Accra Great Olympics is a Ghanaian professional football club based in Accra, Greater Accra. The club is currently competing in the Ghana Premier League.
Great Olympics was the first team to represent Ghana as a national side and indeed beat Togo 1-0 in that memorable match in1960.
Also it was the first team in the history of Ghana football to have an unbeaten run of 38 matches, - a standing record - and the first to engage a foreign coach in the person of Lowenstein from Germany.
It recalled that the Wonder Club was also the first to score the highest number of goals in any African soccer competition, beating MMM of Madagascar 7-0 in 1971.
The Wonder Club has during several seasons crowned its existence with laurels by winning the National League, Knockout and the Champion of Champions and in 1971, it participated in the Africa Clubs Championship, reaching the semi-final stage.
However, on the flip-side, Olympics has emerged as perhaps the only team that has experienced more upheavals than any other club in Ghana.
It catalogued the bleak side as the saga of who went to Tema, the unresolved confrontation that drove a section of the Club's hierarchy to break away to revive Accra Standfast, as a rival of Olympics, and the internal squabbles that split the club in recent times, leading to the formation of Olympiakos, now defunct.
