History of AEK Athens F.C. facts for kids

AEK Athens F.C. is one of the greatest and most historical association football clubs in Greece. They have a long, unique and idiosyncratic history and has experienced both the highs and lows of the game. They won their first championship in 1939 and has gone on to become one of Greece's most successful football teams.

Origins

The large Greek population of Constantinople, not unlike those of the other Ottoman urban centres, continued its athletic traditions in the form of numerous athletic clubs. Clubs such as Énosis Tataoúlon (Ένωσις Ταταούλων) and Iraklís (Ηρακλής) from the Tatavla district, Mégas Aléxandros (Μέγας Αλέξανδρος) and Ermís (Ερμής) of Galata and Olympiás (Ολυμπιάς) of Therapia existed to promote the Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals. These were amongst a dozen Greek-backed clubs that dominated the sporting landscape of the city in the years preceding World War I. After the war, with the influx of mainly French and English soldiers to Constantinople, many of the city clubs participated in regular competition with teams formed by the foreign troops. Taxim, Pera and Tatavla became the scene of weekly competitions in not only football, but also athletics, cycling, boxing and tennis.

Of the clubs in the city, association football was dominated by Énosis Tataoúlon and The Greek Football Team. In 1914, The Greek Football Team was formed as the football department of Ermís, a sports club established in 1875 by the Greek community of Pera (Galata). Known as "Pera" since the mid-1880's, it was forced to change its name to "Pera Sports Club" and then "Beyoğluspor Kulübü" in 1923. Many of its athletes and those of most other Greek sporting clubs, fled during the Greek genocide and the population exchanges at the end of the Greco-Turkish War and settled in Athens and Thessaloniki.

The early years (1924–1959)

Formation and first steps (1924–1929)

Honours Won: —

Runner-up: Athens Championship: 3 (1925, 1927, 1929)

In 1924, the founders of AEK – a group of Constantinopolitan refugees (among them former athletes from the Pera Sports Club and the other Constantinopolitan clubs) – met at the athletic shop "Lux" of Emilios Ionas and Konstantinos Dimopoulos on Veranzerou Street, in the center of Athens and created AEK. Their intention was to create a club that provided athletic and cultural diversions for the thousands of predominantly Constantinopolitan and Anatolian refugees who had settled in the new suburbs of Athens (including Nea Filadelfeia, Nea Ionia, Nea Chalkidona, Nea Smyrni).

AEK's first game was a 1–1 friendly draw against Atromitos in October 1924. Their first official match was a 4–2 win against Goudi on 14 December 1924.

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 their early matches at various locations around Athens, including the grounds of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium.

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 Filadelfeia 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.

In 1927 Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and AEK decided to break away from the Athens regional league after a dispute with the fledgling Hellenic Football Federation (EPO). They formed an alliance called P.O.K. (acronym for Podosfairikes Omades Kentrou or Panathinaikos Olympiacos Konstantinoupolis) and started organising friendly matches against each other and several continental European clubs. This also marked the start of the so-called Easter Cup. In 1928, though, the dispute ended and AEK, along with the other P.O.K. clubs, entered the HFF fold once again.

In 1928, Venizelos approved the plans to build what was to become the club's home ground for the next 70 years, the AEK Stadium.

Moving to home ground and first successes (1929–1940)

Honours Won: Greek Cup: 2 (1931–32, 1938–39), Easter Cup: 1 (1938), Panhellenic Championship: 2 (1938–39, 1939–40), Athens Championship: 1 (1940)

Runner-up: Athens Championship: 5 (1930, 1931, 1937, 1938, 1939)

In 1930, the AEK Stadium was completed. The area where the stadium was located had been previously used as the training ground of the club. The first home game, in November 1930, was an exhibition match against Olympiacos that ended in a 2–2 draw.

In 1932, AEK won the inaugural Greek Cup, beating Aris 5–3 in the final. The goals for AEK were scored by Ilias Iliaskos, Nikos Baltas (twice), Oikonomou (O.G.) and Kostas Negrepontis, a veteran of the original Pera Club of Constantinople. This was also the first ever title won by the club.

In 1933, former star striker, Kostas Negrepontis took over the managerial guidance of AEK. He managed to build a formidable team which was led by Kleanthis Maropoulos and Tryfon Tzanetis, the best pair of forwards at the time and one of the best in Greek football's history. Other important players included Christos Ribas, Michalis Delavinias, Georgios Magiras and Spyros Sklavounos.

The club's success during the late 1930s was highlighted by the Panhellenic Championships in 1939 and 1940. The 2–1 win in the 1939 Cup final, goals by Alekos Chatzistavridis and Vasilios Manettas, marked the first ever double (domestic Championship and Cup) in the history of Greek football.

During World War II (1940–1945)

Honours Won: Christmas Cup: 1 (1943) Easter Cup: 1 (1944)

Runner-up: —

The 1940–41 Panhellenic Championship was interrupted due to the Greco-Italian War. After the Battle of Greece (1941) and during the Axis occupation of Greece sporting events were scarce.

During the Greco-Italian War in a battle at Pogradec, AEK player K. Vavanis was badly injured by a mortar bomb that exploded in front of him. During the spring of 1942 Panathinaikos and AEK were to give a friendly match to raise money for a hospital but were asked to give part of the revenue to the occupation forces. Tasos Kritikos and Kleanthis Maropoulos, who served as captains of the two clubs, refused and the 15,000 spectators turned into one of the largest protests of the time. The game became known as the "Resistance Derby". In June 1944 AEK player Spyros Kontoulis was killed by the Nazi forces during his attempt to escape while being transported to Kaisariani in order to be executed for being part of the resistance.

The 1942–43 Panhellenic Championship was an attempt to restart sporting activity but was not completed.

The Post-World War II years (1945–1952)

Honours Won: Athens Championship: 3 (1946, 1947, 1950), Christmas Cup: 1 (1947), Greek Cup: 2 (1949, 1950)

Runner-up: Panhellenic Championship: 1 (1946), Greek Cup: 1 (1948), Athens Championship: 2 (1951, 1952)

With English coach Jack Beby at the wheel, veteran players such as Maropoulos, Tzanetis, Delavinias and Magiras, along with new generation players such as Kostas Poulis, Goulios and Pavlos Emmanouilidis, AEK won the Cup of 1949 and 1950, beating Panathinaikos by 2–1 and Aris by 4–0.

AEK won also the Athens regional championship of 1950, but the play–off games for the Panhellenic Championship were not played, due to many players being called up for a prolonged training camp for the national team.

A new generation of stars (1952–1959)

Honours Won: Christmas Cup: 1 (1957), Greek Cup: 1 (1956), Easter Cup: 2 (1955, 1958)

Runner-up: Panhellenic Championship: 2 (1958, 1959), Greek Cup: 1 (1953), Athens Championship: 2 (1954, 1958)

The early 1950s saw the addition of the next generation of star footballers in Giannis Kanakis, Andreas Stamatiadis and Stelios Serafidis and along with Poulis and Emmanouilidis.

In 1955, AEK signed Kostas Nestoridis, a player who would become the greatest forward of his era. His former team Panionios did not consent with the transfer, so Nestoridis was forced to sit out for two seasons, due to the restraining law which applied at the time. In his first season at the club Nestoridis showing his class, finished as the top scorer of the league.

AEK won the Cup of 1956, this time beating Olympiacos by 2–1 in the final.

1959–60 season

In the first season of the newly formed Alpha Ethniki, AEK under Lukas Aurednik, were strengthened with Giannis Marditsis and Alekos Sofianidis, while Kostas Poulis left after 11 years. In the first matchday on 25 October, Giannis Kanakis became the scorer of the first goal of the institution in the 3rd minute against Ethnikos Piraeus. The end of the championship found AEK and Panathinaikos tied at the top and thus the champion was to be determined by a play-off match. In the match that took place on 31 July, despite taking the lead, AEK eventually lost, as the "greens" overturned the score and won by 2–1. Kostas Nestoridis won the top scorer award for the second time in a row.

Honours Won: Greek Cup: 1 (1966)

Runner-up: —

1965–66 season

In the summer of 1965, Tryfon Tzanetis in his fifth and final spell in the club, strengthened the roster with the great transfers such as Tasos Vasiliou, Kostas Nikolaidis and Panagiotis Ventouris, while Nikos Stathopoulos was promoted from the academies. On the other side, Miltos Papapostolou and Lefter Küçükandonyadis retired. In a friendly match between AEK and Real Madrid, Mimis Papaioannou had an impressive performance and the Spaniards made a huge offer for his acquisition. The club's refusal resulted in his withdrawal from the club. Ηowever, shortly before the derby with Panathinaikos, AEK offered a new contract to Papaioannou, who returned to the team. In the away match against Panathinaikos, while the score was at 1–1, the referee awarded an off-side goal to the greens and as a result incidents occurred with the fans entering the pitch, which resulted in suspension of the match and its award to Panathinaikos. As a protest, AEK were absent in the next matchday, but with the fear of relegation they were forced to return to the championship, eventually finishing third. Papaioannou won the top scorer award for the second time in his career with 23 goals, succeeding Nestoridis in being the leader of the team. In the Cup, AEK qualified to the final against Olympiacos and the HFF set the match on 10 July, at the Karaiskakis Stadium, which brought reaction of Olympiacos, who announced their intention not to show up. Thus, on 7 July the HFF, unable to convince Olympiacos to change their mind, declared AEK as the Cup winners.

While AEK were covering the distance for the title race, the government was overthrown and a military dictatorship was imposed on the country, resulting in the interruption of the championship. AEK were not affected by the interruption and continued in covering up the distance, but two draws in the final matchdays ended their chances of winning the championship, finishing second. They also competed in the Balkans Cup, finishing first in their group and qualified in the final against Fenerbahçe. In the first leg at Nea Filadelfeia, AEK won by 2–1, but in Istanbul, the Turks won by 1–0 and a third match was set at Mithat Paşa, which they lost with 3–1.

Honours Won: Alpha Ethniki: 1 (1971)

Runner-up: Alpha Ethniki: 1 (1970)

1968–69 season

A transitional year for AEK, with the hiring of Branko Stanković. Giorgos Lavaridis was promoted from the academies. Under the Yugoslav, the team's model was based on tactics, technique, physical strength and discipline. The inability of the players to quickly adapt to the new model, resulted in a bad start in the league, but in time the team started to increase their performance. On 27 October they defeated Olympiacos by 2–3 with Papaioannou playing as goalkeeper from the 85th minute, due to the suspension of Serafidis. AEK were consistently close in claiming the title, until the 22nd matchday when they were defeated at home by Olympiacos, which resulted in their downfall and their sixth-place finish. However, AEK made one of the most impressive European campaigns, eliminating Jeunesse Esch in first round and AB in the second round and became the first Greek club to reach the quarter-finals of a European competition, where they were eliminated by Spartak Trnava.

In a strange decision, Zafiropoulos hired Nikos Alefantos. AEK continued their instability in their performances and the fans were running out of patience. In a home game Alefantos subbed off Thomas Mavros, who had returned after an injury, with the crowd disapproving the substitution. In the press conference of the match, Alefantos spoke out against Mavros, considering him as a "finished" footballer. Those incidents led in the departure of Mavros, after 11 years in the club. Shortly after, the bad results brought Alefantos to the exit door, as well and AEK completed the season with Nikos Christidis. AEK did not compete in the last three games of the league, due to a strike declared by the Footballers' Union and were punished with a deduction of six points, finishing in the seventh place.

In the cup, AEK reached the round of 16, facing Olympiacos. After the away 1–1, a scandal broke out on the eve of the rematch, as the former player of AEK, Dinos Ballis visited the hotel where the team were located with a bouquet for Theologis Papadopoulos and created suspicions that he was trying to bribe him. Olympiacos the game won by 1–3, eliminating them from the cup and the story continued in courts. The Koskotas brothers of Olympiacos were accused of trying to bribe Papadopoulos and Vasilakos through Ballis, resulting in the punishment of only the latter for attempted bribery. In the "Tsingov case", AEL were initially punished with zeroing for the match, a 2-point deduction and punishment of the player, which brought AEK to the top of the table. AEL appealed with their fans rallied, resulting in the alteration of the regulation and the return of the points, which led in their eventual conquest of the championship. In the last game of the season at Nea Filadelfeia, the tension between the ultras of the club and Andreas Zafiropoulos peaked, when the riot police invaded the ultra's stand which resulted in heated encounters, that led in his withdrawal from the presidency. Henrik Nielsen with 21 goals finished the season as the league's top scorer.

AEK were going through a good period, ending up in third place before the start of the play-offs. During that period the COVID-19 pandemic began, causing disruption to all sporting activities for about 3 months. The restart of the season in early June found AEK competing in the play-offs clearly affected by the interruption and lost the opportunity to finish second in a match where PAOK had knowingly played with unreviewed health cards of their footballers, which would have resulted in their nullification in this particular match if the management of the yellow-blacks objected the match.

In the cup, AEK easily passed through Asteras Tripolis in the round of 16 and Panetolikos in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, they faced Aris and after a 2–1 win in the first at home, which was the last with crowd before the lockdown, went to Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium three months later, where AEK took the qualification after a 2–2 draw at extra time. Thus, the yellow-blacks were in the final for fourth consecutive year facing Olympiacos. After a series of postponements the match took place in September at Panthessaliko Stadium. Due to the delay, the teams had to compete without the players acquired from the 2020 summer transfer period, by decision of the UEFA. In the match, AEK were defeated with 0–1 by an extremely inadequate Olympiacos, losing their fourth cup final.

On the other hand, Vasilis Barkas, Marios Oikonomou, Niklas Hult, Daniele Verde and Victor Klonaridis departed, while the permanent stay of Ognjen Vranješ and Sergio Araujo once again did not occur. It was also the season that followed the interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in no actual pre-season preparation during summer, while all of the matches were played in front of empty stands.

The draw for the third qualifying round of the Europa League brought AEK against St. Gallen. Due to a busy schedule and the consequences of the pandemic, that the matches of the qualifying and play-off rounds were single-legged. Thus, at Kybunpark, AEK prevailed by 0–1 and were qualified in the play-off round, where they faced Wolfsburg at the Olympic Stadium and won by 2–1 with a comeback, earning a place at the group stage. There, they were placed alongside Braga, Leicester City and Zorya Luhansk, where European course ended poorly, as they finished last with only 1 win.

The Matías Almeyda Era (2022–)

Honours Won: Super League Greece: 1 (2023), Greek Cup: 1 (2023)

Runner-up: Super League Greece (2024)

2022–23 season

The end of the previous season found AEK failing to qualify in any European competition. In the midst of that situation, Matías Almeyda was hired as the new coach. Players, such as Domagoj Vida, Harold Moukoudi, Djibril Sidibé, Jens Jønsson, Mijat Gaćinović, Niclas Eliasson and most importantly, Orbelín Pineda on loan, arrived, while the transfer of Steven Zuber became permanent. At the same time, André Simões left the team after 7 years.

From early in the season AEK began to show signs of the team that Almeyda was preparing. A team with dominance on the pitch, that suffocated their opponents with pressure all over the pitch and immediate ball recoveries. Furthermore, with the completion of Agia Sophia Stadium, AEK entered their new home, which gave the team a boost in their performance. As the season progressed, despite their performance, were in second place behind Panathinaikos, but the image of the two teams gave impression that the point difference was reversible.

After the interruption, of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, AEK went until the end of the regular season achieving mostly victories. On 5 February, AEK became unwittingly involved in case that defamed Greek football, when at Peristeri Stadium, the height in one of the two goalpoasts was shorter and after unsuccessfull efforts by the hosts to fix the issue, the teams departed and the case went to courts. Despite the regulation, the replay of the match was set, absolving the hosts, Atromitos of any responsibility. Nevertheless, AEK won the match and went in the play-offs having reduced the point distance from Panathinaikos in just 2 points. The title was eventually judged in the penultimate matchday, where AEK defeated Aris, while at the same time Panathnaikos were defeated by Olympiacos. Thus, on final fixture, AEK, with their victory against Volos, were crowned champions, with the awarding ceremony taking place inside their new stadium.

AEK easly overcame the obstacle of PAS Giannina in the fifth round of the cup. Afterwards, they easily passed through A.E. Kifisia and Panserraikos and were qualified to the semi-finals. There, AEK came against Olympiacos and with an imposing 3–0 at home and a 2–1 defeat away, were qualified in the final, with PAOK being their opponent. After a series of adventures about the venue of the final, the match took place at Panthessaliko Stadium. AEK once again came in, imposing their game, but the sent-off of Rota changed everything, as they were forced in a defensive role for the whole match. Nevertheless, they defended effectively and managed to score with Moukoudi, while in the final minutes, they finished the game with a magic goal by Fernandes, winning their third domestic double in their history.

Kit

Crest and Colours

In 1924, AEK Athens adopted the image of a double-headed eagle as their emblem. AEK Athens was created by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the years following the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange and the emblem was chosen as a reminder of their lost homelands representing the club's historical ties to Constantinople. After all, the double-headed eagle is featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, whose headquarters are in Constantinople and served as Imperial emblem under the Palaiologos dynasty.

AEK Athens' main emblem underwent numerous minor changes between 1924 and 1982. The design of the eagle on the shirt badge was often not identical to the design of the eagle depicted on official club correspondence, merchandise and promotional material. All designs were considered "official" (in the broadest sense of the word), however, it was not until 1982 that an identifiable, copyrighted design was established as the club's official shirt and badge. The emblem design was changed in 1989 and again in 1993 to the current shield design.

Yellow and black, the colours AEK Athens has adopted for their kits come from it connection with Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire. Yellow symbolises the hope that the Greek refugees will once be able to return to their homes while black symbolises the grief for the loss of their homes. The colours are also featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The third kit is usually blue and white colour taken from the Greek flag. For a couple of season the third kit used to be dark scarlet, a colour which was featured in the Empire's flag.

AEK Athens have always worn predominantly striped or plain yellow shirts, black shorts and yellow or black socks. Variations mostly include all-black or all-yellow kits. The most notable exception were the kits manufactured by Italian firms Basic and Kappa which were used during the 1990s. They featured a double-headed eagle across the kit and the 1994 version was voted "Kit of the season" by UEFA.

Training Facilities

AEK Athens had been using an old training complex in Thrakomakedones for years. In November 2010, they moved to the Spata Training Centre. The complex was built using funds of the then shareholder Nikos Notias. During the ownership of Dimitris Melissanidis the training center was modernized in 2013 and was expanded in 2014. In April 2022 a pitch with stands under the name "Serafidio Stadium" was built to host the matches of AEK Athens B and friendly games of the first team.
