Olympiacos Women's Basketball is the women's basketball department of the major Greek multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus. The department was initially founded in 1947, being one of the best women's basketball clubs in Greece during the 1950s and the early 1960s, when they won 3 Women's Division Center Championships (1956, 1958, 1959), which was the most important competition of Greek women’s basketball at the time (until 1967–68 when the Greek Women's Basketball League was officially organized).[1] The department was dissolved in the mid-1960s and after a long period of inactivity, it was reorganized in 2015,[2][3][4] creating a strong team with a roster based on Greek international players.[5] In 2015–16 season, which was the first after its reorganization, Olympiacos won the double undefeated; they won the Greek League with 22 wins in 22 matches, sweeping arch-rivals Panathinaikos with 4–0 wins in the finals, and also clinched the Greek Cup title, beating Panathinaikos once again in the final (63–60). Olympiacos play their games at the 3,232-seat National Athletic Center "Makis Liougas" in Glyfada, Athens.[6]
