Foundation of 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 too many children of the time, this place transformed quickly into a football vacant lot, it was an area of about 60 by 40 meters 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 at 30 of 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 at November 30, 1971
Also appointed that the club celebrates on the 12th of December!
Validation of the Statute in the Court of Corfu took place the 10/5/1972!
