Ethnikos Piraeus 1923 Football Club (Greek: ΠΑΕ Εθνικός Πειραιώς 1923) is a Greek professional football club based in Piraeus. The club was official formed in 1923 as Ethnikos Omilos Filathlon Piraeus Faliro (existed since 1922 unofficially), and played its first competitive match in 1923 for the Piraeus Football Clubs Association championship, where they eventually lost their first title competing for from A.P.S.P (Athlikos Podosferikos Somation Pireas). Ethnikos Piraeus was one of the founding members of Hellenic Football Federation in 1926, and is one of six clubs, including AEK Athens F.C., PAOK F.C., Panathinaikos F.C., Aris Thessaloniki F.C. and Olympiacos F.C., never to have been relegated from the league until 1990. They have also been involved in international football playing a number of friendlies against famous clubs such as Inter Milan, Galatasaray S.K., and Hungary national football team in the 1950s, and participated in the Balkans Cup on two occasions. They have had a turbulent recent history, and are currently competing in the third division Football League 2.
Known as the club of the upper classes of Piraeus (whereas Olympiakos has always been the team of the masses), Ethnikos was established in 1923 from a merger of local sides - Peiraikos Omilos FC and elements of Omilos Filathlon Piraeus - as Omilos Filathlon Piraeus - Faliro (Greek: Όμιλος Φιλάθλων Πειραιώς - Φαλήρου) -meaning Fans' Club of Piraeus and Faliro- after the Piraeus-based football club Athletic and Football Club of Piraeus (Greek: Αθλητικός και Ποδοσφαιρικός Σύλλογος Πειραιώς), winner of the 1924 Athens-Piraeus Regional Championship, split into two.
