Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Athletic Union of Constantinople (Greek: - Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos), more commonly referred to as AEK or in European competitions as AEK Athens, is a sports club based in the city of Athens, Greece. The club was founded on 13th April 1924 in Athens by Greek refugees from Constantinople (now Istanbul) in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange. The large Greek population of Constantinople, not unlike those of the other Ottoman urban centres, continued its athletic traditions in the form of numerous athletic clubs. Clubs such as Enosi Tataoulon ( ) from the Tatavla district, Megas Alexandros ( ) of Vathyriakos, and Hermes ( - Ermis) of Galata existed to promote Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals; Hermes, one of the more popular clubs, was formed in 1875 by the Greek community of Pera (Galata). Forced by the Kemalist regime to change its name to Pera Club in 1921, many of its athletes fled during the population exchanges at the end of the Greco-Turkish War, and settled in Athens and Thessaloniki.
