Olympiacos is the [[List of football clubs in Greece by major honours won|most successful]] club in [[Football in Greece|Greek football history]], having won thirty-seven [[Super League Greece|League]] titles, twenty-four [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cups]] and three [[Greek Super Cup]]s, more titles than any other Greek team and it is one of four teams that have never been relegated from the first division; in European competitions, they have reached the quarter-finals twice, in the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League]] and the [[1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup]]. Olympiacos is also one of the founding members of the [[European Club Association]].

The club's stadium is the newly rebuilt [[Karaiskakis Stadium]] in Piraeus. Olympiacos is the [[Popularity of Greek teams|most popular Greek club]] with around two and a half million fans in Greece and was placed ninth on the list with the most paid up members in the world in 2006, having 83,000 registered members as of April 2006. They share a great and long-standing rivalry with [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]], with whom they contest in the [[derby of the eternal enemies]].

==History==
===Early years and domestic success===
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Andrianopouloi.jpg|thumb|175px|Andrianopoulos Brothers (1925)]] -->
Olympiacos was founded on March 10, 1925, in the port of [[Piraeus]], when the members of "Piraikos Podosfairikos Omilos FC" (Sport and Football Club of Piraeus) and the "Piraeus Fans Club FC" decided, during a historical assembly, to dissolve the two clubs in order to establish a new unified one, with an emblem depicting the profile of an [[Ancient Olympic Games|Olympic]] winner. Notis Kamberos announced the name ''Olympiacos'' and Michalis Manouskos completed it to its full name, ''Olympiacos Syndesmos Filathlon Pireos''. The Andrianopoulos brothers, however, were those who significantly raised the reputation of the club and added glory to it. Members of a prosperous family, they made the name of Olympiacos known over [[Greece]]. Yannis, Dinos, Giorgos and Vassilis were the first to play. Leonidas made his appearance later on and played for a long time (1927–1935). The club's offensive line, made up of the five brothers, soon became legendary. Olympiacos immediately caught the attention of locals, back then their fanbase consisted mainly of the [[working class]], with the team filling the [[Neo Phaliron Velodrome]], later to be the [[Karaiskakis Stadium]], and becoming Piraeus' champions for the seasons 1925, 1926, 1927.<ref name="Peiraias Regional Championship}">{{cite web |url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesg/grkchamp.html |accessdate=March 2009 |title=Peiraias Regional Championship}}</ref>

In 1926, the [[Hellenic Football Federation]] was founded and organized the [[Panhellenic Championship]] in the 1927-1928 season, the first national championship, where the regional champions from EPSA league ([[Athens]]), EPSP league (Piraeus) and EPSM league ([[Thessaloniki]]) compete for the national title through play-offs, with [[Aris Thessaloniki F.C.|Aris]] becoming the first champion. Up to 1958-59 the Panhellenic Championship was organized this way however the second season (1928–29) Olympiacos came to a dispute with the Hellenic Football Federation and did not participate in the championship with [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] and [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]] deciding to follow Olympiacos and doing the same. During that season they played friendly games with each other and together formed a group called [[P.O.K.]]. The fourth Panhellenic Championship took place in 1930-31 and found Olympiacos winning the Greek national league title for the first time in the history of the club. It was going to be a very successful era.

By 1940, Olympiacos had already won six championships in eleven seasons and by 1960 they had won fifteen championships in twenty-three seasons, as well as nine [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cups]], making it for six doubles. The legendary Olympiacos team of the 1950s, with key performers such as [[Andreas Mouratis]], [[Ilias Rossidis]], Thanassis Bebis, Elias Yfantis, Kostas Polychroniou, Giorgos Darivas and Savas Theodoridis, won the title six consecutive times, from 1954 to 1959, combining it with the cup in 1957, 1958 and 1959 to celebrate the only third double in a row to have ever been won in [[Football in Greece|Greek football history]]. Hence, Olympiacos is also known as ''Thrylos'', meaning 'legend', after this classic side of the 1950s which won a hatful of titles. It is worth mentioning that Olympiacos for several seasons was not allowed to make use of the Karaiskakis Stadium and, with permission from Panathinaikos, found a temporary home in [[Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium]], the ground of the eternal enemy.

===Sporadic success and stone years===
The first championship as a Top National League, called ''Alpha Ethniki'', was held for the first time in the [[1959-60 in Greek football|1959-60]] season however the 60s and the early 70s were not as fruitful for Olympiacos, having won only two championships and six 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. Under Goulandris presidency, Olympiacos won the title three times in a row from 1973 to 1975, combining it with the cup in 1973 and 1975. The highlight for that side was the [[Alpha Ethniki 1973-74|1973-74]] season, when Olympiacos won the league with record points (59) and goals (102). Following Goulandris resignation from the presidency in 1975, the team went through a relative dry period in the second half of the 1970s. However in the early 80s,when the championship became professional, Olympiacos emerged again as the dominant power in the Greek football winning the title four times in a row ([[Alpha Ethniki 1979-80|1980]], [[Alpha Ethniki 1980-81|1981]], [[Alpha Ethniki 1981-82|1982]], [[Alpha Ethniki 1982-83|1983]]). Key players during this period included forward [[Nikos Anastopoulos]], midfielder [[Tasos Mitropoulos]] and goalkeeper [[Nikos Sarganis]]. [[Alketas Panagoulias]], who had also been manager of the [[Greece national football team|Greek national football team]] and the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national soccer team]], coached the team between 1981 and 1983 and again in the [[Alpha Ethniki 1986-87|1986-87]] season, earning the championship title in 1982, 1983 and 1987.

Olympiacos experienced its darkest days from the late-1980s until the mid-90s. In the mid-80s Olympiacos 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, 1988 to 1996. This period was known as ''Olympiacos' stone years''. It is worth mentioning that [[Alpha Ethniki 1987-88|1987-88]] was the worst season ever for Olympiacos, as the club finished 8th in the league, playing to avoid the relegation in most of the season.

===Absolute domination===
Olympiacos' era of domination began with attracting players of international magnitude like [[Zlatko Zahovič]], [[Giovanni Silva de Oliveira|Giovanni]], and [[FIFA World Cup|World Champions]] [[Rivaldo]] and [[Christian Karembeu]]. Olympiacos won seven consecutive championships, beating their own past record of six, with their best season being [[Alpha Ethniki 1998-99|1998-99]], when they celebrated [[the Double]] and their qualification to the quarterfinals of the [[UEFA Champions League 1998–99|UEFA Champions League]], their best-ever European campaign. In this period Olympiakos employed more than eleven coaches. The best-known are [[Ioannis Matzourakis]], [[Takis Lemonis]], [[Trond Sollied]], [[Oleg Protasov]], [[Siniša Gogić]] and [[Nikos Alefantos]].

Despite constant management changes, Olympiacos kept on winning championships, except for the [[Alpha Ethniki 2003-04|season 2003–04]], when they finished second after switching three coaches in a year. Olympiacos rehired Dušan Bajević and transferred [[1999 FIFA World Player of the Year|1999 World Footballer of the Year]] Rivaldo. The end of the season found Olympiacos with both domestic trophies but without Bajević, who resigned; in his place, [[Trond Sollied]] was hired. They also signed arch-rival Panathinaikos' striker [[Michalis Konstantinou]]. During the season [[Alpha Ethniki 2005-06|2005–06]], Olympiacos won all the four derbies against their major rivals, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens, something only achieved once more, during the season [[Alpha Ethniki 1972-73|1972–73]]. The combined goal total in these four matches was 11-3 in favour of Olympiacos. They also beat AEK Athens 3-0 in the Greek Cup Final to clinch their second straight double and managed to win 16 consecutive matches in the championship, breaking their own record.

After a record-breaking season, in the 2006 summer transfers, Trond Sollied signed seven players. However, Sollied did not live up to expectations in the [[UEFA Champions League 2006–07]] and was replaced by Takis Lemonis at the end of 2006. Lemonis transferred the young star [[Vasilis Torosidis]], and though Lemonis won the third consecutive championship for Olympiacos, he didn't win the [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] after a surprise elimination by [[PAS Giannina F.C.|PAS Giannina]].

In the summer of 2007, Olympiacos made very expensive transfers like [[Darko Kovačević]] and [[Luciano Galletti]] and realized the most lucrative transfer in Greek football history, by selling striker-midfielder [[Nery Castillo]] to [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] club [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]] for the record sum of 20 million Euro (27.5 million US Dollars). Because of a clause in Castillo's contract, Olympiacos received 15 million Euro and the remaining 5 million Euro were given directly to the player. Furthermore, a controversy started between the team and player Rivaldo, as Olympiacos did not wish to renew the player's contract, despite the fact that Rivaldo had featured heavily in the club's successful campaigns, both in Greece and abroad. Former player [[Ilija Ivic]] was selected for the role of the team's football manager. The team didn't start well in the Greek championship, but it achieved a stunning performance in the [[UEFA Champions League 2007-08|Champions League]], managing to qualify to the next round after nine years of unsuccessful European campaigns. However, the team's less than satisfactory performance in the league, coupled with the defeat from [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in the Champions League, in [[Stamford Bridge Stadium]], prompted club manager Socrates Kokkalis to sack coach Takis Lemonis. The team's assistant manager, [[Jose Segura]], coached the team for the remainder of the season. Although Olympiacos managed to win both the Greek Cup and Championship, Segura returned to his previous position.

In the summer of 2008, Olympiacos made prominent transfers, signing [[Diogo Luis Santo]], [[Avraam Papadopoulos]] and [[Dudu Cearense]], and appointed [[Ernesto Valverde]] as the new coach with a three-year contract worth approximately €6,000,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=670758.html |title=Lemonis leaves Olympiacos post |publisher=[[UEFA|UEFA.com]] |date= |accessdate=2008-03-12}}</ref> The 2008-09 season started badly for Olympiacos, with the team losing their first few official matches, against [[Anorthosis Famagusta FC|Anorthosis Famagusta]] for the [[UEFA Champions League 2008–09#Third qualifying round|Champions League third qualifying round]], and was eliminated from the tournament, which resulted to a seat in the [[UEFA Cup 2008–09#First round|UEFA Cup first round]], where Olympiacos beat [[FC Nordsjælland|Nordsjælland]] to qualify to the group stage. The team also started good in the [[Super League Greece 2008–09]], winning every match at home, but facing difficulties away. After an impressive UEFA Cup run at home, the team managed to get through to the round of 32, facing [[France|French]] side [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne]].

In the summer of 2009,Olympiakos signed major players,such as [[Olof Mellberg]] from Juventus for 2.5 million euros, English striker [[Matt Derbyshire]] from Blackburn Rovers, Mid-Fielder [[Jaouad Zairi]] from Asteras Tripolis,and [[Enzo Maresca]] from Sevilla. Many other players were returned from loans such as Ex- Real Madrid defender [[Raul Bravo]], [[Georgios Katsikogiannis]] Argentine Mid-Fielder [[Cristian Raul Ledesma]], and promising American goalkeeper [[Sean Collins]]. Olympiakos may have began a new era in the [[UEFA Champions League]] with the start of the 2009-2010 season .With the signing of all star legendary Brazilian ex-soccer player [[Zico]] as their coach they have began with a series of wins. Olympiakos so far have had great success, with a 2-0 derby win over [[Panathinaikos]]. Coach Zico’s training methods must have been working after he brought the team lots of success after qualifying for the UEFA Champions League Final 16, finishing 2nd in their group 3 points behind Arsenal despite the absence of numerous first-team players due to injuries.So far in the [[UEFA Champions League]] 2009-2010 season Olympiakos have not lost a single home game and are up to face Bordeaux next in the final 16. On the other hand, Olympiacos have failed to do well in local competition ,falling 7 points in 2nd place behind arch rivals Panithinaikos(47 points:15-2-1) and getting elimanted from the Greek cup by a 2nd division team and a really important loss to rivals Aek Athens .Finally on January 19, 2010, though his team lost only two times (twelve wins and four draws) in the Greek Superleague, Zico was sacked.

==Crest and colours==
[[File:Olympiakos Shirt 2008-2009.jpg|thumb|250px|Olympiacos' shirt for season 2008–09]]
When, in 1925, the merger of the two clubs of Piraeus, Athlitikos Podosfairikos Syllogos Pireos and Omilos Filathlon Pireos, gave birth to the new football club, the latter was unanimously baptized ''Olympiacos Club of Fans of Piraeus'', a name inspired from the [[Ancient Olympic Games]], the morality, the vying and the splendor that they represented in [[ancient Greece]]. Consequently, the club adopted the laureate teen as their emblem, which symbolizes the Olympic Games winner, a crest that underwent minor changes through the ages. Red and white were chosen as the colours of the crest; red for the passion and white for the virtue.

The typical kit of the team is that of a shirt with red and white vertical stripes, and red or white shorts and socks. The shirt has taken different forms during the history of the club, for example with thin or wider stripes. The second most common kit is the all-red one and next the all-white one. Olympiacos has used several other colours during its history as an away or third kit, with the most notable of them being the monotint black or silver one. The most common kits of Olympiacos during their history are these below (the year of each one is indicant):

==Stadium==
{{Main|Karaiskakis Stadium}}
The [[Karaiskakis Stadium]] ({{lang-el|Γήπεδο Γεώργιος Καραϊσκάκης}}), situated at the [[Faliro]] area of [[Piraeus]], [[Greece]], is the traditional and current home ground of Olympiacos. Named after [[Georgios Karaiskakis]], national hero of the [[Greek War of Independence]], it hosts Olympiacos home matches for the most of the club's history.

It was built in 1895 as a [[velodrome]], to host the [[Cycling at the 1896 Summer Olympics|cycling events]] for the [[1896 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]]. Its official name was ''[[Neo Phaliron Velodrome]]'' ({{lang-el|Ποδηλατοδρόμιο Νέου Φαλήρου}}) and the pitch was covered with curm. Olympiacos started using it since its foundation in 1925. In 1964, the stadium was renovated, taking its current name and the shape it had until 2003, with an athletics track around the pitch. Being one of the most important sport venues in Greece, it hosted the [[1969 European Athletics Championships]] and the [[1971 European Cup Winners' Cup Final]] between [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] and [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]].

The history of the Karaiskakis Stadium and Olympiacos was marked by the worst tragedy that ever hit [[Sport in Greece|Greek sports]], known as the [[Karaiskakis Stadium disaster]]. On February 8, 1981, Olympiacos hosted [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]] for a [[Alpha Ethniki 1980-81|League]] match, which ended 6–0, in an unprecedented triumph for the host team of Piraeus. During the last minutes of the game, thousands of Olympiacos fans at the gate 7 rushed to the exit, to get to the stadium's main entrance and celebrate with the players, but the doors were almost closed and the turnstiles still in place, making the exit almost impossible. As people continued to come down from the stands, unable to see what happened, the stairs of gate 7 became a death trap; people were crushed, tens of fans were seriously injured and twenty-one young people died, most of them by [[Asphyxia|suffocation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stadia.gr/karaiskaki/karaiskakiold.html |title=Velodrome and Karaiskakis Stadium (1895-1964-2003) |publisher=www.stadia.gr |accessdate=2009-01-03}}</ref>

Olympiacos left the Karaiskakis Stadium temporarily, to play home games at the newly built [[Olympic Stadium (Athens)|Athens Olympic Stadium]], in 1984. After a five-year use of the biggest stadium in Greece, the team returned to their traditional home, where they played until 1997. It was then that Olympiacos got back to the Athens Olympic Stadium, where they stayed for another period of five years. In 2002, the Olympic Stadium was closed for renovation works due to the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] and Olympiacos moved to the [[Georgios Kamaras Stadium]] in [[Rizoupoli]], home of [[Apollon Smyrnis F.C.|Apollon Smyrnis]], for the following two seasons.

The Karaiskakis Stadium had fallen in disrepair and its use was passed to Olympiacos in April 2003; the club took the responsibility to build a new football-only ground in its place, to be used for the [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|football tournament]] of the 2004 Olympics. In return, Olympiacos got exclusive use of the stadium until 2052, covering all maintenance costs and also paying 15% of revenue to the State. The old stadium was demolished in the spring of 2003 and the whole project was constructed in the record period of 14 months. It was completed on June 30, 2004 at a total cost of [[Euro|€]]60 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stadia.gr/karaiskaki/karaiskaki.html |title=Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium |publisher=www.stadia.gr |accessdate=2009-01-04}}</ref> Nowadays, the Karaiskakis Stadium is one of the most modern football grounds in Europe, also hosting the museum of Olympiacos and several facilities around.

Olympiacos' traditional fanbase comes from the city of [[Piraeus]], where the club is based, as well as a good part of the rest of the [[Athens]] area. The club's popularity increased during the 1950s after winning consecutive titles and setting several records, and they became the best-supported football club in the country. Traditionally, Olympiacos used to represent the [[working class]], but the club has always attracted fans from all the social classes and their fanbase is not associated with any specific social group anymore.<ref name=cnn>{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/football/10/22/first11.derbies/index.html |title=Football First 11: Do or die derbies |publisher=[[CNN]] |date=2008-10-22 |accessdate=2009-02-07}}</ref><ref name=footballderbies>{{cite web|url=http://www.footballderbies.com/honours/index.php?id=75 |title=Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Panathinaikos|publisher=Footballderbies.com |accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref>

Several newspapers and magazines' polls rank Olympiacos as the most popular club in Greece with a percentage varying between 29–37% among the fans and 20.3–29.3% in total population, which corresponds to around two and a half millions of supporters in Greece. The club is overwhelmingly popular in Piraeus, where almost half of its population supports Olympiacos,<ref name=Eleftherotypia>{{cite web|url=http://www.enet.gr/online/online_text/c=110,dt=23.05.2004,id=24200380,32090684 |title=Γήπεδο είσαι κοινωνία και σου μοιάζω |publisher=[[Eleftherotypia]] |language=Greek |date=2004-05-23 |accessdate=2009-02-04}}</ref> while their support in the whole of Athens reaches 45.1% of the fans, making them the most popular club in the Greek capital.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goalday.gr/article.asp?catid=10559&subid=2&pubid=338686 |title=H πιο πρόσφατη... «απογραφή»! |publisher=Goalday |language=Greek |date=2006-05-31 |accessdate=2009-02-04}}</ref> They are also the most popular club in the working class with a percentage of 37% and in all age groups,<ref name=Eleftherotypia/> as well as among both male and female fans;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4708/neo10000005sv.jpg |title=Προτίμηση ποδοσφαιρικής ομάδας |publisher=AEK Empire |language=Greek |year=2005 |accessdate=2009-02-04}}</ref> the vast majority of their fans comes from the [[Centrism|centre]] and [[centre-right]] of the [[political spectrum]].<ref name=Eleftherotypia/> Outside of Athens, Olympiacos is the most popular club in [[Central Greece]], the [[Peloponnese]], [[Thessaly]], the [[Aegean Islands|Aegean]] and the [[Ionian Islands]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.superleaguegreece.net/downloads/Greek_Football_Research.pdf |format=PDF |title=Results of popularity research |publisher=[[Super League Greece]] website |date=2007-05 |accessdate=2009-02-04}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> Additionally, they have the highest average all-time attendance in Greek football, having topped the attendance tables in most of the seasons in Super League Greece history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn.htm |title=Ellas attendances |publisher=EFS Attendances |accessdate=2009-02-04}}</ref>

In 2006, Olympiacos was 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 C.F.|Real Madrid]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aipsmedia.com/index.php?page=news&cod=534&tp=n |title=Portugal celebrates as Benfica smashes world record |publisher=AIPS website |year=2006 |accessdate=2009-02-05}}</ref> As of April 2006, the club had some 83,000 registered members.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sport24.gr/html/ent/140/ent.113140.asp |title="Σπόντες"... δημοσίου |publisher=www.sport24.gr |language=Greek |date=2006-04-14 |accessdate=2009-02-05}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> Olympiacos and [[Red Star Belgrade]] fans have developed a deep friendship, calling themselves the ''Orthodox Brothers''. Usually, Olympiacos supporters from several fan-clubs attend Red Star's matches, especially against their old rival [[FK Partizan|Partizan]], and vice-versa. More recently, the Orthodox Brothers have started to include fans of [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]] in their club.

Olympiacos fans are renowned for their passionate and fervent support to their team, with the atmosphere at home matches regarded as intimidating. When they played [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] at home in the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup]], the match was televised in the [[United Kingdom]] on [[Five (TV channel)|Channel 5]] and the guest commentator was former [[England national football team|England]] international [[Tony Cottee]], who was constantly mentioning how great the atmosphere was. During the game he was asked whether it was the most atmospheric stadium he had been to and replied: ''"I'd have to say it probably is. You hear a lot about various places and the atmosphere there but when you go you realise it's not all that... But this place is the real deal."''<ref>Tony Cottee. "Channel 5 broadcast of the UEFA Cup match Olympiacos vs Newcastle - Live". March 10, 2005</ref> The experienced [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech]] international winger [[Jaroslav Plašil]] paid further testament to the hostile atmosphere created by Olympiacos fans at home before his team [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]] visit [[Karaiskakis Stadium]], where he had played during his time at [[AS Monaco FC|Monaco]] and stated: ''"It was one of the most intense atmospheres I've ever experienced in a stadium, so I expect it will be a bit like hell for us. Their supporters really can help their team."''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/90/france/2010/01/28/1764986/away-game-against-olympiacos-will-be-a-bit-like-hell |title=Away Game Against Olympiacos Will Be A Bit Like Hell - Bordeaux Midfielder Jaroslav Plasil |publisher=www.goal.com |date=2010-01-28 |accessdate=2010-02-26}}</ref>

==Rivalries==
{{main|Derby of the eternal enemies|Olympiacos and PAOK rivalry}}
[[File:Gate7 against panathinaikos.jpg|thumb|250px|Olympiacos' fans inside the [[Karaiskakis Stadium]] during a derby against rivals [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]].]]
Traditionally, Olympiacos' main rival is [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] and their so-called [[derby of the eternal enemies]] is the classic rivalry in the [[Athens]] area and [[Football in Greece|Greek football]] in general. The two teams are the [[List of football clubs in Greece by major honours won|most successful]] and [[Popularity of Greek teams|most popular]] Greek football clubs, and the rivalry is also indicative of social, cultural and regional differences; Olympiacos is traditionally seen as the classic representative of the [[working class]] of the port city of [[Piraeus]], while Panathinaikos is considered the club of the Athenian higher-class society, although nowadays this differentiation has weakened and the two clubs have similar fanbases.<ref name=cnn/><ref name=footballderbies/> Many violent incidents between the fans of the two sides have occurred, like the death of [[Mihalis Filopoulos]], a Panathinaikos fan, in a clash of [[Hooliganism|hooligans]] supporting the two clubs for a women's volleyball match in 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=268759 |title=Fan’s Death Shocks Greece |publisher=Goal.com |date=2007-03-30 |accessdate=2008-03-12}}</ref>

Another major rival of Olympiacos is [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]], due to their proximity and strong on-pitch rivalry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.footballderbies.com/honours/index.php?id=76 |title=AEK Athens vs. Olympiacos Piraeus|publisher=Footballderbies.com |accessdate=2009-02-07}}</ref> The [[Olympiacos and PAOK rivalry|rivalry between Olympiacos and PAOK]], although [[PAOK F.C.|PAOK]] was rarely a primary contestant of Olympiacos, is long-standing, dating back to the 1960s, when Olympiacos negotiated to acquire the player-symbol of PAOK, [[Giorgos Koudas]]. Also relies on the rivalry between Athens and [[Thessaloniki]], the country's two major cities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.footballderbies.com/honours/index.php?id=92 |title=PAOK Saloniki vs. Olympiacos Piraeus|publisher=Footballderbies.com |accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref> Another rival of Olympiacos used to be [[Ethnikos Piraeus F.C.|Ethnikos Piraeus]], the second-most successful club of Piraeus, but the rivalry languished because Ethnikos Piraeus no longer plays in the top tier of Greek football.

===European performance===
{{Main|Olympiacos F.C. in Europe}}
[[File:Chelsea Olympiakos CL07-08 00.jpg|thumb|250px|Olympiacos players arrayed in [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]], in the second match for the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League]] [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League knockout stage#First knockout round|first knockout round]] against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]].]]
Olympiacos has a long presence in [[UEFA#Competitions|UEFA competitions]], debuting on September 13, 1959, against [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] for the [[1959–60 European Cup]], being the first Greek team in a European competition. However, they were to play against [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] for the preliminary round of the [[1958–59 European Cup]], but withdrew.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.uefa.com/printoutfiles/competitions/uefacup/2009/e/e_304171_pk.pdf |title=Galatasaray AŞ-Olympiacos CFP, match press kit |publisher=[[UEFA|www.uefa.com]] |page=1 |date=2008-10-21 |accessdate=2009-11-19 |quote=They were drawn to play against Beşiktaş JK in the preliminary round of the 1958/59 European Champion Clubs' Cup, but withdrew from the competition.}}</ref> They celebrated their 200th European game on February 23, 2010, against [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]] in the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League knockout stage#First knockout round|first knockout round]] of the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League]]. Olympiacos was also the first Greek team to advance to the next round of any European competition, eliminating [[Zagłębie Sosnowiec]] for the [[1963–64 European Cup Winners' Cup]]. Their best European results were reaching the quarter-finals of the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League]], where they were eliminated by [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]], and the quarter-finals of the [[1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup]], before losing to [[Atlético Madrid]].

At the European level, Olympiacos have a strong record in home games. This has been proved by some long-standing unbeaten sequences, especially in the [[UEFA Champions League]], where [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] was the first team to beat Olympiacos at home, in the latter's fifth consecutive participation in the tournament with its new format. In addition, Olympiacos gained impressive wins at home, like the stunning 6–2 victory over the then Champions League runners-up [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen|Bayer Leverkusen]] in the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League]], and three consecutive large wins in the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup]], 5–0 against [[FC Nordsjælland|Nordsjælland]], 5–1 against [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] and 4–0 against [[Hertha BSC|Hertha Berlin]].
