A.E. Larisa or AEL 1964 is a greek football club based in Larisa. Its full name is Athlitiki Enosi Larisa (Athletic Union of Larisa).

Since 2003, it has been known as AEL 1964 (a bankruptcy forced this name change.)

History

The club was founded in 1964 from a merger four local clubs: Iraklis Larisa, Aris Larisa, Toxotis Larisa and Larisaikos. They quickly rose to the first division. However, after winning the Greek Football Cup in 1986 and the championship in 1988, the club fell into decline and by 2000 had been relegated to the third division, going through bankruptcy.

Larisa have remarkably bounced back, much to their loyal fans delight, achieving promotion to the Greek Superleague in 2005 and winning the Greek Football Cup in 2007.
