History
Foundation
Olimpija Ljubljana was founded on 2 March 2005
as NK Bežigrad,
and was renamed NK Olimpija Bežigrad during their third season.
The club was renamed again to ŠD NK Olimpija Ljubljana on 3 March 2008 after being granted the rights by the

The club regard themselves as the continuation of the four-times Slovenian Champions
Olimpija, who went bankrupt and were dissolved following the
2004–05 season.
Legally, Olimpija Ljubljana is a distinct and separate club and treated as such by the

.
Because of their association with the dissolved club, Olimpija Ljubljana was criticised on numerous occasions by several media outlets, which questioned the legitimacy of their actions and even the fact that the club has a year 1911 inscribed on their crest.
They were also criticised by

.
In 2013, the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia publicly disclosed the list of tax debtors in the country and among those was also NK Olimpija Ljubljana, with a tax debt between €100,000 and €300,000.
The next day, Olimpija Ljubljana's officials made a public statement where they confirmed that the club in question (i.e. dissolved Olimpija) is a different legal entity and is not, by any means, connected with Olimpija Ljubljana which does not have any financial obligations to the state or any third parties.
Early years (2005–2009)
Assisted by semi-retired club legends of the old Olimpija and other notable Slovenian players, the club started to compete in the lowest tier of Slovenian football and won the fifth division in their first year. In the next two seasons, Bežigrad was promoted to the
Slovenian Second League

, that he is in fact the sole owner of the Olimpija name and brand. During the 2008–09 season, the club changed their name once again, this time to Olimpija Ljubljana. In the same season, the club won the second division title and earned a promotion to the
Slovenian top division. Throughout the path to the top division, Olimpija was supported by
Green Dragons, the fan group of the dissolved Olimpija. The success of the club, who earned a promotion from the fifth division to top division in only four seasons, was somewhat dented by a conflict between several players, coaching staff, club leadership and sponsors, which eventually led to a player-led boycott in the final round of the
2008–09 second division season.
Due to this event, the club began their first season in Slovenian top flight (
2009–10) with a two points deduction.
In addition, several notable players, including

Promotion to Slovenian top division (2009–2015)
For their first ever 1. SNL campaign, several players were signed to replace the recent departures, along with a new coach,

Rivalry
Olimpija's biggest rivalry is with

, against whom they contest the
Eternal derby (). The rivalry is a continuation of the
original Eternal derby, contested by Maribor and the
defunct Olimpija, which folded and was dissolved in 2005.
The rivalry dates back to the early 1960s and the time of Yugoslavia, when the first match between the two clubs was played.
The rivalry reached its peak in the last round of the
2000–01 season, when Olimpija met Maribor at their home stadium,
Bežigrad. Olimpija needed a win for the title, while a draw was enough for Maribor. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, and Maribor won its fifth consecutive title.
The additional intensity of the rivalry is the fact that both Maribor and Olimpija have always had the support of the
ultras

groups called
Viole Maribor, supporting Maribor, and
Green Dragons, who support Olimpija. The two groups are the largest in the country, and it is not uncommon for matches between the two clubs to sometimes be interrupted due to violent clashes between the fans or with the police.
Since most of the fans of the defunct Olimpija support the new Olimpija, many see the matches between Maribor and the new club as a continuation of the rivalry and call it by the same name. The first match between Maribor and the new Olimpija took place on 24 October 2007 in a Slovenian Cup
quarter-final match, which Maribor won 3–1.
At the time, Olimpija still competed under the name Olimpija Bežigrad.
