Serving Our Soccer Community Since 1949
Olympia Football Club is a family of determined youngsters whose aim is to strike it gold by winning every game they play. The club was formed in 1948, but officially unveiled in 1949 by Dr. Ugo Giunchi. In 1951 the club was called Societa Sportiva Italiana officially changed its name to Italian Sporting Club. Since our establishment in 1949, we’ve had tremendous milestones. In 1959 we were promoted to the first division of STFA, and in 1964 we win the promotion to the National League under the guidance of Gino Ponte.
Hollywood Bets Mens Regional League
We are very proud to announce that Olympia Football Club in partnership with Brandon Barkhuizen, Daniel Cardoso, Keagen Ritchie and Brogen Sanders from DBK have acquired a Hollywood Bets Mens Regional League.
This came as a fantastic opportunity where we are able to elevate our club through this association and create a football club of excellence.
“Not only will this inspire and motivate our younger and junior teams to reach their full potential when they see they have a chance to play semi-professionally within the Hollywood Bets Mens Regional League, this will also strengthen the love of the game within our area”, says Olympia F.C’s Chairman, Giovanni Di Bendetto.
As a club we are very excited for this new venture and the opportunities it holds for the future.
