About PAOK FC

PAOK FC is a professional football club based in Thessaloniki, Greece, founded in 1926 by Greek refugees from Constantinople following the Greco-Turkish War. The club’s full name reflects these origins, and its emblem, the double-headed eagle, symbolizes its historical and cultural roots. PAOK plays its home matches at Toumba Stadium and is one of the most popular and widely supported teams in northern Greece.

Domestically, PAOK is considered one of the major clubs in Greek football. It has won multiple league titles, including championships in 1976, 1985, 2019, and 2024, as well as several Greek Cups. One of its greatest achievements came in the 2018–19 season, when the team won the league undefeated and secured a historic domestic double, marking the most successful period in the club’s history.

In recent years, PAOK has remained competitive both domestically and in European competitions. Under the ownership of Ivan Savvidis since 2012, the club stabilized financially and achieved consistent success, including cup victories and strong European runs. The team continues to be a key force in Greek football, regularly challenging for titles and representing the country in continental tournaments.
