.............................. Panathinaikos Greece Football Club
Logo and Trademark..............................
Panathinaikos FC, also known as PAO or Panathinaikos AO (Greek: ΠΑΟ - Παναθηναϊκός Αθλητικός Όμιλος - Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos), the Pan-Athenian Athletic Club, is a Greek association football club based in Athens, Greece. Founded in 1908 the football team is the oldest of all the Panathinaikos club’s sports sections. They play in the Super League Greece and play their home games at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium. Panathinaikos is one of the most successful Greek football clubs of all time, winning 19 league titles. In 1971 they were European Cup finalists, losing 2-0 to Ajax at Wembley Stadium.
They remain the only Greek club that has reached a European final. In 1985, Panathinaikos reached the European Cup semifinals, where they were thrown out by Liverpool F.C. (4-0, 0-1, aggregate 5-0). The club reached the semifinal stage of the UEFA Champions League in 1996, when they faced Ajax, recording a surprising first-leg away victory (0-1). However, they suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat on the second leg and were thus denied entry to the final once more. In the 2002 UEFA Champions League, Panathinaikos reached the quarter-finals, losing 3-2 on aggregate to FC Barcelona. Panathinaikos is the highest ranked Greek club in the official UEFA Team Ranking.
The crest and colours were first used by the club in 1918 when player Michalis Papazoglou, a Constantinopolitan, proposed that the club adopt the colour green with a shamrock (three-leafed clover) as an emblem, as used by his Chalcedon-based former club of Chalkidona. The jersey colors are green and white, although the white sometimes is omitted, used as trim or as an alternative.
The team has been owned since 1979 by the Vardinogiannis family, who are mostly known for their oil, media and entertainment companies. The team's chairman is Dr. Argiris Mitsou, but Giannis Vardinogiannis is the most important member of the board (shareholder).
In September 2001, IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics) voted Panathinaikos FC as World's Club Team of the Month, Panathinaikos was also one of the first clubs that formed a women's team in 1980. This department is currently inactive.
