For the basketball club, see AEL 1964 BC.
AEL 1964 (Greek: Αθλητική Ένωση Λάρισας 1964 - Athlitiki Enosi Larissas 1964), the Athletic Union of Larissa 1964, is a Greek association football club based in the city of Larissa, capital of Greece's Thessaly region. The club is also known, unofficially, as Larissa. It is the only FC outside the Greek capital Athens and co-capital Salonika, that has ever been Greek Champions (1988). They also have won a couple of Greek Cups (1985, 2007) and played another couple of Cup finals (1982, 1984), which places AEL amongst the top 5 of Greek Football. Famous fans: Philippos Pliatsikas (singer), Tasos Vamvakidis (actor), Stelios Kantonias (businessman), Kostas Kapatais (producer, winner of 2004 Olympic Golden Rings), Vassilis Tsiaras (lawyer), George Roussakis (journalist), Kostas Agorastos (politician), Dimitris Karatzas (businessman), Nikolaos Karydis (judge). The team currently competes in the Super League Greece.
[edit] HistoryThe club was founded as 1964 as a result of the bankruptcy. a However, the 2004-2005 season proved to be very fruitful for the club, winning the second division (achieving double promotion) and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup. AEL has had a couple of good seasons in the First Division ever since. They have been particularly successful in the Greek Cup, and as highlight they lift the trophy for second time after 23 years.They also played in UEFA Cup 2007-08,reaching the group stage by eliminating Blackburn Rovers.In 2008-2009 season the team finished 5th in SuperLeague and won an UEFA Europa League place,but were eliminated in the 2nd qualifying round by KR Reykjavik (1-1,0-2). [edit] TitlesAEL 1964 is the only countryside based team (i.e., outside of the Athens and Thessaloniki metropolitan areas) to win the Greek Alpha Ethniki (now Super League Greece) Championship, when they did so in 1988. The club also won the Greek football Cup twice: in 1985 by beating PAOK FC in the final (4-1) and in 2007 by beating Panathinaikos 2-1. Before that, AEL 1964 made the finals of the Greek Cup twice, losing in both 1982 and 1984 to Panathinaikos. [edit] Greek Cup 2006-07 winners AEL lifted the 2007 cup for their second time in their history after beating favourites Panathinaikos by a one goal margin[2]. Two goals gave underdog AEL the Cup by stunning their opposition who were in the midst of a disappointing season both nationally and in Europe. The first goal came early in the match as at the third minute AEL won a free kick which was taken by Georgios Fotakis and headed in by striker Jozef Kozlej. Just before the end of the first half Panathinaikos won a penalty and Dimitris Papadopoulos stepped up to make the score even on the 44th minute. As the match was approaching its end Henri Antchouet scored with a strong shoot after an excellent long pass from Georgios Fotakis to give AEL the lead. AEL then kept the lead, sealing a glorious day for the unlikely winners. The 10,000 AEL fans deliriously celebrated the goal as the opposing fans felt the disappointment of having to end the season trophyless despite high expectations. [edit] Achievements[edit] StadiumAEL currently plays at the Alkazar stadium, AEL's home since 1964. However plans have been approved to build a new ground at the suburbs of the city(the region is called neapoli). The new stadium's capacity will be 16,000 seats. [edit] Current squad
