Olimpia is the most successful football team in Honduras, having won 30 domestic league titles since it was founded in 1912, the latest being the 2015–16 Apertura & Clausura season.

Olimpia is also the first team to win the Domestic Cup, known as "Copa Presidente," in 2015.

The following year the team repeated, beating teams: Independiente de San Pedro Sula, Tela Railroad, CD Honduras and El Progreso (Fortuna Columbus Department representative).

In 1959, Olimpia won the tri-national championship. In the subsequent two years, Olimpia continued its dominance both at departmental and national levels. Players like "Furia" Solis, Rolin Castillo, Ricardo "Chendo" Rodriguez and others became fixtures.

For the 1963–64 School Sports Federation tournament changed and became a Regional tournament in which teams would be eliminated by zone. On December 14, 1963, Olimpia defeated Chorotega of Choluteca 10–0 and Amapala Liberia 3–2.

The national championships sponsored by the Sports Federation-School ended with the 1964 season â€“ 65.

Club Rivalries

ClĂĄsico Nacional

El ClĂĄsico Nacional (The National Classic) is a Honduran National derby played between C.D. Olimpia and Marathon. The derby receives the "national" adjective more because of a geographic matter (Olimpia is from Tegucigalpa and MarathĂłn is from San Pedro Sula, the biggest cities of the country) than for a football or rivalry matter. Olimpia won its first national title in September 1928. At that time C.D. Olimpia (representing the central zone of the country) won a final series of three matches against Marathon, champion of the northern league. Following this result, a big rivalry began between these two teams.

The Clasico Capitalino (Capital's Classic) is played between C.D.Olimpia and C.D. Motagua. Their matches are also known as the Clasico Local (Local Classic). There is a huge rivalry between the clubs and their fans; (La Ultra Fiel [of Olimpia] and La Revo [of Motagua]). Some people claim that this is the real National Derby because Olimpia and Motagua are the first and second Honduran teams with more titles. Additionally, matches between Olimpia and Marathon do not generate the same expectations and polemics as matches between Olimpia and Motagua do.

ClĂĄsico Moderno (Honduras)

El Clåsico Moderno (The Modern Derby) also referred by some as the Clasico Moderno Hondureño is a Honduran football match played at least 4 times a year in the Honduran Liga Nacional and consists of two teams, C.D. Olimpia and Real España.

Reserve team

Olimpia has a reserve team named Olimpia Reservas that currently plays in Liga de Ascenso de Honduras. This is where young players can improve their skills before they can be ready to play in the top division. Like all the other reserves teams in Liga de Ascenso, Olimpia Reservas can't be promoted to the higher level even if they win the championship.
