Panathinaikos FC

“Our love for our Panathinaikos makes us feel more human.”

The history of Panathinaikos is inextricably linked to the forefront of Greek football inside and outside the four lines of the field.

Athletes and countless fans with the shamrock on their chest will always remind the persistence of Giorgos Kalafatis to found Panathinaikos in 1908, by the time that football was still an unknown word for most people. Since then, they became a synonym of history, sports and culture of the Greek capital.

It is an historical duty for Panathinaikos to participate in every activity in order to support their more vulnerable fellow citizens and to strengthen the social balance. For their Club, any discrimination (racial, religious, etc) is absolutely contrary to their founding principles, to the values ​​of sports and the ethical belief of their fans.

Actions are constant and include, among others, the participation of Panathinaikos in international networks for social assistance, like Fare network and the European Football for Development Network, which organize or assist several events implemented by other institutions. They provide sports equipment, support to institutions and welcome disadvantaged social groups at their team’s “G. Kalafatis” training center and “Ap. Nikolaidis” historical ground.
