History

Early history

The large Greek population of Constantinople (now Istanbul), not unlike those of the other Ottoman urban centres, continued its athletic traditions in the form of numerous athletic clubs. Clubs such as Enosi Tataoulon (Ένωση Ταταούλων) from the Tatavla district, Megas Alexandros (Μέγας Αλέξανδρος) of Vathyriakos, and Hermes (Ερμής - Ermis) of Galata existed to promote Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals; Hermes, one of the more popular clubs, was formed in 1875 by the Greek community of Pera (Galata). Forced by the Kemalist regime to change its name to Pera Club in 1921, many of its athletes fled during the population exchanges at the end of the Greco-Turkish War, and settled in Athens and Thessaloniki.

1924 – 1939

In 1924, a group of Constantinopolitan refugees (among them athletes from Pera Club and the other Constantinopolitan clubs) met at the athletic shop of Emilios and Menelaos Ionas on Veranzerou Street, in the center of Athens, and established AEK.


The founders of AEK established the club with the intention of providing athletic and cultural diversions for the thousands of predominantly Constantinopolitan and Anatolian refugees who had settled in the new suburbs of Athens (Nea Filadelfeia, Nea Ionia, Nea Smyrni). AEK’s first game was a 2-0 win against Aias Athinon. There is also a village that has the name New Filadelfeia in the prefecture of Thessaloniki, see Nea FIladelfeia (Thessaloniki), Greece Nea Filadelfeia or Nea Filadelfia(Greek: Νέα Φιλαδέλφεια, meaning New Philadelphia), older rare New Philadelphia is a...

Nea Smyrni or Nea Smirni (Greek: Νέα Σμύρνη, literally New Smyrna) is a suburb in the southwestern part of Athens, Greece. ...


AEK’s football team grew rapidly in popularity during the 1920s, eclipsing the already-established Athens-based refugee clubs (Panionios, Apollon Smyrnis), thanks mainly to the large pool of immigrants that were drawn to the club and due, in no small part, to the political connections and wealth of several of the club’s board members. Not possessing a football ground, AEK played most of its early matches at various locations around Athens, including the grounds of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium. Panionios GSS FC (Greek: Πανιώνιος Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος Σμύρνης - Panionios Gymnastikos Syllogos Smyrnis), the Pan-Ionian Gymnastic Association of Smyrna, is a Greek association football club based in the Athenian suburb of Nea Smyrni, Greece. ...

AEK’s first president, Konstantinos Spanoudis (1871-1941), a journalist and associate of the then Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, petitioned the government to set aside land for the establishment of a sports ground. In 1926, land in Nea Filadelfia that was originally set aside for refugee housing was donated as a training ground for the refugees. AEK began using the ground for training (albeit unofficially) and by 1930 the property was signed over to the club. Venizelos soon approved the plans to build what was to become AEK’s home ground for the next 70 years, the Nikos Goumas Stadium. The first home game, in November 1930, was an exhibition match against Olympiacos that ended in a 2-2 draw. For other uses, see Journalist (disambiguation). ...

In 1928 Panathinaikos FC, Olympiacos, and AEK began a dispute with the fledgling Hellenic Football Federation (EPO), decided to break away from the Athens regional league and form an alliance called P.O.K.(acronym for Podosfairikes-Omades-Kentrou). During the dispute, POK organised friendly matches against each other and several continental European clubs. In 1929, though, the dispute ended and AEK, along with the other POK clubs, entered the EPO fold once again. See also: Panathinaikos Panathinaikos FC, also known as PAO or Panathinaikos AO (Greek: ΠΑΟ - Παναθηναϊκός Αθλητικός Όμιλος - Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos), the All-Athenian Athletic Club, is a Greek association football club based in Athens, Greece. ...

In 1932, AEK won their first Greek Cup title, beating Aris FC 5-3 in the final. The team boasted a number of star football players in Kostas Negrepontis (a veteran of the original Pera Club of Constantinople), Kleanthis Maropoulos, Tryfon Tzanetis, Michalis Delavinias, Giorgos Mageiras and Spyros Sklavounos. Main article: Aris Thessaloniki Aris Thessaloniki Football Club is a Greek football club that premiered on the 25th of March 1914 in Thessaloniki. ...

Tryfon Tzanetis Tryfon Tzanetis (Greek: Τρύφων Τζανετής) was a Greek football player and coach. ...


The club’s mixed success during the 1930s was highlighted by the first Greek Championship-Cup double in 1939.


1940 – 1959

Under former player Kostas Negrepontis as coach, AEK won the Greek Championships in 1940, 1941 and 1943. However, those of 1941 and 1943 did not recognised by E.P.O. (Hellenic Football Federation) due to second world war. With English coach Jack Bimby at the reins, veteran players Maropoulos, Tzanetis, Delavinias and Mageiras, along with new blood Kostas Poulis, Giorgos Goulios, and Pavlos Emmanoualidis, AEK won the Greek Cup competitions of 1949 and 1950, beating Panathinaikos 2-1 and Aris 4-0. For other uses, see England (disambiguation). ...


AEK won also the Athens regional championships of 1950 and 1952, but the playoff games for the Pan-Hellenic title were not played, due to many players being called up for a prolonged training camp for the national team.


The early 1950s saw the addition of the next generation of star footballers in Giannis Kanakis, Andreas Stamatiadis, and goalkeeper Stelios Serafeidis, and along with Poulis and Emmanoualidis, AEK again won the Greek Cup title of 1956, this time beating Olympiacos 2-1 in the final. 1957 saw the debut of one of the greatest forwards of the era, Kostas Nestoridis. Having joined AEK from Panionios in 1956, Nestoridis was forced to sit out the 1956 season because of a dispute between the two clubs over his transfer. In 1958 and 1959 he finished top goal scorer in the league, but it wasn’t enough for AEK to take any titles. Andreas Stamatiadis born on August 16, 1935. ...

1960 – 1979

With Kostas Nestoridis scoring goals aplenty in the early 1960s, (top goalscorer 1958-1963), and the timely signing of attacker Dimitris Papaioannou in 1962, AEK went on to win the 1963 Championship. AEK legend Mimis Papaioannou Mimis (Dimitris) Papaioannou, was one of the star football players of AEK Athens FC. He was born in 1942 and began his career at Nea Genea in the town of Nea Nikomedia near Veria, Macedonia (Greece). ...


Known affectionately as “Mimis” by the AEK supporters, Papaioannou scored twice in the 1963 playoff against Panathinaikos, levelling the scores at 3-3 and giving AEK its first post-war championship title on goal aggregate. Coached by Hungarian-German Jenő Csaknady, the championship team also consisted of veterans Nestoridis, Serafeidis and Stamatiadis, Alekos Sofianidis, Stelios Skevofilakas, Giorgos Petridis, Manolis Kanellopoulos, and Miltos Papapostolou.


The club followed up with Cup victories in 1964 and 1966, and with the return of Csaknady to the coach’s position in 1968, and with some great players in Kostas Nikolaidis, Giorgos Karafeskos, Panagiotis Ventouris, Fotis Balopoulos, Spyros Pomonis, Alekos Iordanou, Nikos Stathopoulos and Andreas Papaemmanouil, AEK won the championship with relative ease, and became the first Greek football club to reach the quarter-final of European Champions Cup. The addition of goalkeeper Stelios Konstantinidis and Apostolos Toskas reinforced the team and allowed AEK to take its fifth championship title in 1971.

Mavros, Eleutherakis and Ardizoglou were part of the AEK outfit that dominated the Greek league in the late 1970s

Loukas Barlos took over the presidency of AEK in 1974, and with the help of Czech-Dutch coach Frantisek Fadrhonc built one of the finest teams in the club’s history.

Captained by Papaioannou, 1976-1977 saw AEK reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup competition, the first Greek football club to do so. Beating Dinamo Moscow (Russia) 2-0, Derby County FC (U.K.) 2-0 and 3-2, Red Star Belgrade (Yugoslavia) 2-0, and QPR (U.K.) 3-0 and 7-6 on penalties, AEK were eventually eliminated by Gianni Agnelli’s Juventus FC.

It was during this period that AEK signed one of Greece’s finest strikers in Thomas Mavros. He was an integral part of the team that reached the UEFA Cup semi finals in 1976, but it was his devastating form (top goal scorer of 1978 and 1979 - 22 and 31 goals, respectively) that helped AEK take the 1978 Championship-Cup double. The addition of former Panathinaikos FC stars Dimitris Domazos and Kostas Eleutherakis to the AEK roster the following year saw the club cap off their most successful decade to-date by winning the 1979 Championship.

Under Loukas Barlos, the Nikos Goumas Stadium was finally completed with the addition of the iconic “Covered Stand”, or Skepasti (Σκεπαστή), which eventually became home to the most fanatic of AEK supporter groups, Original 21. The next generation of star players, fresh out of the AEK Academy, made their debut during this period – Stelios Manolas, Spyros Ekonomopoulos, Vangelis Vlachos and Lysandros Georgamlis.

By far AEK’s most successful run with titles, the period also saw AEK sign talented players in Demis Nikolaidis, Christos Kostis, Vassilis Tsiartas, Christos Maladenis, Andreas Zikos and Michalis Kasapis. Demis Nikolaidis, in particular, an AEK fan since childhood, declined more lucrative offers from Olympiacos and Panathinaikos FC to sign for his beloved club. During seasons 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, AEK progressed to the Quarter-Final of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Despite AEK’s on-field successes, the period was best remembered for the return of Dusan Bajevic as coach in the summer of 2002, a move that sparked open hostility towards Bajevic from a section of AEK supporters.


Under Bajevic, AEK progressed through the qualifying rounds in the 2002 UEFA Champions League by eliminating APOEL FC over the home-and-away legs. Drawn in Group A with AS Roma, Real Madrid, and Racing Genk, AEK put in a spirited performance and despite being undefeated (the club drew all its games), were unable to progress to the next round. APOEL FC (Greek: ΑΠΟΕΛ; Aθλητικός Ποδοσφαιρικός Όμιλος Eλλήνων Λευκωσίας, Athlitikos Podosfairikos Omilos Ellinon Lefkosias, Hellenic Athletic Football Team of Nicosia) is a Cypriot multisport club, based in Nicosia, Cyprus. ...

The transfers of Nikos Lyberopoulos and Cypriot Ioannis Okkas to AEK promised to revitalise the club’s on-field success amid the growing financial problems. Modest performances, though, were not enough as more off-field dramas unfolded. Punctuated by the demolition of Nikos Goumas Stadium, home to AEK for over 70 years, club president Chrysostomos Psomiadis (with the assistance of his bodyguards) allegedly assaulted team captain Demis Nikolaidis (the player was allegedly nightclubing resulting in bad performances). After the altercation, and partly due to the club’s growing financial problems from mismanagement, Nikolaidis as he was already paid for the matches he played, was let on free transfer by mutual consent and signed for Atlético Madrid. Unable to cope with the negativity from a large section of AEK fans, Bajević resigned in 2004 during a season match against Iraklis FC.

By now, on the brink of bankruptcy, and losing most of its Euro 2004 stars and experienced players to other European clubs, AEK needed a miracle to prevent it from being relegated to the Greek amateur leagues. Though both Kostas Katsouranis and Nikos Lyberopoulos remained, Vassilis Borbokis, Grigorios Georgatos ,Theodoros Zagorakis, Michalis Kapsis, Michalis Kassapis, Michel Kreek, Vassilis Lakis, Vassilis Tsiartas, and Ioannis Okkas all left the club in the wake of the troubles.

In 2004 Demis Nikolaidis, at the head of a consortium of businessmen, bought out the beleaguered AEK and became the new club president with the help of all AEK fans who started mass protests organized by the hard core fans. His primary task was to lead AEK out of its precarious financial position. The first success was an arrangement through the Greek justice system to write off most of the massive debt that previous club administrators had amassed, and to repay any remaining public debts in manageable instalments.


Securing the club’s existence in the Alpha Ethniki, Nikolaidis then began a program to rebuild AEK to its former glory. He appointed experienced former player Ilija Ivić as technical director of the club and brought back Fernando Santos as coach. The AEK fans, emboldened by Nikolaidis’s efforts, followed suit by buying season ticket packages in record numbers (over 17,000).

AEK Kit

Usually, AEK wears its famous yellow shirt at home, while wearing black on the road.*


(*) In Greece there are no Home and Away kits, per se. Teams always wear their 1st kit unless there is a resemblance between both team kits. In case of a colour clash, the home team usually wears one of its alternate kits; AEK has often worn their 3rd kit (which is usually light blue or white) at home against other teams that wear predominantly yellow kits.
