Piraeus derby

Add article description

The Piraeus derby, is an association football and water polo rivalry between Ethnikos Piraeus and Olympiacos, the 2 teams representing the city of Piraeus, Greece.

Quick Facts Location, Teams ...

Ethnikos was founded on November 21, 1923, while Olympiacos was founded on March 10, 1925.

Olympiacos has never been relegated in football while Ethnikos has 4 relegations from the first division (1990, 1992, 1996, 1999)

In water polo Olympiacos has never been relegated while Ethnikos has been relegated twice (2009, 2012)

Once a major derby, since Olympiacos' dominance the derby has lost importance over the years, however the rivalry still exists as the poaching of players and the ownership of the stadium still remain a point of contention.

Although the importance of the derby has declined in football, the rivalry is still very much alive in other sports, especially water polo.

History

Football

Since the two clubs were established in the mid-1920s, Ethnikos' traditional local rival has been Olympiacos CFP, one of the two most popular and successful multi-sport clubs in Greece along with Panathinaikos.^[1]^[2]

While a legitimate rivalry between Ethnikos and Olympiacos still exists in water polo (Ethnikos Piraeus Water Polo Club has won the most Greek water polo championships of any club, while Olympiacos Water Polo Club has won the second-most),^[3] that is no longer the case in football.

Ethnikos and Olympiacos F.C. were more or less evenly matched and had great battles for Piraeus supremacy in the 1920s and 1930s,^[4] but thereafter Olympiacos became increasingly more powerful and successful and began to pass Ethnikos by.

In 1956, Olympiacos won the championship with Ethnikos finishing second meaning the first and only time in which the top two positions in the league were occupied by Piraeus's teams.

One of Ethnikos's most important wins (if not the most important) is the semifinal win in the 1932-33 Greek Cup when he beat Olympiacos 2–1 in a knockout match.

Ethnikos was relegated in 1990 to the second division, a sad moment for the club who was never relegated since its foundation in 1923. Nevertheless, Olympiacos fans celebrated it.

Along the way, Olympiacos developed a habit for luring Ethnikos' best players, like Greece men's national football team players Philippos Kourantis in the late 1920s, Giannis Chelmis in the late 1930s and Giannis Ioannou in the early 1950s.^[5] This habit continued in the later decades with Christos Arvanitis, Tasos Mitropoulos, Stavros Papadopoulos, Thomas Rohrbach.

In 1956–57 Olympiacos was seemingly behind a scandal that robbed Ethnikos of the national championship. Ethnikos was favorite for the title with 4 matches left in the season, and had the derby with Olympiacos next on the schedule; but before the derby arrived Ethnikos was dubiously disqualified from the competition. With Ethnikos out of the way Olympiacos ultimately took the Championship.^[4]

In 1973, Ethnikos lost the great Michalis Kritikopoulos to Olympiacos, just a year before Ethnikos mounted its greatest challenge for the national championship in the modern era; many Ethnikos fans feel that if they still had Kritikopoulos, the team would have managed to hold on to 1st place rather than run out of gas in the second half of the 1974–75 season.^[5]

Olympiacos ultimately became the dominant football club in Greece, having won the League and Cup more than any other club,^[1]^[2] and Ethnikos has not been able to seriously compete with them for decades. Ethnikos has not defeated Olympiacos in a league match since the 1985–86 season and has not finished above Olympiacos in the league standings since the 1987–88 season.

In the 1990s, when Olympiacos was experiencing probably the greatest era of its history while Ethnikos was suffering through what was surely its worst, Ethnikos lost some of its fanbase to Olympiacos.

A recent point of contention for Ethnikos fans has to do with Karaiskakis Stadium. Karaiskakis is the traditional home of both Olympiacos and Ethnikos,^[6] but only Olympiacos has played there since the stadium was rebuilt for use in the 2004 Summer Olympics.^[7]

Head to Head

Football

Olympiacos's biggest win is 5–0 twice (1966, 1968) while Ethnikos's is 4–2 twice (1929, 1939)

Since 1960 and the introduction of A' Ethniki, Olympiakos won 53 times, Ethnikos 4 times and 15 matches ended as a draw.

Last win for Ethnikos is in 1986 in Olympic Stadium (2–0) while Olympiacos's is the last match they played each other in 1999 (0–3 for Olympiacos).

More information Team, Best finish ...

Bold indicates that the year in which the rival team finished second.

Out of the 35 championships that Olympiacos has won, in 11 (1927, 1933, 1934, 1949, 1952, 1971, 1992, 1995, 2005, 2007, 2008) of them Ethnikos came second.

Out of the 38 championships that Ethnikos has won, in 20 of them (1953, 1959, 1960, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1994, 2006) Olympiacos came second.

Ethnikos has the longest streak of winning championships (18 in a row) out of all the other team sports. Specifically, Ethnikos was the champion of Greece from 1953 to 1970. He lost the title in 1971 to Olympiacos but he started a new streak from 1972 to 1985 (14 in a row). Since 1986, the club has won only 3 championships (1988, 1994, 2006).

Olympiacos had 8 championships already in 1952, when Ethnikos had only 3 but from 1953 to 1991, the club won only 2 titles. Since 1992 the club has dominated the Greek championship with 26 out of the last 31 titles. Right now Olympiacos is on streak of 10 in a row.

In European level, Ethnikos was the first team to reach the Final-Four of the LEN Champions League in 1980. He finished 4th in Europe. Ethnikos's women's team has 1 European trophy, the 2010 LEN Trophy. The club did not manage to win the LEN Super Cup that year and lost to another Greek club, Vouliagmeni

Olympiacos has been European champion twice in 2002 and 2018. He beat Honvéd in 2002 and Pro Recco in 2018. In both occasions, Olympiacos was crowned champion in the country of the finalist team. The club has been finalist three times (2001, 2016, 2019). Olympiacos also has 1 LEN Super Cup in men's water polo. Olympiacos women's team has been crowned European champions twice (2015, 2021). In addition, the club has two lost finals (2017, 2019) but has won the 2014 LEN Trophy and the 2015 LEN Super Cup.

Olympiacos has finished above Ethnikos in the league 45 times compared to Ethnikos's 42.

In the Greek cup, Ethnikos has 12 trophies, 4 of them, came after beating Olympiacos in the final.

Olympiacos has 23 trophies and has beaten Ethnikos twice.
