in 2024[12] and being the only Greek club, as well as one of the few European multi-sport clubs to have won as many as 23 International titles[13][14][15][16] –including 21 major European titles, 1 Intercontinental title and 1 Balkan title–[17] in six sports (Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Water Polo, Wrestling, Table Tennis)[18] (no other Greek club have won more than nine European titles). Overall, Olympiacos is the most successful Greek multi-sport club in terms of International titles won (23), European titles won (21), European Championships won (9), participations in European and International finals (50 –23 times Champions, 27 times Runners-up–) and the only Greek multi-sport club to have won European titles in four different team sports (football, basketball, volleyball, water polo). They have won European titles with nine of their sports departments (men's football, youth football, men's basketball, men's volleyball, women's volleyball, men's water polo, women's water polo, men's wrestling, men's table tennis)[9] while no other multi-sport club in Greece has more than three European title-winning sports departments.[19][20]

Specifically, Olympiacos Men's Football Team have won 1 UEFA Europa Conference League (2024) and 1 Balkans Cup (1963), Olympiacos Youth Football Team have won 1 UEFA Youth League (2024), Olympiacos Men's Basketball Team have won 3 EuroLeagues (1997, 2012, 2013)[21] and 1 FIBA Intercontinental Cup (2013),[22][23] Olympiacos Men's Volleyball Team have won 2 CEV Cups (1996, 2005) and 1 CEV Challenge Cup (2023), Olympiacos Women's Volleyball Team have won 1 CEV Challenge Cup (2018), Olympiacos Men's Water Polo Team have won 2 LEN Champions Leagues (2002, 2018)[24][25] and 1 LEN Super Cup (2002), Olympiacos Women's Water Polo Team have won 3 LEN Euro Leagues (2015, 2021, 2022), 1 LEN Trophy (2014)[26] and 3 LEN Super Cups (2015, 2021, 2022), Olympiacos Men's Wrestling Team has won 1 CELA Cup (2006)[27][28][29] and Olympiacos Men's Table Tennis Team have won 1 ETTU Europe Trophy (2023).[30][31] In total, Olympiacos departments (Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Water Polo, Handball, Wrestling, Table Tennis) have reached 50 times the final (23 times Champions, 27 times Runners-up) of the most prestigious and important European and Worldwide competitions, which is an all-time record for a Greek multi-sport club.

The club has also won one Triple Crown in Men's basketball in 1997 (FIBA Euroleague, Greek League, Greek Cup), two Quadruple Crowns in 2002 and 2018 in Men's water polo (2002 LEN Champions League, 2002 LEN Super Cup, 2002 Greek Championship, 2002 Greek Cup – 2018 LEN Champions League, 2018 Greek Championship, 2018 Greek Cup, 2018 Greek Super Cup),[32] two Quadruple Crowns in 2021 and 2022 (2021 LEN Euro League, 2021 LEN Super Cup, 2021 Greek League, 2021 Greek Cup – 2022 LEN Euroleague, 2022 LEN Super Cup, 2022 Greek League, 2022 Greek Cup) and one continental Treble in 2015 (2015 LEN Euroleague, 2015 LEN Super Cup, 2015 Greek League) in women's water polo[33][34] and one continental Treble[35] in women's volleyball in 2018 (CEV Challenge Cup, Greek championship, Greek Cup).

Olympiacos FC is the only club in European football to have won European titles with two different departments (Senior Team, Youth Team) in the same year (2024).

With the 2002 achievement, Olympiacos Men's Water Polo Team became the first club ever in Water polo history (since the establishment of the modern Champions League format in 1996) to win four out of four competitions in a single year, thus completing the quadruple.[36][37] After the 2015 LEN Euroleague win of Olympiacos women's water polo team, Olympiacos CFP became the only multi-sport club in European Water Polo history after Pro Recco to have been crowned European Champions with both its men's and women's departments,[38] and the only one with both its departments currently active (Pro Recco women's department has been dissolved since 2012).[39]

A similar impressive feat was achieved by Olympiacos CFP in another team sport in 2018: after the 2017–18 CEV Women's Challenge Cup win of Olympiacos women's volleyball department, Olympiacos CFP became the only multi-sport club in Greece and one of the very few in European volleyball history to have won European titles with its men's and women's teams.

Olympiacos men's basketball team holds several distinctions. Winning their third Euroleague title in 2013, they are the inaugural and only Greek club (only the third club in European basketball history) to be consecutive title defenders in the modern Final Four era of the EuroLeague. They beat Real Madrid in the final of the 2012–13 EuroLeague Final Four in London, 100–88.[21]

Olympiacos CFP has nurtured some of the greatest Greek athletes. Olympiacos' athletes have become Olympic medal winners, as well as World and European champions, while they are integral part of the Greek national teams. The club maintains Academies with state of the art training facilities, where thousands of children have the opportunity to learn about sports and practice. Olympiacos CFP have granted Greek sports and the club itself numerous Olympic, Worldwide and European honours. Olympiacos had 30 of its athletes and coaches from nine of its sports departments participating in the 2016 Summer Olympics.[40][41][42]

Olympiacos is the most popular Greek club[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] with around four million fans inside Greece and millions of others in the Greek communities all over the world.[51][52][53][54][55][56][57] As of April 2006, Olympiacos has 83,000 registered members and is placed in the top ten of the clubs with the most paying members in the world, holding the ninth place just ahead of Real Madrid.[58][59] In 2014, that figure increased and the team boasts 98,000 registered members.[60] Olympiacos CFP was the first Greek club that made it possible for its fans to become members, and granted them the right of voting for the board of directors.
