History

The football section of Kozani is one of the sections in sports that hasn't achieved a lot in the Greek football league for the city of Kozani, resulting the team to be 3 times champions in the Fourth Division (1995,1997 and 2004) and win the promotion to the Third Division with some good performances in the past years. The best recent year in the Third Division was actually in 1999-2000 where they finished 3rd, behind Akratito and Nafpaktiako who were promoted. They also finished 3rd three more times in 1988, 1990 and 1998 where they lost promotion in the last games. They haven't played in the Beta Ethniki though with the existing format, although the last time they participated in the Beta Ethniki was in 1982-83 when the second division had two groups of 20 teams each.

After the 2005-06 season, the club, was relegated to Delta Ethniki after failing to win the last game away at Drama. However, the crucial match tο avoid the relegation was against Polykastro at home where the team drew 1-1 instead of winning and staying in the division.

In the 2006-07 season, the club played in the Delta Ethniki where it finished in the 8th place. In the 2007-08 season, the club remained another year in the Delta Ethniki and finished 3rd. In the 2008-09 season, the club played again in the Delta Ethniki and won promotion to the Gamma Ethniki.
