Short History

Apollon Smyrnis is the oldest Greek sports club, established in 1891 by a high priest called Christostomos, Emmanuel Samios and other former members of "Orfeas" who came from Smyrna, Asia Minor as immigrants due to Asia Minor Disaster in 1922. The clubs first name (while the founders were still in Smyrna) was "Orfeas Smyrnis" and it was founded in 1890. Its colors are blue and white because Apollon's founders wanted to honor the Greek Flag. The club's first badge was a swastika-like cross but just after World War II it was changed for obvious reasons and the new badge decided to be the Greek ancient god Apolo's head in blue and white colors. 1891 (MDCCCXCI) was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

The clubs first home ground was located in a place near the building of the Greek Parliament called "Stiles Olympiou Dios" (Pillars of Olympian Zeus). Apollon stayed there for about 25 years, and after the World War II the clubs house was transfered in a Athens neighborhood called "Rizoupolis" and built a stadium there, which is called Georgios Kamaras Stadium, after a club legend called Georgios Kamaras. The club has four departments: The football department called "Apollon Smyrnis FC", a basketball club called "Apollon BC", a volleyball club and a fighting department. The most known (and probably the most succesful) department is Apollon's football club. Apollon FC participated in Alpha Ethniki championship for many years, except seasons 1967/68, 1972/73, 1974/75, 1986/87.

The seasons 1994/95 and 1995/96 are the most succesful club's seasons: In 1994/95 Apollon qualified for the 1995-96 UEFA Cup (preliminary round) where he played against Olimpija Ljubljana. Georgios Kamaras Stadium was not suitable for the game and Apollon played in AEK Athens home ground, Nikos Goumas Stadium. Apollon won 1-0 in Athens in front of 10.000 Apollon fans but unfortunately lost 3-1 in Ljubljana (Olimpia scored 2 goals in the last 15 minutes) and Apollon was eliminated. In these matches many people noticed a young striker (he was just 21 years old) who almost ten years after this moment would become European football Champion: his name was Demis Nikolaidis The following season (1996-1997) Apollon FC ,under Giannis Pathiakakis coaching and thanks to Demis Nikolaidis's integral scoring performances, participated after a excellent season in Greek Cup final, but they lost 7-1 to AEK Athens. After these great seasons, Apollon's glory started to fade and as a result, in 2000/2001 season Apollon was relegated in Beta Ethniki and in 2005 relegated to Greek Third Division (South Group).
