Panathinaikos F.C.
Panathinaikos F.C. are one of Greece’s most historic and respected football clubs — known for their iconic green colours and the shamrock crest. Based in Athens, Panathinaikos have built a legacy of domestic success and remain one of the most recognisable names in Greek football.
History
Founded in 1908, Panathinaikos quickly established themselves as one of Greece’s leading clubs. They are part of the country’s traditional “big three” alongside Olympiacos and AEK Athens, with fierce rivalries shaping Greek football culture.
The club’s greatest European achievement came in 1971, when Panathinaikos reached the European Cup final at Wembley — the only Greek team to ever do so. Their passionate fanbase and historic success have cemented their place as a powerhouse in Greek football.
Kit History & Colours
Panathinaikos are defined by their green and white colours, symbolising growth and pride. The shamrock crest — known as the “Trifylli” — is one of the most distinctive symbols in European football.
The classic green home shirt has remained central to the club’s identity for over a century, while away kits have traditionally featured white or clean, minimal designs.
