AEK Athens FC is the football club of the Athletic Union of Constantinople (AEK), a sports club founded in Athens, Greece in Turkey in 1922.
The football section of the AEK is one of the leading football clubs in Greece, having won 27 national titles (11 Championships, 13 Cups, 2 Super Cups, 1 League Cup) and participates in European competition (UEFA Cup semifinalists in the 1976-77 season).
The club has been facing serious financial problems lately, to the point where its very existence is threatened. It is quite possible that AEK will not exist anymore after January 2005.
