History

It was founded in 1926 as "Pan-Hellenic Association of National Physical Education". The head of this historical movement was the writer Georgios Logothetis, who had settled in Argos since 1923, coming from Spetses. From 1926 to 1933 he participates only in friendly matches. In 1933 Panagiakoakos was deactivated and reactivated in 1945 as "Panarchiakos APO". In 1947 he participates for the first time in a formal organization since he has become a member of the National Technical University of Athens. Argolidokorinthia.

The biggest moment of Panargeiakos's history is his participation as a South Group champion in the 1957 Pan-Hellenic Championship with ten teams: from Athens to Panathinaikos, Apollonas and Panionios, from Piraeus to Olympic, National and Progressive, since Thessaloniki Mars and PAOK and the champion of the North Group, Doxa Dramas. In the 1990s, Panageriakos participated in the 2nd National Championship, but never won the championship of the First National Championship. In recent years the team has participated either in the local championships of Argolida or in the championship of the 4th National, but it remains the most favorite club for the Argian fans.

On May 31, 2008 he won the Cup of Amateurs defeating Nike Polygyros with 3-0 in the lead. The final was in Lamia. In the same season (2007–08) he won the championship in the 7th group of the 4th National Division and the Cup of EPC of Argolida, achieving a treble. He fought for two seasons in the C National, without success, and was again relegated to the National Division. In August 2012, for the first time in the history of the club, a second team is formed, the young Panargeiakos who come from academies of the wider region and compete in the A 2 category championship.
