AO Kavala (Greek: Athlitikos Omilos Kavala, Αθλητικός Όμιλος Καβάλα), the Athletic Club Kavala, is a professional football (soccer) club based in the city of Kavala, Greece.
History[1]
The Macedonian club was formed in 1965 from the merger of Phillipoi Kavala, Iraklis Kavala and A.E. Kavala.
They have had a few runs in the top division of the Greek League. They were promoted to Alpha Ethniki for the first time in 1969 and stayed up for 6 years (1970 - 1975). They returned to top division in 1976 and played again for six seasons.
In 1982 the club were relegated to the Beta Ethniki (second tier of Greek football). After 11 years in Beta Ethniki and one year in Gamma Ethniki (third tier - 1988-89) they were promoted to Alpha Ethniki. There "black" period began for the team in which they played only in Beta Ethniki and Gamma Ethniki.
2009-2010 Season
In 2009 they signed Miltiadis Sapanis and EURO 2004 winner Fanis Katergiannakis. Kavala were promoted for the first time in 9 years to Greeces top division. In their quest to remain in the top flight they have signed José Reina's back up at Liverpool, Charles Itandje and recently acquired Brazilian Denílson (January 2010 transfer window) a 2002 World Cup Winner. Additional season signings include Craig Moore, Željko Kalac, Ebi Smolarek, Diogo Rincón, Sotiris Leontiou, Serge Dié, Wilson Oruma and Frédéric Mendy, . This combined with coach Aad de Mos meant that Kavala set the league alight. They subsequently achieved notable victories in the 2009-1010 season against Iraklis FC, Panionios, AEK FC and Panathinaikos FC.
