History

It was founded in 1926 as "Pan-Hellenic Association of National Physical Education". The head of this historical movement was the writer Georgios Logothetis, who had settled in Argos since 1923, coming from Spetses. From 1926 to 1933 he participates only in friendly matches. In 1933 Panagiakoakos was deactivated and reactivated in 1945 as "Panarchiakos APO". In 1947 he participates for the first time in a formal organization since he has become a member of the National Technical University of Athens. Argolidokorinthia.

The biggest moment of Panargeiakos's history is his participation as a South Group champion in the 1957 Pan-Hellenic Championship with ten teams: from Athens to Panathinaikos, Apollonas and Panionios, from Piraeus to Olympic, National and Progressive, since Thessaloniki Mars and PAOK and the champion of the North Group, Doxa Dramas. In the 1990s, Panageriakos participated in the 2nd National Championship, but never won the championship of the First National Championship.
