AO Xanthi

The Akrites, or "Borderers", is the name of the team that was formed in the eastern Greek town of Xanthi in 1967. AO Xanthi or Xanthi F.C. plays its home matches at the Xanthi FC Arena with a capacity of 7,244 spectators (on the occasion of its opening in 2005 we could see the legendary Pelé), first looked at the first league in 1989 and several times played in the Europa League or UEFA Cup, where, however, did not go past the first round - in 2002 it was stopped by Lazio, three years later by England's Middlesbrough.

AE Larisa

The nicknames of this club include Βασίλισσα του Κάμπου (Queen of the Plains) or Οι Βυσσινί (the Purple Ones). And indeed, the dominant colour of the club is purple. It is found in combination with white on the jerseys, with the home jerseys being predominantly white and the away jerseys being predominantly purple. Alternatively, they use dark blue as a third colour. They are at home at the AEL FC Arena, which has a capacity of 16,118 seats. The Greek Athletic Union Football Club of Larisa was therefore founded, of course, in the Greek town of Larisa, in 1964, the year to which the club also refers in its name.
