The text from the PAE website is also detailed
One more… step closer to 100 Olympiacos, as today it completes 99 years of life!
99 years of success and great distinctions in Greece and Europe! Years of strength, passion and pride. 99 years ago in the historic tavern of Moira, the great decision was made to found the largest club in the country, the OLYMPIC!
“It is established in Piraeus under the title “Olympic Fan Association of Piraeus” Somateion, the purpose of which is the development of physical education beyond youth and its elevation in a sports-loving way”, is stated in the first statute of the club.
Only a few years passed until OLYMPIC to reach the top and become the largest and most populous Club in the country, having as its emblem the Laurel-crowned Teenager, who feels proud of the team’s growth and the successes that the Legend has experienced.
99 years of success
On this day, March 10, 1925, the OLYMPIC and has turned into the Legend of Greek football and Greek sports in general, having won 47 Greek Championships, 28 Cups, 4 Super Cups and 1 Balkan Cup in football. And of course it is the team with the most domestic titles in football.
At the same time, Mr OLYMPIC he has experienced great victories and qualifications in all the European competitions he has taken part in over the years and has managed to be highly regarded by all of Europe.
What does red and white mean?
According to historians of those days, the colors of the Association were the idea of Yiannis Andrianopoulos. Red, which symbolizes the passion for victory, but also white, which symbolizes purity and noble rivalry. This is how the first jersey of Thrylos was created, the red and white jersey, with which the Association has recorded countless successes in Greece and Europe in its history.
Its 33 founding members OLYMPIAKOU they were Yannis Andrianopoulos, George Andrianopoulos, Dinos Andrianopoulos, Vassilis Andrianopoulos, Michalis Manouskos, Notis Kamperos, Kostas Kleidouhakis, Dimitris Andronikos, Nikos Andronikos, Dimitris Avdis, Nikos Vlassis, Stefanos Emmanuel, Nikos Zacharias, Thanasis Kallitsis, Nikos Kalou namely, Dinos Kaloudis, Othon Kokkinos, Triantafyllos Kremos, Panagiotis Costalas, Panagiotis Lagoumitzis, Andreas Loukakis, Spyros Loukakis, Yiannis Louloudakis, Vangelis Magopoulos, Stavros Maragoudakis, Grigoris Doufas, Theodore Orlof, Fotis Protopsaltis, Yiannis Symigdalas, Nikos Symigdalas, Christos Tzou Merikiotis, Brasidas Trouposkiadis and Spyros Psallidas .
The first hymn of the Legend
Every opponent of his OLYMPIAKOU he knew what awaited him whenever he competed with the “red and whites”. It is characteristic that in the first National Championship of the period 1930-31 the OLYMPIC recorded unrepeatable triumphs in the Cycling Stadium, but also in the other stadiums of Athens and Thessaloniki. By 3-1, almost everyone inside the Cycle Track lost! Panathinaikos, AEK, Aris, Apollonas, Iraklis and PAOK. The only exception is Ethnikis, who were defeated 4-1!
All these great feats were a huge source of inspiration for Mimi X. Vassiliadis, who wrote the lyrics and Iagos E. Lautaris who composed the music of his first hymn OLYMPIAKOU us! “One, two, three goals, panic everywhere! Triumph, victory, Olympiacos!” An anthem that was sung by players and fans with clenched fists and tears in their eyes! An anthem that moved, shocked and electrified the whole of Greece. It echoed and reverberated throughout Piraeus, throughout Greece.
The lyrics of the first Olympic anthem in detail:
Get out of the way
Get out of the way
Olympiacos enters the field
Wings on feet, heart in chest,
who gave triumphs like fairy tales,
play with art, fearless wolves,
and Niki spreads her wings again.
One passes, the other shoots,
the enemy is losing, right panic,
he watches, he marks,
triumph, victory, Olympiacos.
Olympiacos, Olympiacos.
Chosen bachelors, children of Victory,
strength, art, steel, heart,
one, two, three goals, panic everywhere,
triumph, victory, Olympiacos
The Anthem of “Today”
The second anthem of our Legend, which everyone knows today, was written in 1980 by Spyros Valsamakis and Konstantinos Kilimantzos and performed by Christos Voliotis. Millions of his fans OLYMPIAKOU they have sung it all over the world, either to celebrate a red and white goal, or simply to glorify and honor the Legend!
His lyrics speak to the heart of every fan OLYMPIAKOUas they unite the old with the new era of our team, the glorious past with huge successes and victories, with the bright future ahead, of pride and glory!
The new anthem captivates fans everywhere, who understand the ideals and history of this huge club. Talk about the dynamic of the team, the determination he brings out on the field, the big games he has given wherever he plays and of course his eternal strength OLYMPIAKOU us, the fiery world of “that never bends…”.
The “laurel-crowned” of Greek sports means will and above all stands for fair competition. Olympiacos means to compete and always fight for victory until the last minute!
The words and music of our anthem will forever be engraved in the mind of every fan who loves the Legend, wherever he is in the world!

your fiery world that never bends.

In addition, under the leadership of Vangelis Marinakis, the OLYMPIC managed to reach the highest position he has achieved in his history in Europe, namely 21st place!
