History

Founded in October 1993 by a group of football enthusiasts, the club will attempt a successful run at the Premier League trophy in its first appearance in the joint[3] Premier League during the 2009/10 season.

FK Olimpic Sarajevo played in Premier League on several occasions and every time, but in seasons 2000/01 and 2001/02, they were relegated to the lower divisions. Later the club would plummet even further to lower leagues, but would rise again. With the coming of Nijaz Gracić and Husref Musemić in 2006, the club would develop a comprehensive plan to reach back to Premier League and compete at the highest level of Bosnian football. By placing first during 2008/09 season competing in First League of FBiH, Olimpic achieved this goal and started the 2009/10 season as the newly promoted club in Premier League. In session 2010-11 Olimpic barely missed the spot for the qualifying phase of Europe League, finishing 5th. In the ongoing 2011-12 session they played pretty bad in the first two matches (one draw and one lose, although being candidates for the top places of the table) of the championship, resulting in a mutual agreement between the club and manager for a managerial change, with Mehmed Janjoš being replaces by his assistant Nedim Jusufbegović.[4]

Name

The idea to name the club Olimpic came from the fact that city of Sarajevo was the host city to the 1984 Winter Olympics. Olimpic's nickname The Wolves is also linked to the 1984 Winter Olympics by way of the Olympics' mascot Vučko (English: Wolfie; pronounced in Bosnian: "voo-ch-ko").

Stadium

Olimpic play their home games at Stadion Otoka, a 5,000-seat venue located in the Otoka neighborhood of Sarajevo.

For the 2009–10 season Olimpic planned to host home games at the Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium while their home ground goes through a $5 million modernization which would satisfy UEFA regulations and increase capacity from 5,000 to 7,200 seats.[5] However, Olimpic played their home games at Stadion Grbavica instead.[6]
