Club Olimpia is a Paraguayan sports club based in the city of Asunción. The club promotes the practice of various sports with most importance given to the football and basketball sides, the former being the highest priority and most successful. They were founded on July 25, 1902 by a group of young Paraguayans, and the name stems from the idea of its principal founding member, William Paats, a Dutchman based in Paraguay, who is considered the father of Paraguayan football for having introduced the practice of the sport in the South America country. Olimpia are the most decorated institution in Paraguayan football with 39 domestic titles to date. ''El Decano'' or ''Rey de Copas'', as they are popularly known, also holds the record of winning six consecutive Primera division titles, the only club to have achieved a ''hexacampeonato''. Olimpia hold eight international titles, among which three Copa Libertadores and one Intercontinental Cup. It is the only Paraguayan club to have won official CONMEBOL tournaments, and it is also one of only two clubs in history to have earned an international cup despite not playing in it. In 1990 Olimpia won the Copa Libertadores and the Supercopa Libertadores, meaning they won the Recopa Sudamericana automatically. In 1979 they achieved the rare feat, so far limited to an exclusive set of clubs, of winning all possible official titles on offer that year. They completed ''the quadruple'' by winning the Paraguayan championship, Copa Libertadores, the Copa Interamericana and Intercontinental Cup. As the club with the most national championships and the only Paraguayan side to win official international titles, Olimpia is considered the most successful club in the country, and is also recognized by FIFA as one of the world’s ‘classic’ clubs. It is also one of best supported clubs in the country and, for several years, has seen the highest attendance figures at their games. Olimpia disputes the Paraguayan football derby (clásico) with Cerro Porteño, the two institutions maintain a historic rivalry which is considered one of the more traditional South American clásicos. Against Guaraní they play the "clásico añejo" (Old Derby) and also the "black and white derby" with Libertad. The football team plays its home games at the Estadio Manuel Ferreira, also known as "El Bosque" (The Forest) and "Para Uno". Basketball and other sports, have their own sports centre named after former president Osvaldo Dominguez Dibb in the same site as the stadium in the suburb of Mariscal López. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Club Olimpia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
