Fudbalski Klub Olimpik Sarajevo (English: Football Club Olimpik Sarajevo), commonly referred to as just Olimpik, is a professional football club from Sarajevo, based in the part of town which is called Otoka. Being one of the very first teams to be formed in independent Bosnia, they started off playing in the top tier right at the start of the club's formation in 1993, they currently play in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the country's top level league.
FK Olimpik's first prestigious trophy came in season 2014–15 when the club beat Široki Brijeg to win the Bosnian Cup.
The club was formed amidst the Bosnian War in October 1993 in Sarajevo. It all started when a few people came to the idea of founding a football club, not suspecting where it might end up, or in what direction it would go. Ramiz Krilašević, Šefkija, Edhem Okerić, Mustafa Ruvić, Suad Osmanagić and Sakib Trtić were the people who were with the club from the very start and the ones who helped organized equipment and kits for training. Everybody was aware of the fact that war was ongoing, and so it was very difficult to organize and begin "working". Work is within quotation marks simply because it was known that there were no fields to play upon, since half of the city was being showered in grenades daily, there were no competitions similar to the Premier League the way it is today. Even then the team began their trainings under the leadership of the coach Slobodan Rajević. And at the time the following players played at Olimpik: Kolar, Demirović, Subašić, Sužnjević, Ahmetagić, Muhović, Toromanović, Memišević, Tozo, Ćurt, Babić, Dogan, Salman, Smajović.
The team managed to conquer first place that year, 1993 when it was founded, in the Asim Ferhatović-Hase Memorial Cup in futsal. That very same year the cantonal competitions for the filling in of teams into the future Bosnian and Herzegovinian football leagues were played. FK Olimpik participated in the canton of Sarajevo, and managed to go on to the coming tier, after playing a total of 8 matches and making 28 goals while conceding only 1. So the team left the following year to compete in the inter-cantonal competitions in the group of Tuzla where they met opponents such as Sloboda (Tuzla), Gradina (Srebrenik), Turbina (Jablanica), FK Natron Maglaj (Maglaj) and Travnik (Travnik).
