The book you hold in your hands is a wonderful commemorative album, which includes the history of the AEK football team from its inception to the present day. It is a work unlike any other that has been released to date. The journey begins in early 2024 and goes back in time to the distant 1924, the year AEK was founded.
The Greeks of Constantinople, who were expelled from their homeland after the Asia Minor catastrophe of 1922, decided in 1924 to establish a Club in Athens that would remind them of their lost homelands and the culture of thousands of years, and that would keep alive the customs, values, and traditions of the Greek refugees. As Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew aptly said, "AEK is an idea and ideas do not die!"
