Anagennisi Artas is a Greek football club, based in Arta,in the North-West part of Greece. The emblem of the team depicts the historical bridge of Arta. The club was established in 1960 from the union between local Arta clubs Panamvrakikos (1928), Aetos (1948)and Olympiacos (1957). The colours of the club are Black-White. The fans were never under a strong organization. They used to form various groups like "black cannibals" or black knights" but nothing official. There is no official fan club. The club has nurtured many great football players in the past such as Antonis Nikopolidis, Giorgos Vaitsis, Sotiris Balafas, Michalis Kapsis, Vaggelis Kaounos and others. Arta fans have a brotherhood with Palermo fans. For the 2015/2016 season, Anagennisi play in the first league of Arta Perfecture
