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.
If we focus on its success in the top domestic league, then it scored its only victory in the 1987/88 season, still in the former Alpha Ethniki, since 2006 called Super League. They are also a two-time winner of the Greek Cup, in 1984/85 and 2006/07. The furthest they has gone on European soil was in the Cup Winners' Cup, in the 1984/85 season, when they reached the quarter-finals.
