Olimpia was Liga Nacional de Básquetbol finalist in 1995 and won the title the next year. The roster for that season was: Alejandro Montecchia, Walter Guiñazú, Federico Helale, Jorge Racca, Leonardo Gutiérrez, Lucas Victoriano, Sebastián Uranga, Todd Jadlow, Andrés Rodríguez, Carlos López Jordan, Alejandro Burgos, Michael Wilson. The team was coached by Horacio Seguí and Jorge Racca was named MVP. That same year, Olimpia also won the Liga Sudamericana.
Nevertheless, the club then entered into a crisis due to financial problems. By 2009, Olimpia had a debt of $1,5 million[1] and due to that critical situation the basketball team disaffiliated from the Liga Nacional.
