Olympiacos today – Monday, March 10 – celebrates 100 years of glorious history, with the Piraeus club’s leader, Evangelos Marinakis, sending his own poignant message on the birthday of the storied port city’s team.
“100 years full of games, victories and trophies in Greece and Europe; fairytale-like triumphs,” the Olympiacos FC owner underlined in his message, while adding: “Victories and trophies make us even stronger; difficulties and adversity make us invincible. We raise the red-and- white jerseys and celebrate our great love together! Happy Birthday Legend!”
Evangelos Marinakis’ message:
“It has been a century since the laurel-crowned youth took his first breath. 100 years full of games, victories and trophies in Greece and Europe; fairytale-like triumphs. The team and its heroes became a symbol of the working class and life’s winners – a symbol that became a LEGEND.
“The biggest social group in the country, Olympiacos’ unyielding people, celebrate the birthday of the OLYMPIACOS ASSOCIATION OF PIRAEUS SPORTSMEN (OSFP), and together we dream of the century to come.
“Victories and trophies make us even stronger. Difficulties and adversity make us INVINCIBLE.
With faith, courage and hard work we will continue to make the Club even greater, as it’s already among the elite of European football while at the same time being the leading multi-sport club in Europe in all sports.
“OLYMPIACOS advances with its sacred red-and-white flag, with Piraeus and Greece to the ends of the earth – and will continue to do so.
“The Club stands next to society with its contributions and next to anyone in need and will continue to do so even more vigorously in the future.
“We raise the red-and-white jerseys and celebrate our great love together!
“Happy Birthday Legend!
“Long live the OLYMPIACOS ASSOCIATION OF PIRAEUS SPORTSMEN”.
