Biography
Formation
Club Olimpia, the oldest football team in Paraguay, was founded on July 25, 1902, in Asunción by Dutchman William Paats and a group of Paraguayan enthusiasts including Sila Godoi and Fernando S. Pascual. The club's inception was inspired by a match organized by Paats among his students, which ignited a passion for sports in the region. The name "Olimpia" was chosen to honor the Greek city of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The original kit featured a black shirt with the word "Olimpia" emblazoned in white, evolving over time to include a white shirt with a horizontal black stripe as the team's colors.
Early Years and Success
Olimpia quickly established itself in Paraguayan football, winning its first national championship in 1912, just six years after the Paraguayan Football Association was formed. The club has since become synonymous with success in the Paraguayan Primera División, consistently competing at the highest level and earning numerous titles. Throughout its history, Club Olimpia has also expanded its focus to include other sports such as rugby and basketball, although football remains the most prominent and successful aspect of the club's identity.
Legacy
With a rich history and a legacy of excellence, Club Olimpia has become a cornerstone of Paraguayan sports culture. The club's achievements in both domestic and international competitions have solidified its status as a powerhouse in South American football, making it a beloved institution among fans and a source of pride for the nation.

Career & Clubs
Foundation
On November 23, 1901, before the formation of Club Olimpia, William Paats organized a first match between two teams of his students which then made young people to be eager to develop a sport team in Paraguay. Olimpia was founded on July 25, 1902, being the oldest football team in Paraguay. The club was founded by Dutchman William Paats, along with Paraguayans Sila Godoi, Fernando S. Pascual, José E. Torres, Gustavo M. Crovatto, Héctor Cabañas, Juan Rodi, Antonio Pedraza, Luis Marecos, Juan Mara and Genaro Gutiérrez Yegros. The act of foundation was written in the Rodi's family home, located in the streets of Azara and Independencia Nacional in downtown Asunción, Paraguay. That evening, three names for the club were suggested: Paraguay, Esparta and Olimpia. The final decision came to William Paats who chose "Club Olimpia" as the team official name, in honor of the Greek city of Olympia where the Olympic Games were born. The original kit was composed of a black shirt with the word "Olimpia" written in white across the chest and white shorts. Later, white and black were adopted as the colours for the team, with a white shirt with a horizontal black stripe. The alternate jersey is black with a white stripe, though in 2008 the stripe is vertical.
