Olimpo are an Argentine sports club located in the city of Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires province. Founded in 1918, their main sporting activities are basketball and football (soccer).
Being from Bahía Blanca, Argentina's basketball capital, most of Olimpo's associates and energies were orientated to that sport. However, by the late 1990s, Olimpo football team became increasingly important as they ascended along the national football categories, finally gaining promotion to the first division in the 2000s.
