After a win for Champions League

Football made its appearance in Greece at the end of the 19th century, but there was no official championship since it was considered a lacklustre activity. A young athlete of the sports club Panellinios, Giorgos Kalafatis, dismayed by his club's refusal to form a football team, founded Panathinaikos in 1908 with his older brother Alexander Kalafatis as team president. The name of the club was initially P.O.A. (Podosfairikos Omilos Athinon), meaning "Athens Football Club".

In 1918 it was decided that the official color of the team would be green so that the players' outfits would be standardized and the club's emblem would be the shamrock, an idea of Michalis Papazoglou, a great athlete from Constantinople who played for the team of Chalkidona, which had the same symbol. The club had its third and final name change in May 15, 1924: P.A.O. (Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos - Panathenaean Athletic Club).

In September 2001, IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics) voted Panathinaikos FC as World's Club Team of the Month [1]

Panathinaikos was also one of the first clubs that formed a women team in 1980. This department is currently inactive.
