History
Olimpia was Liga Nacional de Básquetbol finalist in 1995 and won the title the next year.

The team was coached by Horacio Seguí and Jorge Racca was named MVP. That same year, Olimpia also won the Liga Sudamericana.
Nevertheless, the club then entered into a crisis due to financial problems. By 2009, Olimpia had a debt of $1,5 million and due to that critical situation the basketball team disaffiliated from the Liga Nacional.
