AEK (Athletic Union of Constantinople) is founded

The founding assembly of AEK is held by Greek refugees from Constantinople at 24 Verantzerou Street, in the mezzanine floor of the sportswear store of Ionas & Dimopoulos, headed by Aimilios and Menelaos Ionas. They elect Konstantinos Spanoudis as President, a journalist and future MP, and Costas Dimopoulos as General Secretary. The emblem is the Byzantine Two-Headed Eagle, and Club colors are gold (yellow) and black. The Club acquires the stadium in Nea Philadelphia in 1929. Its official opening is held on November 2, 1930, with a friendly match with Olympiacos (2-2).
