Larisa

AEL Larissa was founded through the merger of four local clubs: Iraklis Larissa, Aris Larissa, Toxotis Larissa and Larisaikos, under the initiative of local football leaders in Larissa.

The club’s primary colors are crimson (bordeaux) and white, which appear on their shirts and emblem.

The name comes from the city of Larissa in Thessaly, Greece, where the club is based and represents the region.

Exact fan numbers are not publicly documented, but the club has a strong regional support base in Thessaly and among Greek expatriates.

Supporters are often called "The Crimsons" or simply fans of AEL Larissa, reflecting the team’s crimson and white colors.

AEL Larissa’s main rivals are other Thessaly clubs and historically teams like OFI Crete and Panetolikos, though no single dominant rivalry is universally agreed.

The club was last relegated from the top‑tier Super League Greece at the end of the 2022–23 season, dropping to Super League 2.

Public records do not clearly document the single biggest competitive loss in the club’s history, so a specific score cannot be confirmed.

The identity of the longest‑serving manager in AEL Larissa’s history is not clearly documented in widely available sources.
