Wikipedia - Panathinaikos Chicago
Panathinaikos Chicago is a Greek-American soccer club based in Chicago, Illinois, which competes in the Midwest Region of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) in 2021. The team plays its home matches at Nike Sports Complex located in Naperville, Illinois. It is currently the only team in Illinois that participates in the NPSL.
History
A father and son pair Panathinaikos supporters, Dimitrios Chronopoulos and Dionissios "Denny" Chronopoulos, founded Panathinaikos Chicago in 2019 with the idea of forming a youth academy for the Chicago area community - driven by their passion for the Greek Football club Panathinaikos. Within the 1st year the academy grew from 1-to 30 children in the youth academy which led to the idea of creating a football club with a pyramid structure going from youth to adult players.
In 2020 during the COVID pandemic, the team successfully applied to the National Premier Soccer League (4th division of US Football), and the building of a competitive first-team began under player-owner Dionissios "Denny" Chronopoulos. Leading the first team as head coach is former Greek National Under 21 Team Captain George Katsaros. In June 2022, Javier Marín Asensio was named Head Coach after George Katsaros left. Javier Marín holds UEFA Pro license and took the lead of the team with the 2022 NPSL season started.
Despite being an amateur organization, Panathinaikos Chicago operates as a semi-professional club, which led to the club being noticed and recognized by former Panathinaikos players Giorgos Karagounis and Djibril Cisse on social media.
Notable players recruited for the first season are Captain John Austin Ricks (Syracuse University, former San Jose Earthquakes U18 Captain), Yeison Esquivel (Division 1 Professional in Costa Rica & Nicaragua, U17 Costa Rica National Team), Arsenios Dimitriou (APOEL F.C. U19, Cyprus U17 National Team), and Jesus Cervantes (Diriangen FC)-1st Division Nicaragua).
Due to Djibril Cisse's time at Panathinaikos, it was proposed to Cisse that he should join the club and there was mutual interest from the French player. After a year of back and forth communication, an agreement was made for Djibril Cisse to play with PAO Chicago's first team. Due to the COVID-19 travel ban from Europe, Cisse announced via social media that he was unable to enter the United States but reiterated that his transfer will happen once the ban is lifted.
PAO Chicago's official Team Jerseys in 2019-20 was Kappa Di Robbe.
As of 2021, Hummel is PAO Chicago's official Team Jersey provider until 2023.
