This is a page dedicated to F.C. Benitses, the Athletics football club of Benitses.
The foundation of the Benitses football club
It was the early 70’s in Benitses when the first embankment in a portion of the old harbor with a view to transferring the old highway to its present location was almost completed. The huge space that was created was available for the first time to young people and many children of the time. This place transformed quickly into a football vacant lot. It was an area of about 60 by 40 meters, a large enough space for the children to exercise their football skills all day.
Then the idea for a football team dropped by some; it did not take much thought. Some people agreed, and after some discussions, they decided to establish a sports club with football as the main sporting activity.
The first general meeting of the founding members was 30 on January 1971, in which, among other things, they decided to establish an athletic club under the name: “ATHLETIC FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF BENITSES”. The statutes were also approved by the General Assembly on November 30, 1971
Also appointed that the club will celebrate on the 12th of December!
Validation of the Statute in the Court of Corfu took place the 10/5/1972!

We collect and will soon add historical details on the progress of the team from 1971 until today, in which categories have taken place, which persons have served as presidents of the team, what distinctions and championships the team has won, and how after several years of inactivity the club became active again in 2012, winning after an excellent performance during the first competitive year (2012-13) the anode to the local A division.
The administration of the team is always in direct contact with the supporters who love the team, also the team maintains websites on social networks (Facebook, etc. ) with which those who live away from home are informed about the results and the efforts of the club.
