In 1979, local identity Jim Fkiarias came up with the idea of creating a soccer club to represent the rapidly expanding Greek community in the Latrobe Valley.
He then approached a group of friends and a meeting of other interested people in the community took place to develop a proposal at the Greek Orthodox Church in Morwell.
The club was almost immediately successful, winning the league in the first and second seasons - signalling the arrival of a new force in football in the Latrobe Valley.
Finishing as runner up in 2017 and 2019, Olympians returned as a force to be reckoned with, as Traralgon's population boom added to the club's support beyond the Greek community.
