Olympiacos F.C. Youth Academy is the football academy system of Greek professional football club Olympiacos F.C. consisting of six official youth teams (Under-10, Under-13, Under-14, Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19), based on the young athletes' age.[1] In April 2024, the Olympiacos Youth U-19 team won, for the first time, the UEFA Youth League Championship 2023–24.
Other age-based youth teams (e.g. Under-8) are also part of the academy, however they do not appear as official youth teams. Olympiacos' U-15, U-17 and U-20 teams all play in Greek Superleague's youth competitions (Super League U-15, U-17 and U-19 respectively), while the U19 team is a regular participant in the UEFA Youth League, winning the title in 2023–24. The latter also featured in the NextGen Series, reaching the quarter-finals of the competition.
