PAOK FC (Panthessalonikeios Athlitikos Omilos Konstantinoupoliton)

PAOK FC, known fully as Panthessalonikeios Athlitikos Omilos Konstantinoupoliton, is one of Greece's most historic and popular professional football clubs. Based in Thessaloniki, the club was founded in 1926 by Greek refugees from Constantinople who settled in the region following the Greco-Turkish War. The club's identity is deeply rooted in this heritage, represented by the iconic double-headed eagle emblem and the black and white team colors.

Throughout its history, PAOK has established itself as a dominant force in Greek football, boasting multiple Super League Greece titles and Greek Cup victories. The team plays its home matches at the Toumba Stadium, which has become a symbol of the club's passionate fan base and cultural significance in Northern Greece. As a professional sports entity, its 'products' range from professional football matches to licensed merchandise and sporting services.

Since 2012, the club has been under the ownership of Ivan Savvidis, a prominent Greek-Russian businessman. Under his leadership through the Dimera Group, the club has seen significant financial investment and structural modernization. Today, PAOK remains a centerpiece of Greek sports culture, operating primarily out of Thessaloniki while maintaining a global presence through its international fans and participation in European club competitions.
