Olympic Star Muyinga Football Club, commonly referred to as Olympic Star de Muyinga or simply as Olympic Star is a professional football club based in Muyinga, Burundi. The team currently plays in Ligue A, the top division of Burundi football.
It was founded in 1997 in the city of Muyinga and played for the first time in the top-flight of the Burundian football in 2005, after the introduction of the sixteen-team format. A year earlier, she had created a sensation by reaching the final of the Coupe de l'Unité, lost against Muzinga (0–3).[1]
Relegated at the end of the 2009 season, Olympic returned to the top tier, winning Group B of the Second Division in the 2013–14 season.
