History

The history of Panarkadikos begins in 1927 when the Bacolods, nickname of a family from the Basiakos district, invite the Homer brothers to help them in the friendly fight they would give with the Green Birds of Kalamata. The group of footballers has the idea that the group should be named Pan-Αrκadikos, since the players originate from all parts of Arcadia. On 22 May 1927, the application was filed with the Court of First Instance for the official recognition of the association. Panarkadikos participated for many years in the championships of the 2nd and 3rd National Championship, without ever succeeding in his promotion to the National. The best time in his career is the 1975–76 season, when he was second in the South Group of the Nation. In the 1979–80 season, Panarkadikos reached the quarter-finals of the
