Olympiacos

What Olympiacos does

Olympiacos FC S.A. (ΠΑΕ Ολυμπιακός) is a Greek professional football club founded in 1925 in Piraeus, operating as a Société Anonyme under Greek law and privately controlled by Evangelos Marinakis. It competes in the Stoiximan Super League, the Greek Cup, the Greek Super Cup, and UEFA club competitions (Champions League, Europa League, Conference League), and operates a multi-sport footprint that includes a basketball team reaching the 2026 EuroLeague Final Four. Its core on-pitch offering is elite men's football played at the 32,000-seat Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, supported by a training centre in Rentis and an Academy/Schools network with locations across Greece and Cairo. The club is the most decorated in Greek football history, holding 48 league titles and 29 Greek Cups, and was the first Greek club to win a senior UEFA competition (Conference League, 2023-24).

Revenue is generated through a mix of matchday (season tickets and individual match sales, including accessibility sections, via more.com), merchandising (Red Store at the stadium and shopflix.gr online), broadcasting (domestic Stoiximan Super League and UEFA central distribution), and commercial partnerships. The commercial portfolio is anchored by Stoiximan as main sponsor (naming rights of the Greek Super League, extended to 2028) and Adidas as kit supplier (new 2026/27 home kit launch), with a tier of additional corporate sponsors including Vodafone Greece, Piraeus Bank, Coca-Cola Greece, Opel, Heron/DEI, Europe Asfalistiki, Everest, Replay, Flexcar, BOX, Medicine Group Athens, and Shopflix. The club's digital surface spans a multilingual website (Greek, English, French, Spanish), Olympiacos TV, the Olympiacos Museum, online ticketing, an email newsletter, and an extensive social presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Viber, and WhatsApp.

Operationally, the club is part of a multi-club ownership structure alongside Nottingham Forest FC (also owned by Marinakis), which has required UEFA compliance measures including board restructuring and placing Marinakis's shares in a blind trust when both clubs qualify for the same European competition. The current head coach is José Luis Mendilibar (Europa League winner with Sevilla in 2023). The club's strategic direction is centred on continued European progression, sponsor portfolio expansion, and youth development — evidenced by the 2024-25 UEFA Youth League title and the Christos Mouzakitis Golden Boy Web 2025 award — while navigating ownership-level legal exposure (Marinakis criminal proceedings in Greece and a pending UK High Court libel claim).
