<hr />
<div>[[File:Hiotis_Manolis_me_bouzouki.jpg|frame|[[Manolis Chiotis]]]]<br />
'''Manolis Chiotis''' was a [[Greek music]] legend and innovator.<br />
<br />
He was born on [[March 21]], [[1921]] in [[Thessaloniki]], to a well-to-do family that hailed from [[Nafplio]]. At an early age he learned and mastered the guitar and the [[bouzouki]].<br />
<br />
In [[1936]], he made his first appearance in [[Athens]], alongside [[rebetiko]] singer [[Stratos Payoumtzis]], who took him under his wing. Success soon followed for the young singer who became the first to master the 4-chord bouzouki. He was also the first Greek to perform with an electric guitar which he purchased from a French group on tour.<br />
<br />
During his lifetime, Chiotis married three times, all three marriages to singers:<br />
<br />
*[[Zoe Nachi]]<br />
*[[Mary Linda]]<br />
*[[Beba Kyriakidou]]<br />
<br />
His second marriage created perhaps the best duo in Greek music history. Together with Mary Linda, Manolis Chiotis created the refined "Archontorebetiko" (posh rebetiko) style that was accepted into high-class homes where the old-style rebetiko was not, as it was deemed low-class.<br />
<br />
Chiotis passed away on [[March 21]], [[1970]], on his birthday at the age of 49.<br />
<br />

[[Image:Aidonidis-Smyrni2.jpg|thumb|300px|In a [[2002]] performance]]<br />
[[Chronis Aidonidis]] (Greek: Χρόνης Αηδονίδης), the most well-known and highly appreciated throughout Greece, current [[Thrace|Thracian]] singer, was born on [[September 23]], [[1928]] in Karoti, a small village surrounded by hills at the north side of the valley of [[Erythropotamos River]], approximately 9 kilometres away from [[Didymoteicho]]. Over the last few decades, he has constantly gained more appreciation especially as a performer of slow melismatic songs of [[Eastern Thrace]], characterized by their '''''Byzantine''''' colour. He continues working behind the scenes on the musical tradition of his birthplace, collecting several hundreds of songs focusing on the ones his mother passed down on him. Songs that disappear day by day and only a small part of them have been recorded. Most of the records are extremely hard to find if not impossible.<br />
<br />
The considerably noticeable presence of [[Chronis Aidonidis]] in the music scene includes 45" records as well as 33" ones, and his appearance in the one and only, as far as we know, 78" record performing a song from Western Thrace. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, his presence on radio and television shows and his participation in various concerts is frequent, and he has met almost all of the most important folk musicians of Post War Greece.<br />
<br />
Aidonidis died on [[October 23]], [[2023]] at the age of 95.<br />

[[Image:Aidonidis-Smyrni2.jpg|thumb|300px|In a [[2002]] performance]]<br />
[[Chronis Aidonidis]] (Greek: Χρόνης Αηδονίδης), the most well-known and highly appreciated throughout Greece, current [[Thrace|Thracian]] singer, was born on [[September 23]], [[1928]] in Karoti, a small village surrounded by hills at the north side of the valley of [[Erythropotamos River]], approximately 9 kilometres away from [[Didymoteicho]]. Over the last few decades, he has constantly gained more appreciation especially as a performer of slow melismatic songs of [[Eastern Thrace]], characterized by their '''''Byzantine''''' colour. He continues working behind the scenes on the musical tradition of his birthplace, collecting several hundreds of songs focusing on the ones his mother passed down on him. Songs that disappear day by day and only a small part of them have been recorded. Most of the records are extremely hard to find if not impossible.<br />
<br />
The considerably noticeable presence of [[Chronis Aidonidis]] in the music scene includes 45" records as well as 33" ones, and his appearance in the one and only, as far as we know, 78" record performing a song from Western Thrace. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, his presence on radio and television shows and his participation in various concerts is frequent, and he has met almost all of the most important folk musicians of Post War Greece.<br />
<br />
Aidonidis died on [[October 23]], [[2023]] at the age of 95.<br />

[[Image:Paok_2006_11.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Theodoros Zagorakis|Theo Zagorakis]] captained PAOK in [[2006]]]]<br />
== History of PAOK ==<br />
PAOK was founded in April [[1926]] by notable Constantinopolitans who arrived in [[Thessaloniki]], after the exchange of population between Greece and Turkey, according to the Lausanne treaty of [[1924]]. These people were: L. Nikolaidis, K. Komitsopoulos, D. Mitsionis, the Dimitriadis brothers, the MP Koultatsoglou, Kouemtzopoulos, Karamaounas and a few more. The constitution of PAOK, with index number 822, was legitimated by the [[City Court of Thessaloniki]] on [[April 28]], [[1926]].<br />
<br />
PAOK’s first emblem, adopted in [[1926]], was a four-leaved clover and a horse shoe. The leaves were green with the letters PAOK marked on each of them, a symbol devised by Kostas Koemtzopoulos who took the idea from a packet of cigarettes he smoked.<br />
<br />
The decision to merge with the club AEK Thessaloniki can also be considered to be of historic importance. Until [[March 20|20th March]] [[1929]] the two clubs were rivals, competing against each other although both had been established by refugees from [[Constantinople]]. It was the Chairman of AEK, Dr. Karamaounas, who brokered the merger between Thessaloniki’s two refugee teams. The main figures behind the idea and its implementation were Fanourios Vyzantios and Pantelis Kalpaktsoglou who had defected from AEK Thessaloniki, which had been established in 1924-25 by the first wave of refugees who had come to [[Thessaloniki]] from [[Constantinople]] in [[1922]]. Certain members of AEK Thessaloniki headed south to the capital upon the merger to found the modern-day team [[AEK FC|AEK]].<br />
<br />
Following the merger with AEK in [[1929]], PAOK changed its emblem. The new emblem became the [[Two-headed eagle|Two-headed Eagle]], which remains to this day, and symbolizes the arrival of the club and the return to the roots and heritage of the refugees ([[Byzantium]] and [[Constantinople]]). The Eagle holds a sword and a crown with its two heads looking East and West. The difference between this emblem and that of [[AEK FC|AEK Athens]] (which is also the symbol of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) is that the eagle on PAOK’s emblem has its wings folded signifying mourning for expulsion from the homeland.<br />
<br />
The first section to be founded was [[Football (soccer)|soccer]]. Later on, in [[1928]], other sections were also founded such as [[basketball]], volleyball, athletics, swimming, water polo, boxing and cycling. <br />
<br />
The soccer team was put in the second division of the local championship of Thessaloniki. The following year, it was promoted to the first division, after beating [[Iraklis FC|Iraklis]], who were the champions of Thessaloniki, 1-0. From this point on, the football team was established as one of the top Greek teams with a great and fanatical crowd all over [[Greece]] and beyond. The first stadium was built in the area of the [[Aristotle University|University of Thessaloniki]].<br />
<br />
The first foreign coach in the history of the team was German [[Rudolph Ganser]], who served with PAOK for the 1931-[[1932]] season.<br />
<br />
On [[February 20]], [[1938]] [[Nikos Sotiriadis]] became the first ever international player for the club in a [[1938]] World Cup qualifier against Palestine.<br />
<br />
In [[1957]], the second stadium was started in the neighborhood of Constantinopolitan immigrants, called [[Toumba Stadium|Toumba]] (Toumba, meaning tomb), which in recent years has become [[Toumba Stadium|the home stadium]]. The new stadium was completed in [[1959]] and inaugurated with a 1-0 friendly victory over [[AEK FC|AEK]] [[Athens]] on [[September 6]], [[1959]].<br />
<br />
The [[1970s]] saw PAOK develop into a contender. Englishman, [[Les Shannon]], coached a team made up of [[Giorgos Koudas]], [[Stavros Sarafis]], [[Dimitris Paridis]], [[Achilleas Aslanidis]], [[Neto Guerino]], [[Christos Terzanidis]] and others, nearly winning the championship in [[1973 Football Championship|1973]]. [[1976 Football Championship|Three years later]], PAOK handily won the title that eluded them in 1973. Meanwhile, PAOK also won the [[Greek Football Cup|Cup]]: in [[1972]] and [[1974]], the latter under Ulsterman [[Billy Bingham]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorgos Koudas]] retired in [[1984]]. The following season, PAOK won their second league title. [[Kostas Iosifidis]] has the distinction of having been a member of both [[1976]] and [[1985]] teams.<br />
<br />
==Recent Years==<br />
In recent years, PAOK, like most professional soccer teams in Greece, has been hit by financial problems, but managed to win the [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] in [[2001]] and [[2003]].<br />
<br />
In late [[2003]], [[Yiannis Goumenos]] arrived at PAOK, with a considerable background in insurance and stock-broking, with Giorgos Kalyvas and Vassilis Pagonis as his deputies, a new board and supposedly 1,7 million euros in emergency funds. He ushered in by former coach [[Angelos Anastasiadis]], currently in charge of the Cypriot national team.<br />
<br />
PAOK's acute financial straits, which have shown no sign of recovery, were dealt a further blow last month when a former coach at the club, Austrian [[Rolf Fringer]], filed a case with soccer's international governing body for back wages owed to him by the Thessaloniki team (he is reportedly owed 200,000 euros).<br />
<br />
On [[November 13]], [[2006]], PAOK owner [[Yiannis Goumenos]] resigned amid a financial crisis that could relegate the club to the second division of the Greek league.<br />
<br />
Negotiations by Argentina-based ship-owner Yiannis Kambanis and entrepreneur [[Ivan Savvidis]] to buy PAOK collapsed in June, bringing Greece's fourth largest soccer club to the verge of bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The amateur division's boss, [[Thanassis Katsaris]], has already approached prominent [[Thessaloniki]]-based entrepreneurs in search of emergency funds and a takeover deal.<br />
<br />
As of [[August 10]], [[2012]] [[Ivan Savvidis]] acquired ownership of PAOK.<br />
<br />
On [[May 12]], [[2015]] Savvidis paid all of the club's debts to the Greek State, an amount that totalled at € 10,886,81.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150521133136/http://olapaok.gr/podosfairo/Dioikitika/________/sthn_eforia_o_savvidhs_mesa_sthn_epomenh_wra.3463743.html</ref><br />
<br />
PAOK since then became a power again in Greek football, winning [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] for three consecutive years in [[2017]], [[2018]] and [[2019]] and the first League title in 34 years in [[2019]] and that without a loss. The 2018/2019-season was the best ever in the history of the club as PAOK won the “double” for the first time.<br />
<br />
In 2021 PAOK was the first Greek club to qualify for the Group Stage of the new Europa Conference League of UEFA. On [[December 9]], [[2021]] PAOK was qualified for the knock-out stage, as they ended second in their group. On [[February 24]], [[2022]] PAOK managed for the first time - after five failures - to advance to the next round after the European winterbreak. At the same time PAOK managed to win a penalty shootout for the first time after four failures. The tie against FC Midtjylland of Denmark ended 2-2 on aggregate and 5-3 after penalties.<br />

== History of PAOK ==<br />
PAOK was founded in April [[1926]] by notable Constantinopolitans who arrived in [[Thessaloniki]], after the exchange of population between Greece and Turkey, according to the Lausanne treaty of [[1924]]. These people were: L. Nikolaidis, K. Komitsopoulos, D. Mitsionis, the Dimitriadis brothers, the MP Koultatsoglou, Kouemtzopoulos, Karamaounas and a few more. The constitution of PAOK, with index number 822, was legitimated by the [[City Court of Thessaloniki]] on [[April 28]], [[1926]].<br />
<br />
PAOK’s first emblem, adopted in [[1926]], was a four-leaved clover and a horse shoe. The leaves were green with the letters PAOK marked on each of them, a symbol devised by Kostas Koemtzopoulos who took the idea from a packet of cigarettes he smoked.<br />
<br />
The decision to merge with the club AEK Thessaloniki can also be considered to be of historic importance. Until [[March 20|20th March]] [[1929]] the two clubs were rivals, competing against each other although both had been established by refugees from [[Constantinople]]. It was the Chairman of AEK, Dr. Karamaounas, who brokered the merger between Thessaloniki’s two refugee teams. The main figures behind the idea and its implementation were Fanourios Vyzantios and Pantelis Kalpaktsoglou who had defected from AEK Thessaloniki, which had been established in 1924-25 by the first wave of refugees who had come to [[Thessaloniki]] from [[Constantinople]] in [[1922]]. Certain members of AEK Thessaloniki headed south to the capital upon the merger to found the modern-day team [[AEK FC|AEK]].<br />
<br />
Following the merger with AEK in [[1929]], PAOK changed its emblem. The new emblem became the [[Two-headed eagle|Two-headed Eagle]], which remains to this day, and symbolizes the arrival of the club and the return to the roots and heritage of the refugees ([[Byzantium]] and [[Constantinople]]). The Eagle holds a sword and a crown with its two heads looking East and West. The difference between this emblem and that of [[AEK FC|AEK Athens]] (which is also the symbol of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) is that the eagle on PAOK’s emblem has its wings folded signifying mourning for expulsion from the homeland.<br />
<br />
The first section to be founded was [[Football (soccer)|soccer]]. Later on, in [[1928]], other sections were also founded such as [[basketball]], volleyball, athletics, swimming, water polo, boxing and cycling. <br />
<br />
The soccer team was put in the second division of the local championship of Thessaloniki. The following year, it was promoted to the first division, after beating [[Iraklis FC|Iraklis]], who were the champions of Thessaloniki, 1-0. From this point on, the football team was established as one of the top Greek teams with a great and fanatical crowd all over [[Greece]] and beyond. The first stadium was built in the area of the [[Aristotle University|University of Thessaloniki]].<br />
<br />
The first foreign coach in the history of the team was German [[Rudolph Ganser]], who served with PAOK for the 1931-[[1932]] season.<br />
<br />
On [[February 20]], [[1938]] [[Nikos Sotiriadis]] became the first ever international player for the club in a [[1938]] World Cup qualifier against Palestine.<br />
<br />
In [[1957]], the second stadium was started in the neighborhood of Constantinopolitan immigrants, called [[Toumba Stadium|Toumba]] (Toumba, meaning tomb), which in recent years has become [[Toumba Stadium|the home stadium]]. The new stadium was completed in [[1959]] and inaugurated with a 1-0 friendly victory over [[AEK FC|AEK]] [[Athens]] on [[September 6]], [[1959]].<br />
<br />
The [[1970s]] saw PAOK develop into a contender. Englishman, [[Les Shannon]], coached a team made up of [[Giorgos Koudas]], [[Stavros Sarafis]], [[Dimitris Paridis]], [[Achilleas Aslanidis]], [[Neto Guerino]], [[Christos Terzanidis]] and others, nearly winning the championship in [[1973 Football Championship|1973]]. [[1976 Football Championship|Three years later]], PAOK handily won the title that eluded them in 1973. Meanwhile, PAOK also won the [[Greek Football Cup|Cup]]: in [[1972]] and [[1974]], the latter under Ulsterman [[Billy Bingham]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorgos Koudas]] retired in [[1984]]. The following season, PAOK won their second league title. [[Kostas Iosifidis]] has the distinction of having been a member of both [[1976]] and [[1985]] teams.<br />

In recent years, PAOK, like most professional soccer teams in Greece, has been hit by financial problems, but managed to win the [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] in [[2001]] and [[2003]].<br />
<br />
In late [[2003]], [[Yiannis Goumenos]] arrived at PAOK, with a considerable background in insurance and stock-broking, with Giorgos Kalyvas and Vassilis Pagonis as his deputies, a new board and supposedly 1,7 million euros in emergency funds. He ushered in by former coach [[Angelos Anastasiadis]], currently in charge of the Cypriot national team.<br />
<br />
PAOK's acute financial straits, which have shown no sign of recovery, were dealt a further blow last month when a former coach at the club, Austrian [[Rolf Fringer]], filed a case with soccer's international governing body for back wages owed to him by the Thessaloniki team (he is reportedly owed 200,000 euros).<br />
<br />
On [[November 13]], [[2006]], PAOK owner [[Yiannis Goumenos]] resigned amid a financial crisis that could relegate the club to the second division of the Greek league.<br />
<br />
Negotiations by Argentina-based ship-owner Yiannis Kambanis and entrepreneur [[Ivan Savvidis]] to buy PAOK collapsed in June, bringing Greece's fourth largest soccer club to the verge of bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The amateur division's boss, [[Thanassis Katsaris]], has already approached prominent [[Thessaloniki]]-based entrepreneurs in search of emergency funds and a takeover deal.<br />
<br />
As of [[August 10]], [[2012]] [[Ivan Savvidis]] acquired ownership of PAOK.<br />
<br />
On [[May 12]], [[2015]] Savvidis paid all of the club's debts to the Greek State, an amount that totalled at € 10,886,81.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150521133136/http://olapaok.gr/podosfairo/Dioikitika/________/sthn_eforia_o_savvidhs_mesa_sthn_epomenh_wra.3463743.html</ref><br />
<br />
PAOK since then became a power again in Greek football, winning [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] for three consecutive years in [[2017]], [[2018]] and [[2019]] and the first League title in 34 years in [[2019]] and that without a loss. The 2018/2019-season was the best ever in the history of the club as PAOK won the “double” for the first time.<br />
<br />
In 2021 PAOK was the first Greek club to qualify for the Group Stage of the new Europa Conference League of UEFA. On [[December 9]], [[2021]] PAOK was qualified for the knock-out stage, as they ended second in their group. On [[February 24]], [[2022]] PAOK managed for the first time - after five failures - to advance to the next round after the European winterbreak. At the same time PAOK managed to win a penalty shootout for the first time after four failures. The tie against FC Midtjylland of Denmark ended 2-2 on aggregate and 5-3 after penalties.<br />

== History of PAOK ==<br />
PAOK was founded in April [[1926]] by notable Constantinopolitans who arrived in [[Thessaloniki]], after the exchange of population between Greece and Turkey, according to the Lausanne treaty of [[1924]]. These people were: L. Nikolaidis, K. Komitsopoulos, D. Mitsionis, the Dimitriadis brothers, the MP Koultatsoglou, Kouemtzopoulos, Karamaounas and a few more. The constitution of PAOK, with index number 822, was legitimated by the [[City Court of Thessaloniki]] on [[April 28]], [[1926]].<br />
<br />
PAOK’s first emblem, adopted in [[1926]], was a four-leaved clover and a horse shoe. The leaves were green with the letters PAOK marked on each of them, a symbol devised by Kostas Koemtzopoulos who took the idea from a packet of cigarettes he smoked.<br />
<br />
The decision to merge with the club AEK Thessaloniki can also be considered to be of historic importance. Until [[March 20|20th March]] [[1929]] the two clubs were rivals, competing against each other although both had been established by refugees from [[Constantinople]]. It was the Chairman of AEK, Dr. Karamaounas, who brokered the merger between Thessaloniki’s two refugee teams. The main figures behind the idea and its implementation were Fanourios Vyzantios and Pantelis Kalpaktsoglou who had defected from AEK Thessaloniki, which had been established in 1924-25 by the first wave of refugees who had come to [[Thessaloniki]] from [[Constantinople]] in [[1922]]. Certain members of AEK Thessaloniki headed south to the capital upon the merger to found the modern-day team [[AEK FC|AEK]].<br />
<br />
Following the merger with AEK in [[1929]], PAOK changed its emblem. The new emblem became the [[Two-headed eagle|Two-headed Eagle]], which remains to this day, and symbolizes the arrival of the club and the return to the roots and heritage of the refugees ([[Byzantium]] and [[Constantinople]]). The Eagle holds a sword and a crown with its two heads looking East and West. The difference between this emblem and that of [[AEK FC|AEK Athens]] (which is also the symbol of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) is that the eagle on PAOK’s emblem has its wings folded signifying mourning for expulsion from the homeland.<br />
<br />
The first section to be founded was [[Football (soccer)|soccer]]. Later on, in [[1928]], other sections were also founded such as [[basketball]], volleyball, athletics, swimming, water polo, boxing and cycling. <br />
<br />
The soccer team was put in the second division of the local championship of Thessaloniki. The following year, it was promoted to the first division, after beating [[Iraklis FC|Iraklis]], who were the champions of Thessaloniki, 1-0. From this point on, the football team was established as one of the top Greek teams with a great and fanatical crowd all over [[Greece]] and beyond. The first stadium was built in the area of the [[Aristotle University|University of Thessaloniki]].<br />
<br />
The first foreign coach in the history of the team was German [[Rudolph Ganser]], who served with PAOK for the 1931-[[1932]] season.<br />
<br />
On [[February 20]], [[1938]] [[Nikos Sotiriadis]] became the first ever international player for the club in a [[1938]] World Cup qualifier against Palestine.<br />
<br />
In [[1957]], the second stadium was started in the neighborhood of Constantinopolitan immigrants, called [[Toumba Stadium|Toumba]] (Toumba, meaning tomb), which in recent years has become [[Toumba Stadium|the home stadium]]. The new stadium was completed in [[1959]] and inaugurated with a 1-0 friendly victory over [[AEK FC|AEK]] [[Athens]] on [[September 6]], [[1959]].<br />
<br />
The [[1970s]] saw PAOK develop into a contender. Englishman, [[Les Shannon]], coached a team made up of [[Giorgos Koudas]], [[Stavros Sarafis]], [[Dimitris Paridis]], [[Achilleas Aslanidis]], [[Neto Guerino]], [[Christos Terzanidis]] and others, nearly winning the championship in [[1973 Football Championship|1973]]. [[1976 Football Championship|Three years later]], PAOK handily won the title that eluded them in 1973. Meanwhile, PAOK also won the [[Greek Football Cup|Cup]]: in [[1972]] and [[1974]], the latter under Ulsterman [[Billy Bingham]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorgos Koudas]] retired in [[1984]]. The following season, PAOK won their second league title. [[Kostas Iosifidis]] has the distinction of having been a member of both [[1976]] and [[1985]] teams.<br />
<br />
==Recent Years==<br />
In recent years, PAOK, like most professional soccer teams in Greece, has been hit by financial problems, but managed to win the [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] in [[2001]] and [[2003]].<br />
<br />
In late [[2003]], [[Yiannis Goumenos]] arrived at PAOK, with a considerable background in insurance and stock-broking, with Giorgos Kalyvas and Vassilis Pagonis as his deputies, a new board and supposedly 1,7 million euros in emergency funds. He ushered in by former coach [[Angelos Anastasiadis]], currently in charge of the Cypriot national team.<br />
<br />
PAOK's acute financial straits, which have shown no sign of recovery, were dealt a further blow last month when a former coach at the club, Austrian [[Rolf Fringer]], filed a case with soccer's international governing body for back wages owed to him by the Thessaloniki team (he is reportedly owed 200,000 euros).<br />
<br />
On [[November 13]], [[2006]], PAOK owner [[Yiannis Goumenos]] resigned amid a financial crisis that could relegate the club to the second division of the Greek league.<br />
<br />
Negotiations by Argentina-based ship-owner Yiannis Kambanis and entrepreneur [[Ivan Savvidis]] to buy PAOK collapsed in June, bringing Greece's fourth largest soccer club to the verge of bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The amateur division's boss, [[Thanassis Katsaris]], has already approached prominent [[Thessaloniki]]-based entrepreneurs in search of emergency funds and a takeover deal.<br />
<br />
As of [[August 10]], [[2012]] [[Ivan Savvidis]] acquired ownership of PAOK.<br />
<br />
On [[May 12]], [[2015]] Savvidis paid all of the club's debts to the Greek State, an amount that totalled at € 10,886,81.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150521133136/http://olapaok.gr/podosfairo/Dioikitika/________/sthn_eforia_o_savvidhs_mesa_sthn_epomenh_wra.3463743.html</ref><br />
<br />
PAOK since then became a power again in Greek football, winning [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] for three consecutive years in [[2017]], [[2018]] and [[2019]] and the first League title in 34 years in [[2019]] and that without a loss. The 2018/2019-season was the best ever in the history of the club as PAOK won the “double” for the first time.<br />
<br />
In 2021 PAOK was the first Greek club to qualify for the Group Stage of the new Europa Conference League of UEFA. On [[December 9]], [[2021]] PAOK was qualified for the knock-out stage, as they ended second in their group. On [[February 24]], [[2022]] PAOK managed for the first time - after five failures - to advance to the next round after the European winterbreak. At the same time PAOK managed to win a penalty shootout for the first time after four failures. The tie against FC Midtjylland of Denmark ended 2-2 on aggregate and 5-3 after penalties.<br />

'''Thessaloníki''' or '''Salonica''' ([[Greek]]: Θεσσαλονίκη) is the second-largest city of [[Greece]] and is the principal, the largest city, and the capital of the Greek region of [[Macedonia]]. It is also the capital of the [[Thessaloniki prefecture]] and the capital of the [[Region (Europe)|EU region]] (or, synonymously, [[Peripheries of Greece|Greek periphery]]) of [[Central Macedonia]]. The popular [[Greek language|Greek]] name Σαλονίκη gives it its alternate English name&mdash;formerly the common name&mdash;Salonika or Salonica and the South Slavic Солун Solun, Ladino סלוניקה, and Turkish Selânik. The metropolitan area has a total population of around 1,000,000, and lies in a bay of the [[Thermaic Gulf]] at the head of the [[Chalkidiki]] Peninsula. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Ancient times===<br />
<br />
The city was founded around [[315 BC]] by [[Cassander]], the King of [[Macedon]], on or <br />
near the site of the ancient town of Therma and 26 other local villages. He named it after <br />
his wife Thessalonica, the sister of [[Alexander the Great]]. She gained her <br />
name from her father, [[Philip II of Macedon]], to commemorate her birth on the day of his <br />
gaining a victory (nike) over the Thessalians.<br />
<br />
Thessaloniki developed rapidly and as early as the 2nd century BC the first Hellenistic<br />
walls were built, forming a large square. It was, as all the other contemporary Greek cities,<br />
an autonomous part of the [[Macedon]] kingdom, with its own parliament (''Εκκλησία του Δήμου'')<br />
but the king was represented and could interfere in the city's domestic affairs.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Thessaloniki-White Tower.jpg|thumb|220px|left|The White Tower]]<br />
<br />
===Roman times===<br />
<br />
After the fall of the kingdom of [[Macedon]] in [[146 BC]], Thessaloníki became part of the <br />
Roman Empire. It became an important trading centre on the [[Via Egnatia]], a Roman road <br />
that connected [[Byzantium]] (later [[Constantinople]], now Istanbul) with [[Dyrrhachium]] <br />
(now Durrës in Albania). The city was made the capital of one of the four Roman districts <br />
of Macedonia, kept her privileges but was ruled by a praetor and had a Roman garrison. For<br />
a short time in the 1st century BC all the Greek provinces were subsumed to her.<br />
<br />
Due to the city's great commercial importance, a spacious harbour was built by the Romans,<br />
the famous ''Burrow Harbour'' (''Σκαπτός Λιμήν'') that accommodated the city up to the 18th<br />
century but covered later. Remnants of the harbour's docks can be found nowadays under Frangon<br />
Street, near the Catholic Church.<br />
<br />
Thessaloniki's acropolis, located in the northern hills, was built in [[55 BC]] after [[Thrace|Thracian]]<br />
raids in the city's outskirts for security reasons. <br />
<br />
<br />
It had a sizeable Jewish colony, established during the 1st century AD and was an early centre <br />
of Christianity. On his second missionary journey, St Paul preached in the city's synagogue, <br />
the chief synagogue of the Jews in that part of Thessaloniki, and laid the foundations of a church. <br />
Opposition against him from the Jews drove him from the city, and he fled to [[Veroia]].<br />
<br />
Thessaloníki acquired a patron saint, [[St. Demetrius]], in [[306]] AD. He was the Roman proconsul <br />
of Greece under the anti-Christian emperor Maximian and was martyred at a Roman prison, where<br />
today lays the [[Church of St. Demetrius]], first built by the Roman sub-prefect of Illiricum, Leontios<br />
in [[463]] AD.<br />
<br />
===Byzantine era and Middle Ages===<br />
<br />
When the Roman Empire was divided into eastern and western segments ruled from Byzantium/Constantinople and Rome respectively, Thessaloníki came under the control of the [[Byzantine Empire]]. Its importance was second only to Constantinople itself. After a revolt against the emperor [[Theodosius I]] in [[390]] against his Gothic troops, 7,000 - 15,000 of the citizens were massacred in the city's hippodrome in revenge &ndash; an act which earned Theodosius a temporary excommunication. <br />
<br />
A quiet and prosperous era follows until repeated barbarian invasions after the fall of the Roman Empire, while a catastrophic earthquake severely damaged the city in [[620]] resulting in the destruction of the Roman Forum and several other public buildings.<br />
Thessaloníki itself came under attack from Slavs in the 7th century. They failed to capture the city but a sizeable Slavic community nonetheless established around the city, that Byzantine<br />
sources call ''Sklavinies''. Greek brothers [[Saint Cyril]] and [[Saint Methodius]] were born in Thessaloníki and the Byzantine Emperor [[Michael III]] encouraged them to visit the northern Slavic regions as missionaries; their adopted South Slavonic speech became the basis for the Old Church Slavonic language. In the 9th century, the Byzantines decided to move the market for <br />
Bulgarian goods from Constantinople to Thessaloníki. Tsar Simeon I of Bulgaria invaded Thrace, defeated a Byzantine army and forced the empire to move the market back to Constantinople. <br />
<br />
A new era of invasions comes next and at [[904]], Saracens based at [[Crete]] managed to<br />
seize the city and after a ten day depredation, left with much loot and 22,000 slaves, mostly<br />
young people. Also, in [[1185]] the Norman rulers of Sicily, under the leadership of<br />
Count Baldwin and Riccardo d'Acerra attacked and occupied the city, resulting in considerable destruction. But their rule lasted less that a year, since they were defeated in two battles later that year by the Byzantine army and forced to evacuate the city.<br />
<br />
<br />
It passed out of Byzantine hands again in [[1204]], when Constantinople was captured <br />
by the [[Fourth Crusade]] in [[1204]]. Thessaloníki and its surrounding territory&mdash;the [[Kingdom of Thessalonica]]&mdash;became the largest fief of the [[Latin Empire]], covering most of north and central Greece. It was given by the emperor [[Baldwin]] I to his rival [[Boniface of Montferrat]] but in [[1224]] it was seized by [[Michael Ducas]], the Greek Despot of Epirus. The city was recovered by the Byzantine Empire in [[1246]].<br />
<br />
At that time, despite the various invasions, Thessaloniki had a large population and flourishing commerce. That resulted in an intellectual and artistic florescence that can be traced in the numerous churches and their frescoes of that era and also by the names of scholars that taught there. (Thomas Magististos, Dimitrios Triklinios, Nikiforos Choumnos, Kostantinos Armenopoulos, Neilos Kavassilas, etc)<br />
<br />
In the 14th century though, the city was appalled by the [[Zealotes, Thessalonica|Zelotes]] social movement (1342-1349). It began as a religious conflict between bishop [[Gregory Palamas|Gregorios Palamas]], who supported conservative ideas and the monk [[Barlaam of Calabria|Barlaam]], who introduced progressive social ones. Quickly, it turned into a political commotion, leading to the prevalence of the ''Zelotes'', who for a while ruled the city, applying progressive social policies.<br />
<br />
But the [[Byzantine Empire]], unable to hold it against the encroachments of the Ottoman Empire, was forced to sell it to Venice, who held it until it was captured by the Ottoman ruler Murad II in [[1430]]. <br />
<br />
Thessaloníki, remained in Ottoman hands until [[1912]] and became one of the most important cities in the Empire, with a large modern port being built in 1901. The founder of modern Turkey, Kemal Atatürk, was born there in [[1881]], and the Young Turk movement was headquartered there in the early 20th century. The city was extremely multicultural; of its 130,000 inhabitants at the start of the century, around 60,000 were Sephardic Jews, whose ancestors had been expelled from Spain and Portugal after [[1492]]. Some Romaniotes Jews were also present. Greeks, Turks, Bulgarians and Albanians made up the bulk of the remainder of the population<br />
<br />
===Modern times===<br />
[[Image:Flag_img_4182.jpg|thumb|300px|The Mayor, [[Vassilios Papageorgopoulos]] presents the new flag of the Municipality]]<br />
Thessaloníki was the main prize of the [[First Balkan War]] of [[1912]], during which it was successfully captured by Greece (October 1912). [[King George I]] of Greece was assassinated in Thessaloníki in March [[1913]].<br />
<br />
In [[1915]], during [[World War I]], a large Allied expeditionary force landed at Thessaloníki to use the city as the base for an offensive against pro-German Bulgaria. A pro-Allied temporary government headed by [[Eleftherios Venizelos]] was established there, against the will of the pro-neutral King of Greece. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most of the town was destroyed by a single fire on [[August 5]], [[1917]] possibly caused by the French expeditionary forces but probably an accident. 74,000 persons were rendered homeless and the Jewish sector of the city was completely destroyed. Venizelos forbade the reconstruction of the town center until a full modern city plan was prepared. This was accomplished a few years later by the French architect and archeologist Ernest Hebrard. The Hebrard plan swept away the Oriental features of Thessaloníki and transformed it to a European style city.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the fire saw close to half the city's Jewish population, their homes and livelihoods destroyed, emigrate. Many went to Palestine. Some stepped onto the Orient Express to Paris. Still others found their way to America. Their numbers were quickly replaced by refugees from another disaster a few years after the war, when huge numbers of ethnic Greeks were expelled from Turkey in [[1922]] following the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Greco-Turkish War]]. The city expanded enormously as a result. It was nicknamed "The Refugee Capital" (''I Protévoussa ton Prosfígon'') and "Mother of the Poor" (''Ftohomána''), and even today the city's inhabitants and culture are distinctively [[Anatolia|Anatolian]] in character.<br />
<br />
Thessaloníki fell to the forces of Nazi Germany in [[1941]] and remained under German occupation until [[1944]]. The city suffered considerable damage from Allied bombing, and almost the entire Jewish population was exterminated by the Nazis. Barely a thousand Jews survived. However, Thessaloníki was rebuilt fairly quickly after the war. In [[1978]], it was badly damaged by an earthquake.<br />
<br />
Thessaloniki became the European City of Culture for [[1997]].<br />
<br />
The city has two universities &ndash; the [[Aristotle University of Thessaloniki]], the largest university in Greece (founded [[1926]]) and the [[University of Macedonia]].<br />
<br />
In [[2004]], the city hosted some of the [[football (soccer)|football]] events of the [[2004 Summer Olympics]].<br />

==Transportation==<br />
<br />
Thessaloniki did not have a superhighway until the [[1970s]]. Thessaloniki is accessed with [[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] for Athens, [[Greece Interstate 4|GR-4]], [[Greece Interstate 2|GR-2]], Via Egnatia/[[E90]] and [[Greece Interstate 12|GR-12]]/[[European route E85|E85]] for Serres and Sofia. In the [[1970s]], the superhighway reached Thessaloniki and was the last section of the GR-1 ever to be completed; another short section of the superhighway was also opened. In the [[1980s]], the 2-lane bypass of Thessaloniki began construction and was finally opened to traffic running from the west side up to the other side of Thessaloniki to its southeast approaching [[Thermi]]. In [[2001]], an overpass closed the bypass for a few days and tore down an overpass for lane expansions. The last superhighway expansion was at Via Egnatia northeast of Thessaloniki. The long promised subway system, for which construction is expected to begin in the next few years, will serve Thessaloniki and its area.<br />

<div>'''Aegaleo''', commonly Aigaleo or Egaleo (Greek: Αιγάλεω) is a municipality west of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It is situated west of the [[Cephissos river]]. Its population was 74,046 in [[2001]]. <br />
<br />
Aegaleo received its name from the nearby mountain which, in turn, is derived from Greek words meaning "population of goats" (Αίγα + Λαός). Originally, the area was populated by a few workers of a local factory. After [[1922]], a large number of refugees from [[Asia Minor]] arrived. By [[1934]], the area became a community and by [[1941]] a municipality. Its original name was New Kydoniai after [[Kydonies]] (Ayvalik) in [[Asia Minor]].<br />
<br />
On [[September 29]], [[1944]], German troops executed 31 residents and set a number of local houses on fire killing a further 65. <br />
<br />
Today, one quarter of the municipality is industrialized mainly in the east where the Cephissus valley is located and is connected as the Athens Industrial Area. Its city newspaper since 1985 has the same name with the suburban city called '''Aegaleo'''. <br />
<br />
Aegaleo used to be the seat of Western [[Attica]]. The present ([[2021]]) mayor of the city is Yiannis Gikas ([[New Democracy]]). <br />
<br />
The area has a subway station named Aegaleo. <br />
<br />
Some of the biggest problems for the past few decades were smog and traffic congestion.<br />

[[Image:Aris Velouchiotis 1944.jpeg|thumb|250px|Aris Velouchiotis]]<br />
<br />
'''Aris Velouchiotis''' ('''&#902;&#961;&#951;&#962; &#914;&#949;&#955;&#959;&#965;&#967;&#953;&#974;&#964;&#951;&#962;'''), ([[August 27]], [[1905]]-[[June 16]], [[1945]], real name Thanassis Klaras/Θανάσης Κλάρας) was a prominent leader of the communist segment of Greek guerrilla resistance during [[World War II]] which was followed by the [[Greek Civil War]].<br />
<br />
== Early Years ==<br />
<br />
Klaras was born in [[Lamia]] ([[Greece]]) in [[1905]]. As a youth he participated in the leftist movement of his era and finally became a member of the [[Communist Party of Greece]] (KKE). During the [[Ioannis Metaxas]] dictatorship ([[1936]]-[[1941]]) he was arrested and jailed in the [[Aegina]] prison. During his trial he escaped and joined the illegal mechanism of the Communist Party. He was arrested again in 1939, he was sent to the [[Corfu]] prison and stayed there until he signed a "statement of renouncement" of the Communist Party.<br />
<br />
== World War II ==<br />
<br />
During [[World War II]] he served as an artillery corporal of the Greek army in the Albanian front ([[1940]]-[[1941]]) against Mussolini's army until the Nazi invasion and Greek surrender (April 1941).<br />
<br />
After Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Klaras was sent to [[Central Greece]] (Roumeli) by the Communist Party in order to assess the capacity of the development of a guerrilla movement against the Nazis. His proposals were adopted by the party and consequently in January [[1942]] Klaras moved to the mountains in order to start setting up the guerrilla groups.<br />
<br />
The first appearance of the partisans organized by Klaras was on the 7th of June 1942 in the village of Domnista ([[Evritania]]) in Central Greece. This was also the first time that he appeared under the alias '''Aris Velouchiotis'''. From this time on, he rose to prominence in the [[ELAS]] ("Greek Popular Liberation Army") forces, which he headed along with [[Stephanos Sarafis]].<br />
<br />
One of the most important operations of the Greek resistance movement, in which Velouchiotis and his fighters participated, in cooperation with [[Napoleon Zervas]]' republican/monarchist [[EDES]] resistance forces and British saboteurs, was the blasting of the Gorgopotamos bridge in Lamia (November 1942). Their success disrupted the replenishment of Rommel's German forces in Africa for several days, as the latter took place by means of the [[Thessaloniki]]-[[Athens]] railroad.<br />
<br />
This was to be, however, the last operation to pit the communist-dominated ELAS organization on the same front with Greek Republican resistance forces, who favoured a return to constitutional parliamentary monarchy, as opposed to the communists' aspiration of imposing a communist regime in Greece.<br />
<br />
== The End ==<br />
<br />
In October [[1944]] the Nazis evacuated Greece and the government in exile was reinstated under [[Georgios Papandreou]]. EAM-ELAS - by then the most powerful guerrila force in Greece - resisted, attacking EDES, the British and the government forces. When the [[Varkiza Agreement]] was signed to end clashes between EAM-ELAS communist insurgents and governmental forces, Velouchiotis vehemently refused to comply and collided with the [[Communist Party of Greece]] (KKE) leadership, which then accused him of Trotskyism and treachery, referencing his 1939 statement of renouncement and removing him from the party's member list.<br />
<br />
Velouchiotis moved again towards the mountains of Central Greece, in order to start an insurgency against the legitimate Greek Government and the British allies who supported them. Though most of his associates abandoned him, he continued to conduct guerilla war until, in June 1945, he fell into an ambush by Greek Army forces and died, along with his deputy-commander Tzavellas, by blowing himself up with a hand grenade. Government soldiers proceeded to cut his head off and put it on display in Lamia by hanging it on a lamppost, allowing citizens to do anything they wanted to it, in the same manner that Mussolini's corpse had been desecrated.<br />
<br />
== Controversial figure ==<br />
<br />
Aris Velouchiotis remains one of the most controversial figures of modern Greek history. He is considered by some to be one of the symbols of Greek resistance against Germans. Leftists lionized Aris as a hero of the communist cause and have made him the subject of a personality cult comparable only to those of Ernesto Che Guevara, Stalin and Mao Ze Dong.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, however, part of the Greek public see Aris as the perpetrator of brutal mass atrocities against defenseless rural populations perceived as negative to their "socialist cause", attacks against non-communist Greek resistance forces, and insurgency against the installed government after Greece had been liberated from the Nazis.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Stefanos Tsitsipas''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Στέφανος Τσιτσιπάς; Russian: Стефанос Циципас; born [[August 12]], [[1998]]) in [[Athens]] is a professional tennis player from Greece and the current Greek No. 1. <br />
<br />
Tsitsipas is the son of a Greek father, Apostolos Tsitsipas and a Russian mother, former pro-tennis player Julia Apostoli. His grandfather, Sergei Salnikov, was a Soviet football player and manager.<br />
<br />
Tsitsipas is a former world number one junior tennis player. His junior highlights include winning the Trofeo Bonfiglio, a 'Grade A' event in Milan, Italy. He is the winner of the Boys' Doubles at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships together with Kenneth Raisma, thus becoming the second male Greek tennis player to win a Grand Slam title at any division and the first one in the Open Era, with the first male Greek tennis player in history to win a Grand Slam title being [[Nicky Kalogeropoulos]], the winner of the 1963 Roland Garros and Wimbledon boys' singles tournaments.<br />
<br />
<br />
On [[April 29]], [[2018]] Tsitsipas played his first ever ATP-final in Barcelona, losing 6-2, 6-1 to defending champion and worlds #1 Rafael Nadal. On [[August 12]], [[2018]] Tsitsipas reached his second final in Montréal losing again to Rafa Nadal with 2-0 (6-2 and 7-6) in sets. On [[October 21]], [[2018]] Tsitsipas won his first ATP-title beating qualifier Ernests Gulbis from Latvia 6-4, 6-4 in Stockholm in his third final.<br />
<br />
Tsitsipas won the final of the Next Gen Finals in Milan on [[November 11]], [[2018]]. His opponent was Alex de Minaur from Australia. This Next Gen tournament is for the best players in the ATP-ranking 21 years old or younger.<br />
<br />
In January [[2019]] Tsitsipas reached (as the first Greek tennis-player ever) to the semi final of the Australian Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. Once again Rafa Nadal was the man who stopped him from bigger success. Biggest scalp of Tsitsipas in his run to the semifinal was Roger Federer, winner of 20 Grand Slam single titles.<br />
<br />
On [[February 24]], [[2019]] Tsitsipas won his second ATP-title in Marseille beating Michail Kukushin (from Kazachstan) 7-5, 7-6.<br />
<br />
On [[March 2]], [[2019]] he played his second ATP-final in a row (this time in Dubai) but lost to Roger Federer 4-6, 4-6.<br />
<br />
On [[November 17]], [[2019]] Tsitsipas won the ATP Finals in London at his debut, beating Austrian Dominic Thiem 6-7 (6), 6-2 and 7-6 (4) in the final.<br />
<br />
On [[April 18]], [[2021]] he won the 2021 Monte-Carlo Masters, beating Andrey Rublev (Russia) 6-3 and 6-3 in the final.<br />
<br />
On [[June 11]], [[2021]], Tsitsipas defeated Alexander Zverev and became the first Greek to reach the final of the French Open. In the final Novak Djokovic was too tough to beat. Tsitsipas won the first two sets but eventually lost the other three and thus this final (2-3).<br />
<br />
On [[January 29]], [[2023]] Tsitsipas reached another final of a so called Grand Slam, the Australian Open. Yet again Novak Djokovic as his opponent and he lost 3-0 in sets. <br />
<br />
Best results in the Grand Slam singles:<br />
<br />
Australian Open: finalist (2023) //<br />
French Open: finalist (2021) //<br />
Wimbledon: fourth round (2018) //<br />
US Open: third round (2020 and 2021)<br />

==Club History==<br />
===1920s - 1930s===<br />
A group of refugees that came to [[Athens]] in [[1922]] had a great desire to keep their home-land tradition going by creating on [[April 13]], [[1924]] the '''Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos''' ('''AEK''') soccer club. This was not the rebirth of one of the clubs that used to be in [[Constantinople]] (now Istanbul) but a brand new team. The reason that this team was formed was to keep tradition going, as well as to keep all the Constantinople refugees united.<br />
<br />
This new club created by these refugees not only grew strong roots and followers from Constantinople but throughout Greece as well. Since its inception the club has always been a contender in the Greek soccer championship. The individuals responsible for creating AEK were Aimilios and Menelaos Ionas, and Kostas Dimopoulos who had sports stores in Athens. It was in these stores that young people from Constantinople used to gather and throw out ideas of creating a soccer club.<br />
<br />
It was on 13th April 1924 night that the Ionas brothers, Kostas Dimopoulos, Miltos <br />
Ieremiadis, Timoleon Tagaris, Menelaos Karotseris, Paulos Kehayas, and [[Kostas Spanoudis]] (a man that worshipped sports) made the decision to create a soccer club. The name was to be Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, it's crest was to be the Byzantine "[[two-headed eagle]]", and the colors of the team yellow and black.<br />
<br />
<div style="float:left;padding:10px;">[[Image:AEK-old.png|thumb|80px|center|The old team crest]]</div><br />
[[Image:AEK-team1949.jpg|thumb|250px|right|1949 team photo]]<br />
The first board of directors was comprised of Kostas Spanoudis (President), Nikos Eleopoulos (Vice President), Kostas Dimopoulos (General Secretary), Timoleon Tagaris (Treasurer), and Menelaos Karotseris and Miltos Ieremiadis (board members). These were the beginning stages for the soon to be club that would unite all the Greeks from Constantinople, [[Asia Minor]] and from all parts of the country.<br />
<br />
The first team consisted from Kitsios, M. Ieremiadis, Asderis, Kehayas, Paraskevas, Dimopoulos, Karagiannidis, Baltas, Milas, Iliadis, and Georgiadis. One of the first hurdles that AEK encountered was the absence of a soccer pitch. In the first days of the club the players used to have practice at the grounds of the [[Temple of Zeus|Zeus Temple]] but later they were invited to use the Panathinaikos stadium.<br />
<br />
In November [[1924]], AEK played it's first game against Aias Athens and won 2-0.<br />
<br />
In [[1928]], AEK joined [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] and [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]] in their dispute with the [[Hellenic Football Federation]] ([[EPO]]) and did not participate in the first official Greek football championship.<br />
<br />
By [[1929]], the dispute was resolved. AEK won their first title in [[1932]]: the very first [[Greek Football Cup]] ever contested. By the late [[1930s]], AEK became a powerhouse winning two consecutive league titles ([[1939 Football Championship|1939]], [[1940]]) and became the first Greek club to win the domestic double in [[1939]].<br />
<br />
===1940s - 1950s===<br />
[[World War II]] brought AEK's streak to an end, however the war did not affect their squad, unlike Olympiakos and Panathinaikos who lost players either in the war itself or the civil disturbances that followed it commencing in December, [[1944]] ([[Dekemvriana]]). <br />
During the German occupation of the country, AEK won two unofficial titles in [[1941]] and [[1943]]. Yet, the late [[1940s]] and the [[1950s]] were dry years for AEK league-wise. Success was limited to winning the Greek Cup in [[1949]], [[1950]] and [[1956]].<br />
<br />
[[1930s]] superstar, [[Kleanthis Maropoulos]] retired in the late [[1940s]] but a new name arrived in Nea Filadelfia in [[1957]]: [[Kostas Nestoridis]]. <br />
===1960s===<br />
Led by "Nestoras", AEK came within a whisker of winning the first Greek national title in [[1960 Football Championship|1960]]: with just one game remaining, they were two points ahead of [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]]. However, disaster struck as they lost to [[Panionios FC|Panionios]] to finish even on points with Panathinaikos. The one-game playoff was won by the greens 2-1, leaving AEK supporters with very bitter memories of what might have been.<br />
<br />
The [[1963 Football Championship|1963]] season started with a new coach at AEK's helm - German-based Hungarian [[Jeno Csaknady]] - and a young forward from [[Veria]] on the roster - [[Mimis Papaioannou]]. Panathinaikos seemed poised to repeat their achievement of winning the previous national championships, when, in a reversal of [[1960 Football Championship|1960]], they unexpectedly lost 4-2 to [[Ethnikos Piraeus FC|Ethnikos Piraeus]] and finished the season even on points with AEK, with the yellow-black club having the advantage in goal differential. AEK led the one-game playoff 3-1 only to be equalised 3-3. A fourth Panathinaikos goal was disallowed and AEK were champions once more after a drought of 20 years.<br />
Csaknady left but returned, once more, to lead AEK to the championship in [[1968 Football Championship|1968]]. During the [[1960s]], AEK was awarded the Greek Cup in [[1964]] and [[1966]], both times without playing a final game. <br />
[[Image:Papaioannou-Mavros.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Mimis Papaioannou]] and [[Thomas Mavros]] at a more recent date.]]<br />
In [[1969]] AEK became the first Greek football club that reached the quarter-final of<br />
European Champions Cup.<br />
<br />
===1970s===<br />
Coached by [[Branko Stankovic]] and led by Papaioannou, AEK managed to win the national title in [[1971]]. That same year, a 17-year old lad broke into the regular lineup of the second-place finisher [[Panionios FC|Panionios]]. He would, in time, tie his name with the decade that AEK supporters remember fondly. His name: [[Thomas Mavros]].<br />
In [[1974]], [[Loukas Barlos]], an [[Aris FC|Aris]] supporter from [[Thessaloniki]], assumed the Presidency of the club. He hired [[Frantisek Fadrhonc]] to replace Stankovic as coach and staffed AEK's roster with such talent as: Mavros, [[Giorgos Dedes|Dedes]], [[Giorgos Skrekis|Skrekis]] and the Intzoglou brothers from Panionios, speedster [[Christos Ardizoglou]] from [[Apollon Athens FC|Apollon Athens]], [[Takis Nikoloudis|Nikoloudis]] from Iraklis and [[Dusan Bajevic]] from abroad.<br />
In [[1977]], Barlos' investments paid off handsomely in Europe as AEK reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup (being the unique Greek football club having achieved this record),<br />
eliminating Dynamo Moscow (2-0,1-2), Derby County (2-0,3-2), Red Star (2-0,1-3) and Queens<br />
Park Rangers (0-3,3-0 and 7-6 on penalty-kicks).<br />
The next two years would see AEK win 2 Greek championships, 1 double and another one time<br />
to be cup-finalist.<br />
<br />
===1980s===<br />
The [[1980s]] started with the resignation, in June, of President [[Loukas Barlos]].<br />
During the 1980s, AEK won only 3 titles: The Greek Cup of [[1983]] by defeating [[PAOK FC|PAOK]] 2-0 (Mavros, [[Vangelis Vlachos|V.Vlachos]]) at OAKA, in front of 75.000 fans.<br />
The Championship of [[1989 Football Championship|1989]] by defeating Olympiakos 1-0 ([[Takis Karagiozopoulos|Karagiozopoulos]]) at OAKA on [[May 7|7th May]]<br />
[[1989]] (one of the best days of AEK fans) and the Super-Cup of 1989 by defeating Panathinaikos on penalty kicks (1-1 normal time) at OAKA on 30th August 1989.<br />
<br />
The latter title came in the first year of the reign of AEK's former striker, [[Dusan Bajevic]], as coach. More would follow...<br />
<br />
===1990s===<br />
The decade of [[1990s]] was the best for AEK, as they won 3 consecutive Championships ([[1992 Football Championship|1992]], [[1993 Football Championship|1993]] and [[1994 Football Championship|1994]]) and 2 consecutive Cups (1996 by defeating [[Apollon Athens FC|Apollon Athens]] 7-1 at [[OAKA Stadium|OAKA]] and 1997 by defeating [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] on penalty kicks at [[Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium|Karaiskaki]], as the regulation time score was 0-0.<br />
In addition, AEK won the League Cup of 1990 (by beating [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]] 3-2 at [[OAKA Stadium|OAKA]]), the<br />
Mediterranean Cup of 1991 (by beating [[OFI FC|OFI]] 1-0 at [[Rizoupolis Stadium|Rizoupoli]]) and the Super Cup of 1996 by again defeating Panathinaikos on penalty kicks at Karaiskaki (1-1 at the normal time of game).<br />
In 1994-1995, AEK became the first Greek football club to participate in the group stage of the Champions League (best 16 teams of Europe) by defeating Glascow Rangers twice (2-0 at [[Nikos Goumas Stadium|Nea Filadelphia]] and 1-0 in Scotland).<br />
At 1996-1997 AEK reached the quarter finals of Cup Winners' Cup and simultaneously became<br />
the only Greek football club to have taken part at the quarter final of all European<br />
Competitions.<br />
At 1997-1998 AEK reached the quarter finals of Cup Winners' Cup for a 2nd consecutive season<br />
and became the first Greek football cup to have achieved such a record.<br />
<br />
===2000s===<br />
AEK won the [[Greek Football Cup]] in [[2000]] (by besting [[Ionikos FC|Ionikos]] 3-0 at [[OAKA]]) and [[2002]] (by defeating Olympiakos 2-1, also at OAKA). They also became the first Greek football club to reach the fourth round of the UEFA Cup in three consecutive seasons ([[2001]], [[2002]], [[2003]]).<br />
In addition, AEK became the only Greek football club that participated in the group stage of the Champions' League ([[2002]]-[[2003]]) without losing a single game (0-0 and 1-1 with Genk,<br />
3-3 and 2-2 with Real Madrid and 0-0 and 1-1 with Roma).<br />
In [[2006]]-[[2007]], AEK participated in the group stage of Champions League for the 3rd time in the last 5 years, having defeated Hearts (in the third qualifying round) two times (2-1 in Scotland and 3-0 at OAKA). In the group stage, AEK beat Milan 1-0 and Lille 1-0 at OAKA and took another 2 points from Anderlecht (1-1 at OAKA and 2-2 in Belgium).<br />
In ([[2007]]-[[2008]]), AEK advanced to the third round of the UEFA Cup before being eliminated by Getafe. AEK supporters consoled themselves for the loss of the League title with the thought that their club won the most points on the pitch and would have finished Champions had not Olympiakos been awarded a victory on paper over [[Apollon Kalamaria FC|Apollon Kalamaria]].<br />
<br />
In [[2013]] the club was relegated for the first time for disciplinary reasons forcing them to compete in [[Beta Ethniki|Football league]] but as the club was declared bankrupt [[AEK FC|AEK]] started from scratch on the third tier. After two consecutive promotions the club returned to the [[Alpha Ethniki|Super League]] in [[2015]]. In [[2018]] the club was crowned champion of [[Greece]] after a controversial season and game in [[Thessaloniki]] against [[PAOK FC|PAOK]].<br />
<br />
On [[October 3]], [[2022]] the club played the first match in their new stadium: the Agia Sophia Stadium also known as the OPAP Arena. AEK defeated [[Ionikos F.C.|Ionikos]] 4-1 in a League match and Mijat Gacinovic scor8ng the first goal.<br />
<br />
==The Anthem==<br />
The lyrics<ref>[http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?info=Lyrics&act=details&song_id=9564 The lyrics to the anthem] (in Greek)</ref> to the official anthem were writen by [[Christos Kolokotronis]], music by [[Stelios Kazantzidis]] and it was first performed by [[Mimis Papaioannou]].The latest anthem was written by [[Lefteris Papadopoulos]] (composer and an AEK fanatic), music by [[Christos Nikolopoulos]] and performed by [[Yannis Frangoulis]]. The new anthem was broadcasted for the first time on the [[August 2|2nd of August]] [[1995]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Christos Tzolis''' (Greek: Χρήστος Τζόλης; born [[January 30]], [[2002]]) is a [[Greeks|Greek]] [[football (soccer)|football]] professional who plays as a winger for Norwich City and the [[National Football Team]].<br />
<br />
Coming from the academies of [[PAOK FC|PAOK]] he scored his first [[Alpha Ethniki|Super League]] goal on [[June 20]], 2020 against [[OFI FC|OFI]] in the play-offs in only his second appearance for the club. <br />
<br />
In his first European game for [[PAOK FC|PAOK]] on [[August 25]], [[2020]] against Turkish side Besiktas Tzolis scored a brace, making him the third youngest player on the list (behind [[Stelios Pozoglou]] and [[Dimitris Salpingidis]]) to score in Europe. With 5 goals in Europe he is - aged 18 years old in December 2020 - already joined 10th in the list of top-scoring PAOK-players in European competitions.<br />
<br />
Tzolis scored his first hattrick as a professional player on [[January 20]], [[2021]] in a cup match for [[PAOK FC|PAOK]] against [[AE Larisa FC|Larisa]].<br />
<br />
On [[August 12]], [[2021]] Tzolis was transferred for EUR 11,5 mio + bonusses + 17,5% resale to English Premier League side Norwich City. This was the biggest transfer fee PAOK ever got for a player. In his first season Tzolis made 14 appearances in the Premier League, most of them as a sub as Norwich was struggling against relegation and only three subs a game were allowed.<br />
<br />
On [[July 22]], [[2022]] Tzolis joined Dutch side FC Twente on loan to return to Norwich City on [[January 31]], [[2023]].<br />
<br />
As of [[March 27]], [[2023]] he has been capped 13 times for [[National Football Team|the Ethniki]], scoring one goal in his second game, a friendly against [[Cyprus national football team|Cyprus]].</div>Dutch Eaglehttps://wiki.phantis.com/index.php?title=Yiannis_Michailidis_(footballer,_born_2000)&diff=53175Yiannis Michailidis (footballer, born 2000)2023-04-10T08:09:01Z<p>Dutch Eagle: Injury added and caps adjusted (4 —> 2)</p>

== History of PAOK ==<br />
PAOK was founded in April [[1926]] by notable Constantinopolitans who arrived in [[Thessaloniki]], after the exchange of population between Greece and Turkey, according to the Lausanne treaty of [[1924]]. These people were: L. Nikolaidis, K. Komitsopoulos, D. Mitsionis, the Dimitriadis brothers, the MP Koultatsoglou, Kouemtzopoulos, Karamaounas and a few more. The constitution of PAOK, with index number 822, was legitimated by the [[City Court of Thessaloniki]] on [[April 28]], [[1926]].<br />
<br />
PAOK’s first emblem, adopted in [[1926]], was a four-leaved clover and a horse shoe. The leaves were green with the letters PAOK marked on each of them, a symbol devised by Kostas Koemtzopoulos who took the idea from a packet of cigarettes he smoked.<br />
<br />
The decision to merge with the club AEK Thessaloniki can also be considered to be of historic importance. Until [[March 20|20th March]] [[1929]] the two clubs were rivals, competing against each other although both had been established by refugees from [[Constantinople]]. It was the Chairman of AEK, Dr. Karamaounas, who brokered the merger between Thessaloniki’s two refugee teams. The main figures behind the idea and its implementation were Fanourios Vyzantios and Pantelis Kalpaktsoglou who had defected from AEK Thessaloniki, which had been established in 1924-25 by the first wave of refugees who had come to [[Thessaloniki]] from [[Constantinople]] in [[1922]]. Certain members of AEK Thessaloniki headed south to the capital upon the merger to found the modern-day team [[AEK FC|AEK]].<br />
<br />
Following the merger with AEK in [[1929]], PAOK changed its emblem. The new emblem became the [[Two-headed eagle|Two-headed Eagle]], which remains to this day, and symbolizes the arrival of the club and the return to the roots and heritage of the refugees ([[Byzantium]] and [[Constantinople]]). The Eagle holds a sword and a crown with its two heads looking East and West. The difference between this emblem and that of [[AEK FC|AEK Athens]] (which is also the symbol of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) is that the eagle on PAOK’s emblem has its wings folded signifying mourning for expulsion from the homeland.<br />
<br />
The first section to be founded was [[Football (soccer)|soccer]]. Later on, in [[1928]], other sections were also founded such as [[basketball]], volleyball, athletics, swimming, water polo, boxing and cycling. <br />
<br />
The soccer team was put in the second division of the local championship of Thessaloniki. The following year, it was promoted to the first division, after beating [[Iraklis FC|Iraklis]], who were the champions of Thessaloniki, 1-0. From this point on, the football team was established as one of the top Greek teams with a great and fanatical crowd all over [[Greece]] and beyond. The first stadium was built in the area of the [[Aristotle University|University of Thessaloniki]].<br />
<br />
The first foreign coach in the history of the team was German [[Rudolph Ganser]], who served with PAOK for the 1931-[[1932]] season.<br />
<br />
On [[February 20]], [[1938]] [[Nikos Sotiriadis]] became the first ever international player for the club in a [[1938]] World Cup qualifier against Palestine.<br />
<br />
In [[1957]], the second stadium was started in the neighborhood of Constantinopolitan immigrants, called [[Toumba Stadium|Toumba]] (Toumba, meaning tomb), which in recent years has become [[Toumba Stadium|the home stadium]]. The new stadium was completed in [[1959]] and inaugurated with a 1-0 friendly victory over [[AEK FC|AEK]] [[Athens]] on [[September 6]], [[1959]].<br />
<br />
The [[1970s]] saw PAOK develop into a contender. Englishman, [[Les Shannon]], coached a team made up of [[Giorgos Koudas]], [[Stavros Sarafis]], [[Dimitris Paridis]], [[Achilleas Aslanidis]], [[Neto Guerino]], [[Christos Terzanidis]] and others, nearly winning the championship in [[1973 Football Championship|1973]]. [[1976 Football Championship|Three years later]], PAOK handily won the title that eluded them in 1973. Meanwhile, PAOK also won the [[Greek Football Cup|Cup]]: in [[1972]] and [[1974]], the latter under Ulsterman [[Billy Bingham]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorgos Koudas]] retired in [[1984]]. The following season, PAOK won their second league title. [[Kostas Iosifidis]] has the distinction of having been a member of both [[1976]] and [[1985]] teams.<br />
<br />
==Recent Years==<br />
In recent years, PAOK, like most professional soccer teams in Greece, has been hit by financial problems, but managed to win the [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] in [[2001]] and [[2003]].<br />
<br />
In late [[2003]], [[Yiannis Goumenos]] arrived at PAOK, with a considerable background in insurance and stock-broking, with Giorgos Kalyvas and Vassilis Pagonis as his deputies, a new board and supposedly 1,7 million euros in emergency funds. He ushered in by former coach [[Angelos Anastasiadis]], currently in charge of the Cypriot national team.<br />
<br />
PAOK's acute financial straits, which have shown no sign of recovery, were dealt a further blow last month when a former coach at the club, Austrian [[Rolf Fringer]], filed a case with soccer's international governing body for back wages owed to him by the Thessaloniki team (he is reportedly owed 200,000 euros).<br />
<br />
On [[November 13]], [[2006]], PAOK owner [[Yiannis Goumenos]] resigned amid a financial crisis that could relegate the club to the second division of the Greek league.<br />
<br />
Negotiations by Argentina-based ship-owner Yiannis Kambanis and entrepreneur [[Ivan Savvidis]] to buy PAOK collapsed in June, bringing Greece's fourth largest soccer club to the verge of bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The amateur division's boss, [[Thanassis Katsaris]], has already approached prominent [[Thessaloniki]]-based entrepreneurs in search of emergency funds and a takeover deal.<br />
<br />
As of [[August 10]], [[2012]] [[Ivan Savvidis]] acquired ownership of PAOK.<br />
<br />
On [[May 12]], [[2015]] Savvidis paid all of the club's debts to the Greek State, an amount that totalled at € 10,886,81.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150521133136/http://olapaok.gr/podosfairo/Dioikitika/________/sthn_eforia_o_savvidhs_mesa_sthn_epomenh_wra.3463743.html</ref><br />
<br />
PAOK since then became a power again in Greek football, winning [[Greek Football Cup|Greek Cup]] for three consecutive years in [[2017]], [[2018]] and [[2019]] and the first League title in 34 years in [[2019]] and that without a loss. The 2018/2019-season was the best ever in the history of the club as PAOK won the “double” for the first time.<br />
<br />
In 2021 PAOK was the first Greek club to qualify for the Group Stage of the new Europa Conference League of UEFA. On [[December 9]], [[2021]] PAOK was qualified for the knock-out stage, as they ended second in their group. On [[February 24]], [[2022]] PAOK managed for the first time - after five failures - to advance to the next round after the European winterbreak. At the same time PAOK managed to win a penalty shootout for the first time after four failures. The tie against FC Midtjylland of Denmark ended 2-2 on aggregate and 5-3 after penalties.<br />
