Panargiakos Football Club (Greek: Παναργειακός Α.Π.Ο.) is a Greek football club based in Argos, Greece. The association was founded in 1926. The club is a founding member of the Argolida Football Clubs Association.[1]

Panargiakos played in the First Division during the 1956–57 Panhellenic Championship and in the second level of Greek football several times: 1965–1967, 1970–1975, 1981–1982, 1990–1998, and from 2024.[2] In 2008, they were promoted to Gamma Ethniki.

History

[edit]

Panargiakos was founded in 1926 as "Pan-Hellenic Association of National Physical Education". The head of this historical movement was the writer Georgios Logothetis, who had settled in Argos since 1923, coming from Spetses. From 1926 to 1933 they participated only in friendly matches. In 1933, Panargiakos was deactivated and reactivated in 1945 as "Panargiakos APO". In 1947 they participated for the first time in an official football organization.

The biggest moment of Panargiakos's history is their participation as a South Group champion in the 1957 Pan-Hellenic Championship with ten teams: from Athens to Panathinaikos, Apollonas and Panionios, from Piraeus to Olympiakos, Ethnikos and Proodeftiki, from Thessaloniki Aris and PAOK and the champions of the North Group, Doxa Dramas. In the 1990s, Panageriakos participated in the 2nd National Championship, but never won the championship of the First National Championship. In recent years the team has participated either in the local championships of Argolida or in the championship of the 4th National, but it remains the most favorite club for the Argian fans.

On May 31, 2008, they won the Cup of Amateurs defeating Niki Polygyrou with 3–0 in the lead. The final was in Lamia. In the same season (2007–08) they won the championship in the 7th group of the 4th National Division and the Cup of EPC of Argolida, achieving a treble. They fought for two seasons in the C National, without success, and were again relegated to the National Division. In August 2012, for the first time in the history of the club, a second team is formed, the newly established Panargiakos who originated from academies of the wider region and compete in the A'2 category championship.

In the 2012–13 season, Panargiakos won the 4th place in the 7th Group of the National Championship.

The team's jerseys have been previously worn by veterans of the First National Division such as Georgios Donis, Dimitrios Kapetanopoulos, Bledar Kola and Andreas Bonovas. Also, many football players in the B and C categories, such as Manolis Ioannis, Filis Spyridon, Batakos Dimitris, Da Silva Eduardo, Kapageridis Savvas, Koulianopoulos Ilias, Karabelas Giorgos, Thodis Dimitris, Pappas Pantelis.
