History
changeLevadiakos 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.

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.
