2013–14 AEK Athens F.C. season

The 2013–14 season will be A.E.K. Athens Football Club's 89th year in existence as a football club and the first after 55 years that the club will not be participating in the top flight of the Greek football. It is also the first season of the club's history that AEK won't be participating in the highest possible tier of the football competitions available. Because of that, the club will not participate in Greek Football Cup or in AFCA Cup, but in Football League 2 Cup.

Contents

On 9 June 2013, Dimitris Melissanidis, the potential owner of OPAP, wins the AEK Athens F.C. elections with his party called Regeneration of A.E.K. and becomes the owner of the club. The elections happened to the amateur AEK and not AEK S.A., since the club ceased being an S.A. by getting relegated to Football League 2, the top amateur division in Greek football.

The team did not wear last season's kit in the friendlies, since they do not want to remember the kit which was marked by the worst season in the history of the club.
