History

change

Levadiakos started in 1961 when local clubs Trofonios and Pallevadiaki connected to a greater club.[2] Levadiakos played in the second division being close to relegation in almost every season. In May 1987 they were promoted to Alpha Ethniki . Levadiakos stayed there only for four seasons. After their second relegation the club even went to the 3rd division of Greece. After ten years in 2005 they were promoted again[3] but was immediately relegated.[4] In the next summer Levadiakos bought many expensive players and appointed Georgi Vasilev as manager.[5] The team was promoted again. After relegation 2019 they came back in 2022.
