Wellington Olympic AFC

2016-2017

In 2016 Wellington Olympic Women's came on to the scene, starting in Division 3 with Coach Nathan Greig, supported by Spiros Androutsos, taking on a massive role to bring a team together.

By the end of the first half of the season, the team had been promoted to Division 2 having gone through unbeaten in Division 3, finishing the season second on the table by one point, a promotion to Division 1, and a phenomenal season.

2017 was not to see a continuation of our success as the majority of the 2016 college students headed off to Universities around New Zealand and the team suffered without the speed and fitness the younger players brought to the game and with the playing numbers dwindled, the team disbanded at the end of that season.

OLYMPIC WOMEN'S ARE BACK!

After a five year hiatus, the Women's registered a new team in 2022 with the hard work of Ariana Kotrotsos and Dad, Paul to pull a team together. The members had a great season, and although the results did not reflect how well they did nor how much they improved from their first kickoff.

We're thrilled that our ladies are back for another season, and we're looking for more exciting and entertaining football from this great team.

In icy conditions at Wakefield Park, Olympic's Women's team took the field for their catch-up game against the Naenae Dragonflies.

Having suffered a close loss the previous Sunday to the LHFC Reserves, our ladies were hungry for their first win that had painfully eluded them to date.

With their loyal supporters to push them on, Olympic dominated the game early and never let up. With three goals netted in the first half and no response from Naenae, the team were already in a celebratory mood.

The second half had Olympic change into higher gear as they slotted goal after goal. Naenae remained competitive but this was definitely Olympic's time to shine and finally put those three precious points on the table with a massive 11-1 win to finish the game. WELL DONE OLYMPIC!
