A.E. Karaiskakis Arta is a Greek football club, based in Arta.
The club was established in 2012, after the merger of AO Arta, Aetos Diasello and Omonoia Petra, and is currently competing in the 3rd tier of Greek football, the Football League 2.
In the 2014-15 Football League 2, despite leading the table for a big part of the season, and having the best attacking and defensive record of the group, scoring 60 and conceding just 14, Karaiskakis lost to A.O. Trikala on the last matchday with a score of 1-2, a result that led to the club missing out on promotion to Beta Ethniki.
The 2015-16 season for Karaiskakis started with an away victory of 1-2 at Farkadona. The first home match was against nearby Ethnikos Filippiada, and ended in a goalless draw. Karaiskakis played their first match at their official home on 25/10/2015 against Niki Volos. The game ended 2-1 in favour of Karaiskakis, who came back to win after being 0-1 down at half-time. On November 5, 2015, after disagreements in a meeting session, former coach, Sakis Papavasileiou, terminated his contact with the club. Three days later, the club announced the hiring of the 54 year old coach from Arta, Giannis Taprantzis. Having been in charge for only 3 games, Taprantzis left the club for personal reasons. After a few days, Giorgos Giannos became the club's new manager. The very next day after the hiring of Giannos, Karaiskakis defeated Pyrasos 4-0 at home. The first defeat of the season came against Aiginiakos on the 13th matchday, with a score of 3-1. On the final day of the first round, Karaiskakis defeated Rigas Feraios 2-1, coming back after conceding in the 42nd minute.
Current table position:
Group 2, 2nd, 27 games, 64 points, 19 wins, 7 draws, 1 defeat, GF 49, GA 19, GD +30
