📍Project: AEK Athens Football Club
📜 Details: It is a Greek professional football club based in Nea Filadelphia, a suburb of Athens, Greece. Established in Athens, in 1924 by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). The club has appeared several times in European competitions.
In 1924, AEK adopted the image of a double-headed eagle as their emblem. Created by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the years following the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange, the emblem and colors (yellow and black) of AEK were chosen as a reminder of lost homelands; they represent the club's historical ties to Constantinople. The double-headed eagle is featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, whose headquarters are in Constantinople, and served as Imperial emblem under the Palaiologos dynasty, which was the last one to rule the Byzantine Empire.
AEK Athens has a large fan base across all of Greece and is the third most popular Greek football team in relation to their fan base.
AEK's club anthem, was composed by Stelios Kazantzidis. The lyrics were written by Christos Kolokotronis. The most-popular version of the anthem is sung by ex-football player Mimis Papaioannou.
AEK, through its history, has highlighted some of the greatest Greek players in the history of Greece football, who contributed also to the Greece national team.
