[[Football (soccer)|Football]] in Greece, made it's appearance in about [[1890]] but there was no official championship since it was considered as a sport for the low class people. There were some people, though, who had predicted that this sport would eventually become the most popular sport in Greece. [[Giorgos Kalafatis]], was the one who really believed in [[Football (soccer)|football]] and in February of [[1908]] at the age of 18, he founded the team of Panathinaikos F.C. The president of the team was Alexandros Kalafatis, Giorgos' brother. Giorgos Kalafatis is now considered as Greek's soccer "Father". The name of the club was by then P.O.A. (Podosfairikos Omilos Athinon - Football Club of Athens). The club changed it's name twice during the time period of [[1910]] - [[1918]].
