For the first time in its history, a football team acquired the acritic Kastellorizo!

After painstaking efforts, the “Athletic Club Megisti Kastellorizo” took shape a while ago and is already participating in the championship of the third category of the local Dodecanese.

“The association was founded mainly for national reasons,” said in a statement to APE-MPE the secretary of the association’s board, Michalis Loizos, who is one of the founders of the association and one of the people who worked hard to achieve the goal.

We also seek, emphasizes Mr. Loizos, to create a football field so as to gather around the club the young people of the island so that they can be involved in football and sports in general. Efforts are already being made in this direction and it is expected that there will be results soon.

This year the headquarters of the team is the Kremasti stadium of Rhodes and in its strength are 25 football players, some of whom come from Kastellorizo. The goal is in the coming years to support the team with as many children as possible from Kastellorizo ​​and to build a stadium on the island to hold the games there.

The whole effort has been embraced by the local community, Mr. Loizos emphasizes, pointing out how important it is, for national reasons, to have this football team and also points out the great contribution to the effort of the president of the club, Giannis Hatzimanolis (businessman from Rhodes) which strengthens the club in every way.

The club is also in collaboration with the municipality of Megisti which is expected to assist in this effort both in terms of the operation of the club and the construction of the stadium and sports infrastructure on the critical island.
