Lailapas
Full name
Αθλητικός Ποδοσφαιρικός Σύλλογος Λαίλαπας (Lailapas Football Club)
Having originally been founded as Λαίλαψ in 1925, F.C. Lailapas is one of Greece's oldest and formerly most competitive clubs.[2] Its period of greatest success came in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s during which it won an impressive number of titles.[3] In December 1930, Lailapas hosted the then champion of Izmir, Karşıyaka S.K. in a match of great historical significance, given the state of Greco-Turkish relations over the previous decade.[4] Due to bad weather however, the match was abandoned shortly after kick-off.[5] It was widely heralded as the first meeting between Greek and Turkish football teams, competitive or otherwise in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922.[6]
In the post-war period, Lailapas experienced a period of decline and was eventually forced to close down following financial difficulties in the mid-1950s. The club has since been re-founded on two occasions, most recently in 2009.[7]
