History
Historical context and verified seasons Olimpia was listed among the clubs competing in Uruguay’s 1927 reunited championship and in the 1931 league season. The historical club must be treated under its period-specific name, rather than automatically assigned to a modern successor. Ernesto Mascheroni was registered with Olimpia for Uruguay’s 1930 World Cup. Because the championship was not played in 1930, this tournament connection does not establish a complete 1930 competitive-season roster. Further research on institutional mergers, grounds and successor identities must be sourced before such links become canonical.
