With 222 officially recognized titles, Olympiacos CFP (?????????? ???), Thrylos , is one of the biggest multisport clubs in Europe. Olympiacos' departments include Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Waterpolo and Athletics and the club is a leading force in all of them. Olympiacos is the only Greek sports club to have done the Treble (that is Greek Championship, Greek Cup and European Championship in the same year) in two different sports. Olympiacos is the most popular club in Greece.
Olympiacos was founded on March 10, 1925, when the members of the "Piraeus Football Club" and the "Piraeus Fan Club" decided, during a historical assembly, to dissolve the two clubs in order to establish a new unified one. Notis Kamberos announced the name "Olympiacos" and Michalis Manouskos completed it to its full name, "Olympiacos Fan Club of Piraeus". The players of the newly founded Olympiacos were excellent. The Andrianopoulos brothers, however, were those who significantly raised the reputation of the club and added glory to it. Children of a prosperous family, they made the name of Olympiacos known all over Greece. Yiannis, Dinos, Yorgos, and Vassilis were the first to play. Leonidas made his appearance later on, while Stelios played for a short time. The club's offensive line, made up of the five brothers, soon became legendary and, hence, Olympiacos is also known as Thrilos (Legend). The team's emblem is a laurel-wreath-crowned-teenager.
Olympiacos immediately caught the attention of locals, with the team filling the Piraeus Velodrome (now the Karaiskakis stadium); their fanbase consisted mainly of the working class.
