'''Club Olimpia''' is a Paraguayan professional [[football club]] based in the city of [[Asunción]]. It promotes the practice of various sports, with most importance given to the [[Association football|football]], [[Rugby union|rugby]] and [[basketball]] sides, football being the most successful. The club was founded on July 25, 1902, by a group of young Paraguayans, and the name stems from the idea of its principal founding member, [[William Paats]], a Dutchman based in Paraguay, who is considered the father of [[Paraguayan Primera División|Paraguayan football]] for having introduced the practice of the sport in the South American country. Internationally, the club is referred to as '''Olimpia Asunción''' in order to distinguish it from Latin American football clubs of the same name.

Olimpia has won a record 46 [[Paraguayan Primera División|Primera División]] titles to date, including a unique record run of winning the league six consecutive times. The only Paraguayan club to win a [[CONMEBOL]] title, Olimpia has won three [[Copa Libertadores]] — and has been runner-up four times — as well as two [[Recopa Sudamericana]]s, one [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]], one [[Copa Interamericana]], and one [[Supercopa Sudamericana]], a competition it won automatically in [[1991 Recopa Sudamericana|1991]]. In 1979 it achieved the "quadruple", the rare feat of winning all possible official titles on offer that year: the Paraguayan championship, the [[1979 Copa Libertadores|Copa Libertadores]], the Copa Interamericana and the [[1979 Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]].

Olimpia contests the [[Paraguayan football derby]] (clásico) with [[Cerro Porteño]], the "clásico añejo" (Old Derby) with [[Club Guaraní|Guaraní]], and the "black and white derby" with [[Club Libertad|Libertad]].

The football team plays its home games at the [[Estadio Manuel Ferreira]], also known as "El Bosque" (The Forest) and "Para Uno". Basketball and other sports, have their own sports centre named after former president [[Osvaldo Dominguez Dibb]] in the same site as the stadium in the [[Mariscal López]] neighborhood.

==History==

===Foundation===
On November 23, 1901, before the formation of Club Olimpia, [[William Paats]] organized a first match between two teams of his students which then made young people to be eager to develop a sport team in Paraguay.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Team|first=Editorial|date=2021-09-28|title=Club Olimpia - Paraguay's Most Successful Club|url=https://historyofsoccer.info/club-olimpia|access-date=2021-12-15|website=historyofsoccer.info|language=en-US|archive-date=December 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215074300/https://historyofsoccer.info/club-olimpia|url-status=live}}</ref> Olimpia was founded on July 25, 1902, being the oldest [[association football|football]] team in Paraguay. The club was founded by Dutchman [[William Paats]], along with Paraguayans Sila Godoi, Fernando S. Pascual, José E. Torres, Gustavo M. Crovatto, Héctor Cabañas, Juan Rodi, Antonio Pedraza, Luis Marecos, Juan Mara and Genaro Gutiérrez Yegros. The act of foundation was written in the Rodi's family home, located in the streets of Azara and Independencia Nacional in downtown [[Asunción]], Paraguay. That evening, three names for the club were suggested: Paraguay, Esparta and Olimpia. The final decision came to William Paats who chose "Club Olimpia" as the team official name, in honor of the Greek city of [[Olympia, Greece|Olympia]] where the [[Olympic Games]] were born.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.olimpia.com.py/fundacion.asp |title=Foundation of the Club |website=Club Olimpia Website |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071208121513/http://www.olimpia.com.py/fundacion.asp |archive-date=December 8, 2007 |access-date=December 17, 2007}}</ref>

The original kit was composed of a black shirt with the word "Olimpia" written in white across the chest and white shorts. Later, white and black were adopted as the colours for the team, with a white shirt with a horizontal black stripe. The alternate jersey is black with a white stripe, though in 2008 the stripe is vertical.

===The early years (1902–1950)===
[[File:Olimpia Campeon LPF 1912.jpg|thumb|right|The team that won its first Primera División championship in 1912.]]
The first national championship in Paraguay was played in 1906, after the foundation of the [[Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol|Paraguayan Football Association (APF)]]. It was not until 1912 that Olimpia won a championship, facing [[Club Sol de América|Sol de América]] in the final. In that same year, Olimpia's biggest rival, [[Cerro Porteño]], was founded.

After a few championships won during the 1910s, Olimpia's next big accomplishment were the three championships in a row in 1927, 1928, 1929 becoming the first Paraguayan team to win three consecutive titles. Olimpia repeated the same feat by becoming champions in 1936, 1937, 1938. The 1940s presented a rough time for Olimpia with bad results for most of the decade; but despite that Olimpia won two titles (1947 and 1948).

===The start of dominance (1950–1975)===
After the unpleasant times in the 1940s decade Olimpia started to establish its dominance in the Paraguayan league when [[Manuel Ferreira Sosa]] assumed the presidency of the club in the mid-1950s. During Ferreira's presidency the football stadium, [[Estadio Manuel Ferreira]], was built. However, the most important accomplishment made by Ferreira was the acquisition of several key players that led Olimpia to a record five consecutive championships, from 1956 to 1960 (with an undefeated championship in 1959).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.eldecano.iwarp.com/historia.htm#Predominio%20de%20un%20gran%20Olimpia%20y%20%FAnico%20Pentacampe%F3n |title=Historia del Mas Grande |website=El Decano Website |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427000627/http://www.eldecano.iwarp.com/historia.htm#Predominio%20de%20un%20gran%20Olimpia%20y%20%FAnico%20Pentacampe%F3n |archive-date=April 27, 2006}}</ref>

The club also had a first taste of international success in 1960 in the first edition of the [[Copa Libertadores de América]] by reaching the finals in which they lost to [[Peñarol]]. Ironically, the winning goal for Peñarol in the finals was scored by Uruguayan [[Luis Cubilla]], who later became a coach and led Olimpia to several national and international championships.

===The golden years (1975–1986)===
The election of new club president [[Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb]] in 1975 is a key part in Olimpia's history. The new president hired coach [[Luis Cubilla]], who led Olimpia to its first international cup title when the club defeated [[Boca Juniors]] of Argentina in the [[1979 Copa Libertadores Finals|1979 Copa Libertadores finals]]. In the first leg game played in [[Asunción]] Olimpia won 2–0. That result allowed Olimpia to play their effective defensive scheme in the famous [[Estadio Alberto J. Armando|La Bombonera]] stadium in the second leg, ending the match in a 0–0 draw that gave the Paraguayan side its first Copa Libertadores.

In that same year, Olimpia won the [[Copa Interamericana]] by defeating [[C.D. FAS|FAS]] of El Salvador by an aggregate of 8–3 (first leg result: 3–3, second leg result: 5–0) and the [[Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Championship statistics|Intercontinental Cup]] by defeating the [[UEFA Champions League]] runner-up [[Malmö FF|Malmö]] of Sweden 3–1 on aggregate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/news/olimpia-emerge-triumphant-unlikely-decider-510471 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200724213554/https://www.fifa.com/news/olimpia-emerge-triumphant-unlikely-decider-510471 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 24, 2020 |title=Olimpia Emerge Triumphant in Unlikely Decider |publisher=FIFA}}</ref>

Olimpia's success was not limited to the international scene: from 1978 to 1983 the team won a record six-straight Paraguayan league championships (beating their own record set in 1956–60 of five consecutive titles).

===Continued success (1986–2000)===
After the 1979 Copa Libertadores win, fans were starving for more continental success. For that matter, the club's president, Osvaldo Dominguez Dibb, decided to make a financial effort to bring [[Raul Vicente Amarilla]], a Paraguayan striker that had proven his quality in the Spanish league over the years.
[[File:R. Santa Cruz Blackburn.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Roque Santa Cruz, pictured with [[Blackburn Rovers]] in 2009, debuted for Olimpia in 1997 and won consecutive trophies with the club.]]
The signing of Oscar Amarilla was as positive for Olimpia as expected, as the team reached the [[1989 Copa Libertadores Finals|1989 Copa Libertadores finals]] but came up short, being defeated by [[Atlético Nacional]]. However, it did not take long for Olimpia to take revenge on Atlético Nacional, as they defeated the Colombian side in the semi-finals of the [[1990 Copa Libertadores]]. This semi-final victory allowed Olimpia to play the finals against [[Barcelona Sporting Club|Barcelona de Guayaquil]], beating the Ecuadorians 2–0 in the first leg played in Asunción, and tying 1–1 in Ecuador. This way Olimpia obtained its second Libertadores Cup with a 3–1 aggregate scoreline and a formidable team that had key players such as [[Ever Hugo Almeida|Almeida]], [[Gabriel González (Paraguayan footballer)|Gabriel González]], [[Adriano Samaniego|Samaniego]], [[Raul Vicente Amarilla|Amarilla]] among others.

Not content with the Libertadores title itself, Olimpia went on to win the 1990 [[Supercopa Sudamericana]], a tournament reserved only for the best teams in [[South America]]. They did this by defeating [[Club Nacional de Football|Nacional de Montevideo]] in the finals with a 6–3 aggregate score. In that same year, Olimpia played the [[1990 Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup final]] in Japan against the [[1989–90 European Cup|European champion]] [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]], losing 3–0. Because Olimpia won both the Libertadores and Supercopa in the same year, they automatically won the [[1990 Recopa Sudamericana]]. The achievement of all the mentioned international titles in 1979 and 1990 established Olimpia as one of the most respected and traditional teams in South American football. In 1991 Olimpia reached the [[1991 Copa Libertadores Finals|Copa Libertadores finals]] for the third time in a row but lost against [[Colo-Colo]]  3–0. Amongst other trophies won by Olimpia at the time, the club were crowned undefeated champions of the 1992 [[Torneo República]], with [[Roberto Perfumo]] as team manager.

From 1994 to 1999, Olimpia would produce the debut of several youth team graduates and future national team players, such as [[Richart Baez]] (1993),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/14742/Richart_Baez.html|title=Richart Báez|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=August 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810083413/https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/14742/Richart_Baez.html|url-status=live}}</ref>  [[Denis Caniza]] (1994),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5147/Denis_Caniza.html|title=Denis Caniza|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=December 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201084202/https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5147/Denis_Caniza.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Carlos Humberto Paredes]] (1996),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5166/Carlos_Paredes.html|title=Carlos Paredes|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=April 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420103025/https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5166/Carlos_Paredes.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Roque Santa Cruz]] (1997),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5126/Roque_Santa_Cruz.html|title=Roque Santa Cruz|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=June 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628005259/https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5126/Roque_Santa_Cruz.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Ruben Maldonado]] (1997)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5137/Ruben_Maldonado.html|title=Rubén Maldonado|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=May 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170522020942/http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5137/Ruben_Maldonado.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Julio César Caceres]] (1999).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5144/Julio_Cesar_Caceres.html|title=Julio César Cáceres|first=Benjamin|last=Strack-Zimmermann|website=www.national-football-teams.com|accessdate=April 12, 2021|archive-date=January 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116184003/https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/5144/Julio_Cesar_Caceres.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Baez was transferred to [[J1 League]] club [[Avispa Fukuoka]] whilst Santa Cruz, Paredes, Maldonado and Caceres were transferred to [[UEFA]] clubs. Five of the six players went on to play at FIFA World Cup tournaments for Paraguay. Olimpia also had won trophies in Paraguay's Primera División in 1993, 1995 and then consecutively from 1997 to 2000, before winning the [[Copa Libertadores de América]] in [[2002 Copa Libertadores|2002]].

===Centenary and present (2000–present)===
[[Image:olimpia 2002.JPG|thumb|right|Olimpia squad during a 2002 Copa Libertadores match.]]
On July 25, 2002 Olimpia celebrated its [[centenary]]. This was not only an historic date in Olimpia's history because of the centenary, but it marked the year where Olimpia obtained its third Copa Libertadores. Having defeated [[Once Caldas]] (Colombia) and [[Club Deportivo Universidad Católica|Universidad Católica]] (Chile) in the first round, Olimpia won the series against [[Cobreloa]] (Chile) in the second round, and then went on to overcome Boca Juniors in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, Olimpia overcame [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] (Brazil). In [[2002 Copa Libertadores Finals|the finals]], the team led by coach  [[Nery Pumpido]] defeated Brazilian side [[Associação Desportiva São Caetano|São Caetano]] 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out after an aggregate score of 2–2 in both legs and thus winning the final. Olimpia's base formation for the tournament was with [[Ricardo Tavarelli]] in goal; Néstor Isasi, [[Julio César Cáceres]], Nelson Zelaya and Henrique da Silva in defense; Sergio Orteman, [[Victor Quintana]], Julio Enciso and [[Gastón Córdoba]] in midfield; and Miguel Benítez and Richart Báez (later [[Hernán Rodrigo López]]) in the front. Coach Nery Alberto Pumpido was at the helm.

Olimpia also won the [[2003 Recopa Sudamericana|2002 Recopa Sudamericana]] (played in 2003) by defeating [[San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]] of Argentina 2–0 in the final played in [[Los Angeles]]. As in 1990, Olimpia lost the [[2002 Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup final]], this time against the powerful [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] by a score of 0–2.

A deep slump followed the successful international period of 2002–03. Olimpia failed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores consistently in the last few years, and did not win the local tournament since 2000. Coaches have come and gone, most failing to lift Olimpia to any glory. [[Oscar Vicente Scavone|Oscar Scavone]] was president from 2004–2006.

[[Image:Marcelo Recanate.jpg|thumb|upright|Marcelo Recanate, former president of Club Olimpia.]]
At the beginning of the [[2007 Club Olimpia season|2007 Apertura season]], Paraguayan legend José Cardozo took the helm as coach. His tenure did not last long, as Olimpia were unable to win the championship. For the Clausura tournament, former star player [[Alicio Solalinde]] was back at the helm. Though his record was not bad, he was replaced by [[Carlos Jara Saguier]] halfway through the tournament. This sparked a lot of controversy, as Saguier was a former player of [[Cerro Porteño]], and an admitted fan of that club. Olimpia finished third in the Clausura tournament, behind Libertad and Cerro Porteño. A fourth-place finish in the annual table (adding both Apertura and Clausura tournaments) allowed Olimpia to return to international play after 4 years of absence with the [[2008 Copa Sudamericana]].

In December 2010, Club Olimpia had their internal elections which are usually held every two years. The two lists presented were led by the candidates for president Marcelo Recanate and Eduardo Delmás respectively. The list presided by Marcelo Recanate won the elections and they took control of the Club Olimpia from that same year.

[[Image:Defensores del Chaco.JPG|thumb|left|Olimpia Asunción in a fixture against 3 de Febrero at the Defensores del Chaco in 2011.]]
The year 2011 started off very successfully for both the new directors as well as for the club. A total of twelve new players were incorporated to the first squad, and the youth team got a lot of new players as well as new trainers for each division. The first squad began the Apertura 2011 with seven victories in a row, and ended the first round of the tournament in the first position. The alternative team, the reserve, also had a good performance in its internal tournament. A very important fact of this new era of the Olimpia, is that number of active fan members of the club was triplicated just in three months, and that they are still increasing because of the team's great performance.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}} But then again, in the second round of the tournament, a dispute emerged among the chairman, the coach and some of the players, as Marcelo Recanate accused them of "not giving all his finest efforts in the field". The rage remained until the final matches, when Nery Pumpido resigned. Mauro Caballero and Virginio Caceres took the lead and obtained the second place in the tournament.

On December 18, 2011, Olimpia obtained its 39th national league title by winning the [[2011 Paraguayan Primera División season|2011 Clausura]] after eleven years, the longest period without obtaining a national championship.<ref>Olimpia end 11-year wait for Paraguayan title win&nbsp;– https://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=reu-latamparaguay_pix&nbsp;–{{Dead link|date=July 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Yahoo Sports, December 18, 2011</ref> The title came after defeating [[Club Rubio Ñu|Rubio Ñu]] 2–1 at the [[Estadio Defensores del Chaco]] and finishing three points ahead of Cerro Porteño. The title was largely celebrated by energetic fans on the streets of Asuncion and nearby cities due to the way it was won with Olimpia having only a one-point lead over rivals Cerro until the last matchday. Other reasons why it was an unexpected title are that Olimpia had lost many key players to injuries, internal arguments with Chairman Recanate (later solved) and heavy criticism by other teams's fans about controversial calls made in favor of Olimpia.

Olimpia participated in the [[2012 Copa Libertadores]] and [[2012 Copa Sudamericana|Copa Sudamericana]] as the "number one competitor" of Paraguay. However, their campaigns in both cups were underwhelming, as they were eliminated in the group stage and second round respectively.

In the 2012 Apertura Olimpia finished in second place in the [[2012 Paraguayan Primera División season|Primera División]], and qualified for the [[2013 Copa Libertadores]] along with the two other big teams of Paraguay, Cerro Porteño and [[Club Libertad|Libertad]]. They had a great performance there, defeating two other major teams in the knockout stages, [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]] and [[Independiente Santa Fe|Santa Fe]]. They reached the finals for the seventh time, a feat which no Brazilian or Colombian team have been able to achieve. However, they lost to [[Clube Atlético Mineiro|Atlético Mineiro]] in [[Mineirão]] 0–2 after winning 2–0 in Asunción and lost the penalty shootout 4–3, with [[Matías Giménez]]'s penalty hitting the crossbar, ending the dream of a fourth title.<ref>{{Cite web|date=July 24, 2013|title=Histórico!

==Rivalries==
Olimpia's most traditional rival is [[Cerro Porteño]]. For more than nine decades these two teams represented the "[[Paraguayan football derby|Super Clásico]]" ([[Local derby|super classic]]) of Paraguayan football. Other "clásicos" of Paraguayan football in which Olimpia takes part are the ones against [[Club Guaraní|Guaraní]],<ref>[http://www.clubguarani.com.py/content/view/482/225/ Preparandose para el clásico mas añejo] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141218195312/http://www.clubguarani.com.py/content/view/482/225/ |date=December 18, 2014 }}&nbsp;– Club Guarani Website</ref> which is called "el clásico más añejo", (meaning "the oldest derby" ) because they were the first two teams in Paraguay, and against [[Club Libertad|Libertad]] (Black and White derby). Olimpia also has a very strong rivalry against Club Sportivo Luqueño from the neighboring city of Luque.
