There is a fine line in the debate of old soccer versus new football. Over the next five years, the former national giant Sydney Olympic, formerly of ‘old soccer’, is set to build upon its already wide supporter base and ensure the survival of the club in a bold attempt to prove they deserve to return to the highest level of the game in Australia.

With dwindling A–League crowds, it’s the former “ethnic” clubs like Olympic who are striving to step up and become the national powerhouses they once were.

After 53 years in the Australian footballing landscape, this iconic club is going through a rejuvenation process in an attempt to reconnect with all its fans and rekindle the love they have.

The two time national champions, who have produced and exported superstars such as Tim Cahill, Jason Cullina and Brett Emerton, are working tirelessly around clock to return to the pinnacle of Australian football.

All the early indicators point to the fact that Sydney Olympic, the two time NSL champions and powerhouse of Australian football, are slowly returning to its glory days.

And the FFA cannot deny that old soccer is the new football.
