History

edit

In 2017–18 season, which was the first after its reorganization, Olympiacos won the domestic double. They won the Greek Handball Championship by beating AEK Athens with 3–2 wins in the finals in a dramatic fashion, as they overturned an initial 0–2 win by AEK and took three straight wins to secure the League title.[1] They also won the Greek Cup, beating PAOK in the semi-final and ASE Douka in the final to complete the domestic Double.[2] On 10 September 2022, Olympiacos lifted the Greek Super Cup after winning AESH Pylaia in the final.[3][4]
