Ramiz Krilašević, brothers Šefkija and 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.
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.
[2] And at the time the following players played at Olimpik were: Kolar, Demirović, Subašić, Sužnjević, Ahmetagić, Muhović, Toromanović, Memišević, Tozo, Ćurt, Babić, Dogan, Salman, Smajović.
[2] Olimpik participated in the Sarajevo Canton, and managed to go on to the coming tier, after playing a total of 8 matches and scoring 28 goals while conceding only 1.
The team managed in those two seasons, led by the trainers Boris Bračulj and after him Jusuf Čizmić, to carve out a spot in the newly merged league with the previous First league of Herceg Bosna, in which the team competed with a force equal to many other clubs who competed with them there, and in the last round of the season 2000–01 with a win against FK Sarajevo and the goals made by Gredić and Cerić, made sure they would remain in the elite for another year.
[2] The team consisted of the following players at the time: Alen Krak, Dženan Uščuplić, Almir Seferović, Nihad Suljević, Nihad Alić, Muamer Jahić, Samir Mekić, Emir Obuća, Almir Gredić, Tarik Cerić, Aner Ljeljak, Sead Bučan, Zajko Zeba, Elvir Ljubunčić, Ahmed Hadžispahić, Hasanović and Edis Čindrak.
What was stated earlier was being iterated again, that the club did not have a strategy nor vision of development and even if it had a good quality at the time for competition in the Bosnian top league, simply experienced relegation.
Timkov, Čakić, Močević, Kapetanović, Janjoš, Đuderija, Fatić, Garčević, Dudo, Derviši, Murtić, Ortaš, Suković, Šabotić, Kaljanac, Dević, Šišić, Kaljić, Imširović are just some of the players who wore the jersey of Olimpik back then.
Throughout this entire dark stage Kolar has been with the team as head of the coaching staff even if at times Asim Saračević and Samir Jahić would take the lead.
Even if many at that moment pronounced him to be Don Quixote in the struggle against windmills, mr. Gracić rolled up his sleeves and started slowly sorting the mosaic tiles with his collaborators.
[2] The players which were carriers of the game that year were: Bećirović, Žerić, Garčević, Radonja, Smječanin, Redžović, Makić, Toromanović, Kapetanović and Timkov.
Led by Faik Kolar with players who were added and Haznadar, Hondo, Sikima, Bubalo, Mešetović, Majčić and Ferhatović already in the autumn half of the season almost ensured a place in the FBiH.
In the subsequent season of 2011–12 they didn't play up to par in their first two matches (they had one draw and one loss, although being candidates for one of the top places of the table) of the championship, resulting in a mutual agreement between the club and manager for a managerial change, with Mehmed Janjoš being replaced by his assistant, Nedim Jusufbegović.
Due to this, the team has been on the verge to opt out of the league altogether,[11] much like FK Borac Banja Luka's own situation at the end of the season where complaints came aimed at the national association from several clubs.
[12][13] The teams between third and eighth position were all refused an UEFA license for participation in Europa League 2013–14, save for NK Široki Brijeg, and in the end HŠK Zrinjski Mostar were the ones to receive the final spot for the competition.
[14] FK Olimpik Sarajevo's colours are a dark shade of green coupled with white, although the jerseys which the players have are sometimes made in a third color, namely gold.
