Olympiacos Football Club (Greek: ΠΑΕ Ολυμπιακός Σ.Φ.Π. Greek pronunciation: [olimbiaˈkos]), also known simply as Olympiacos, Olympiacos Piraeus or with its full name as Olympiacos C.F.P. (Oλυμπιακός Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων Πειραιώς Olympiakós Sýndesmos Filáthlon Peiraiós, "Olympic Club of Fans of Piraeus"), is a Greek professional football club based in Piraeus, Attica. Part of the major multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, their name was inspired from the ancient Olympic Games and along with the club's emblem, the laurel-crowned Olympic athlete, symbolize the Olympic ideals of ancient Greece.[3] Their home ground is the Karaiskakis Stadium, a 32,115-capacity stadium in Piraeus.[4]

Founded on 10 March 1925, Olympiacos is the most successful club in Greek football history,[5] having won 46 League titles, 28 Cups (18 Doubles) and 4 Super Cups, all records.[6] Τotalling 78 national trophies, Olympiacos is 9th in the world in total titles won by a football club.[7] The club's dominating success can be further evidenced by the fact that all other Greek clubs have won a combined total of 39 League titles, while Olympiacos also holds the record for the most consecutive Greek League titles won, with seven in a row in two occasions (1997–2003 and 2011–2017), breaking their own previous record of six consecutive wins in the 1950s (1954–1959), when Olympiacos was unequivocally nicknamed Thrylos (Greek: Θρύλος, "The Legend").
