History
Olympic FC was founded in 1967 by Greek immigrants, under the name Pan Rhodian Soccer Club, affiliated with Queensland Soccer Association. The following year the club joined the Queensland Soccer Federation, changing its name to Brisbane Olympic United as a condition of joining the federation. The club colours were originally blue and white until changing to red and white in the late 2000s. In 2008, the club again changed its name to Olympic FC upon joining the Queensland State League (QSL). After playing in the QSL in 2008 and 2009, the club elected to play in the Brisbane Premier League for the 2010 season.
The Queensland State League was ultimately superseded by the National Premier Leagues competition. In 2013, Olympic FC was awarded a licence to compete in the inaugural Queensland National Premier Leagues season, a recognition of the club's stature in the state. The NPL is Australia's second highest footballing tier.
The team's colors, blue and white, symbolize their pride and heritage, while their home ground, the Brisbane Olympic Sports Centre, provides a vibrant atmosphere for fans and players alike. The club has a reputation for its passionate supporters, who create an electric environment during matches, showcasing their unwavering loyalty.
Brisbane Olympic FC has enjoyed considerable success over the years, including multiple league titles and cup victories, which have solidified its status as one of the leading clubs in Queensland soccer. The club emphasizes a strong youth development program, aiming to nurture the next generation of soccer stars while promoting the values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
With a focus on both competitive excellence and community engagement, Brisbane Olympic FC continues to inspire soccer enthusiasts and contribute to the growth of the sport in Australia. Whether on the pitch or in the stands, the spirit of Brisbane Olympic FC is a testament to the passion and dedication of its players, staff, and supporters.
