Olympiacos Piraeus B.C. (Greek: ΚΑΕ Ολυμπιακός Σ.Φ.Π.), also known simply as Olympiacos, or with its full name Olympiacos SFP Basketball S.A., is a Greek professional basketball club, part of the major multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus. The basketball club, founded in 1931, is one of the most successful clubs in European basketball, having won three EuroLeague Championships, one Triple Crown, one Intercontinental Cup, twelve Greek Championships and nine Greek Cups. They are a traditional powerhouse of the EuroLeague and besides their three European Championship titles (1997, 2012, 2013), they have also been four times EuroLeague runners-up (1994, 1995, 2010, 2015) and have participated, altogether, in nine EuroLeague Final Fours (1994, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015). From 2006 to 2015, Olympiacos qualified 10 times in a row for at least the quarter-finals of the EuroLeague, which was an all-time record in European basketball history –shared with FC Barcelona–, until it was eventually surpassed by the Catalan club in 2016. They play their home matches at Peace and Friendship Stadium.
