Tuan Olympic Football Club or simply Tuan Olympic was a professional football club based on the Tuan Island of the Davinson Islands. The club was the oldest professional football club in the islands and was the oldest running one too, the club also fielded a rugby section which competed in the Davinson Premiership. The soccer section played its games in the Tuan Island Stadium which had been the historical home of the section for years.
Being the oldest club on the islands, the Olympians were known as the most popular club in the country as its fanbase was passed on from generation to generation. Most of the club's home games were usually packed and full as the local residents cram to enter the Tuan Island Stadium to watch their games.
History
Founded as Tuan Brothers Football CLUB by Harvey Kingsman, Jamal Nwhab and James Roland in 1886, the club was the first proper established football club on the islands and was responsible for creating and managing tournaments during the island's early days. The team founded the Tuan Island Football League and sent their First XI to compete in the competition, the team however falled short of the league winners by 1 point and lost the first edition of the tournament as favourites. The team would then be given a spot in the lower divisions when the Davinson Islands Football Governing Body (now Davinson Islands Football Federation) was founded, the soccer section's First XI spent most of their best years in the lower leagues and never really challenged for promotion.
The team is best known for its Davinson Island Cup triumph which saw the team go undefeated in all rounds of the competition, winning the cup as underdogs against favourites Redmayne FC. The team was then inactive and participated in 7-aside tournaments around the islands for fun as they lacked funding.
The Olympians made their return to professional football ahead of the 2021 A-Division season, returning to the top flight after 100 years.
The club won the 2023 edition of the Davinson Cup, defeating Tuan FC in injury time.
Rivalries
Tuan FC
The Olympians' arch rivals were the Big Islanders as they both were commonly known as the "Big 2" due to their historical past and their trophy record. The rivalry was called the Le Classique as it was the most watched game of the season, home or away. The stadiums were packed to the brim and players would fight with all they can to bring glory to their side. The derby usually included a lot of fights, brawls and a number of derogatory chants despite both sets of clubs trying to distance themselves away from such language.
Facilities
Tuan Olympic was the only football team to own a stadium, being the Tuan Island Stadium. The team trained and played there as it was their own stadium. They shared the stadium in the past with rivals Tuan FC as they were stadiumless.
