History

Kerkyra F.C. or Kerkyra A.O. (Athletic Club of Kerkyra) such was named officially, was founded in 1969. For many years played in local championship of Corfu. But the season 1988–89 played in Gamma Ethniki. In 2002 the club was promoted in Beta Ethniki and the season 2004–05 played in A Ethniki (SuperLeague) for first time in history. The club played 5 times totally in A Ethniki, the seasons 2005, 2007, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Kassiopi was the football club of the village Kassiopi in north-east Corfu. The club was founded in 1984 and in 2012, it became champion of Delta Ethniki Group 5 and was promoted to Football League 2 for the first time in history. The next season it was finished in the third place of the championship of football (League 2 2012–13) and promoted to Football League (second division).

In the same season (2012–13) Kerkyra F.C. was relegated from Super League to Football League. On account of a lot of debts, Kerkyra F.C. couldn't play in the professional league of Football League. So the owners of the historical club of Corfu agreed with the owners of Kassiopi F.C. for the merge of two clubs in order to Kerkyra F.C continue its presence in professional leagues without debts. The intention was the new club to be named PAE Kerkyra but the court approved of the name PAE AOK Kerkyra.

Kerkyra was dismissed by Superleague Greece and automatically got relegated to Football League as they were accused and proved to commit fake transfer of shares. Kerkyra was given the last position on the league table.Next season Kerkyra got 2nd place and gained promotion into Superleague Greece along with the 1st place team AE Larissa FC.
