HISTORY

According to the club’s official page, AEL Kalloni FC was founded on May 15th 1994 following a merger between Apollonas Dafnion and Arisvaios Kallonis. It was since the 2007/08 season when the club started rising to success and moving beyond those narrow boundaries set by local football divisions; the club was looking forward to playing in major leagues.

Moreover, one reads at the Kalloni FC’s official site: “In the 2009/10 season, while competing in the 9th group of the 4th Division, AELK revealed themselves to be a pleasant surprise for their fans. Their fighting squad and the champion’s mentality of the team became the key to success for playing in the 3rd Division”. In fact, next year (2010/11), “thanks to the impetus gained in the previous season, the team of Kalloni finished second and played in Football League (Second Division)”.

In its debut season in Football League (2011/12), AELK features one of the division’s mightiest rosters led by Luciano de Souza in the first round and guided by Giannis Mantzourakis –with “Luci” in assistant duties– in the second, climbs to 6th place in regular season and takes part in the play-off series for Superleague promotion. At the playoffs, the original objective set by FC President Nikos Michalakis at the beginning of the season, the squad finished 3rd and so finally earns 5th position in the championship. That has been a successful year for the club and, in general, for football in the island of Lesvos, laying thus the ground for better things in the future.

In 2012/13, AELK was made to fulfil its single goal, to get promoted to Super League. Mpampis Tenne’s arrival at the helm on January 1st 2013 boosted AELK for an impressive undefeated streak that lasted long. Numbers speak for themselves (best championship defense and least number of home defeats), so Kalloni celebrated in its last match against Olympiacos Volou –the Final, as it was called– the club’s direct promotion to Super League, for the first time in the history of the club and Lesvos football”.

Kalloni’s first year (2013/14) in Super League was marked by an extreme paradox, since the club was forced to play actually all 34 championship fixtures away from home, since its stadium was not ready to host matches. Nevertheless, the club remained in history. Last year (2014/15), the Mytilene Municipal Stadium finally opened its gates and the team plays before its own fans.
