The Legend of Haemus
editAlthough most people ignore it, Olympiacos football team do have felt the taste of a glorious trophy by surpassing traditional european multisport powerhouses in 1963 Balkans Cup. It is indicative that the participating clubs of that particular competition have participated so far in 131 european finals in 23 different sections and 13 sports, winning 65 european titles:

*With these dizzying numbers of such great sport societies, Piraeus, Constantinople, Sofia, Bucuresti, Sarajevo & Brasov hold a significant place in european sports. After all, this by coincidence high level competition could easily be paralleled to the football tournament of Olympic Games, but for Clubs. Since big international multisport schools competed each other in football.
Back in 1963, an era where the clubs-giants took their first steps in the european scene, Olympiacos had already been laurel-crowned internationally, just in their 14th official european game and 8th abroadly:

Unsurprisingly, this team's effort was reinforced by club's 1969 silver european boot and greatest scorer of all time Giorgos Sideris, who also scored the most goals in the competition.
It is remarkable that the above Clubs have been confronted quite a few times when something big was at stake[4]. Ιndicatively, some important matches follow:
- ^ Brasov were the defending champions of the Balkans Cup that year.
- ^ Dinamo Tiranna -a club with sections in football, basketball & volleyball- would run up to the 1969 Balkans Cup final shortly after.
- ^ This match was played before the decisive 3rd Final against Levski in Constantinople.
- ^ Not only. Clubs have been also confronted in the initial rounds of european competitions many times in foot-ball, basket-ball, volley-ball etc.
