CROSS CITY RIVALS-THE ATHEN'S DERBY

2004 European Championship?? I remember it well. Greece, the "poor relations" in European Football, ruffled a few feathers in the tournament and were crowned European Champions. Olympiacos, pretty much the country's most famous and successful club, was founded on this day in 1925. Badge below.



Located in the Piraeus suburb, the club is known locally as Thyrlos, meaning "Legend". The club played against rivals, cross city, Panathinaikos ...........

......in the gloriously named city "Derby of the Eternal Enemies!" known locally as the "Mother of all Battles". 
Founded3 February 1908; 117 years ago as Football Club of Athens
Domestically, Olympiacos is the most successful club in Greece, having won a record 81 major official titles compared to Panathinaikos' 44 titles and also being the most successful in their head-to-head fixtures.
