Eleftheroupoli F.C., officially known as A.E. Eleftheroupoli (Greek: Αθλητική Ένωση Ελευθερουπόλεως, Athlitiki Enosi Eleftheroupoleos), the "Athletic Union of Eleftheroupoli", is a Greek association football club based in the city of Athens, Greece. The club currently competes in the Athens Second Division.
A.E. Eleftheroupoli is one of the oldest Greek sports clubs, established in 1929 by A. Neofytou, L. Dimitropoulos, A. Konstantinidis, N. Nikolaou, Ch. Theodorou, L. Konstantinidis, Th. Kiriakou, A. Nikolaou, G. Stefanidis, D. Kountouris, P. Tsakonas and P. Tevekelis. The club dominated in the national second division from the 1950s until the early 1960s. During the last twenty years the club has decayed and nowadays they are playing in the lower Athens championships. In the years gone by the club brought out many players that were transferred to the higher rank football teams of Athens such as Stelios Skevofilakas, Panagiotidis, Giorgos Mageiras, Kountouris, Xenos, Mavridopoulos, Vlantis, Sevastiadis, Mitilinaios, Tryfon Tzanetis and others. In the last 20 years even though the club has had many economic problems they have managed to have a respectful presence in Athens football championships outstanding with ethos and high competitive spirit.
Success started early in 1933, a year which found Eleftheroupoli FC at the top of the action as the team managed to win the local municipality championships for the next three consecutive years (1933–1935) and was recognized by the court of Athens as an official club. The successes came one after the other and the team began to conquer territory in sporty feelings of local residents. 1937 was a year of innovation for the club as it was merged with a strong team called Hope of Nea Ionia chaired by S. Stavridis. With the continuous and untiring efforts of the 1939 board, the club was recognized by the Hellenic Football Federation and the Athens Football Clubs Association, while at the same time the team is competing in the Football League 2.
