AEK Futsal Club is a Greek futsal club established in 2008 by a merger with the O.F. Geraka Futsal team. They participated in the B'Ethniki (second division) that year, where they finished 1st in the regular season and 2nd in the playoffs. AEK played again in the second division in 2009–10. AEK finished second in the B'Ethniki after the playoffs in April 2010, and gained promotion to the first division for 2010–11. AEK won the first title since the establishment of the department of Futsal at 3 June 2018, after beating 1–0 Olympiada Agia Paraskevi at the 2017–18 Hellenic Cup final.
History
The years of creation
The Futsal section of AEK was initially started when, in cooperation with OF Gerakas in the summer of 2008, the forthcoming merger was launched at the end of the season, since there was no other way, with the dates for the participation of a new club in the 2nd National room. The newly created department undertook to create and organize 5 fans of the Dichefalu, aiming and guiding the presence of AEK, and in the field of the football court. Eventually the team finished second in the 2008–09 season and moved to the 1st National.
However, the Federation's refusal to join AEK for a merger with Gerakas, made the immediate need to create a new division under A.E.K., and to participate again in the 2nd National Championship as a newly established club for the next season 2009–10. The men's team fought in closed Gerakas, winning the first National Division, finishing 1st in the group, relying solely on AEK-winning players, who were chosen among many in summer friendly trials, all out of the box. Reference point: The department has never charged the amateur AEK fund at a cost, as it has survived financially thanks to the help of AEK fans.
Creation of Academies
In the summer of 2010, the need to create a football academy, which was necessary for the participation of the men's team in the 1st National category, led the department's directors to the first big call of the AEK world through Media, Fun Weekend and advertisements for the creation of a new AEK Academy, for children from 6 years old and over, 7 newly new children, joined the initial scheme of the newly established academy, of various ages, with the right to participate in the infrastructure championship. The men's team finishes in the 7th place of the 1st National Championship, a huge success, in the first prize in this championship, having sent 4 players to the National Team, compensating for their excellent appearances and having their 1st scorer Greek Championship, and reaching the Greek Cup semifinals, losing the qualification to the final in the last minute of the match. The academy now has 1 division of athletes throughout the year, managing to finish with 3 divisions, with 30 children from 6 to 13 years old.
In the summer of 2011 the sudden departure of four international players for a number of reasons, and their inadequate replacement, with other equally professional footballers, since it was the philosophy of the department's officers, brought to the team a great sporting turmoil, resulting in team, to stay early off racing goals, finishing in 10th place. The academy has now begun to grow and as a result it has reached the winner of the Greek Cup in the category of Juniors, defeating Athina 90 with 2–1. Also, the team of Pampas is also giving its 1st presence to the Final 4 Cup, Greece, with the participation of younger players. Thus, the year ends with AEK FC, honoring 25,000 people in the last game of Nikos Liberopoulos and Traianos Dellas, the Juniors team, and celebrating with the fans of AEK.
