Description:

Panserraikos ended a 16-year absence from the Greek top division by winning the 2007-08 Greek Second Division title. The Lions are based in the northeastern Greek city of Serres, in the shadow of the Rhodope Mountains. Panserraikos were founded in May 1964 by the merger of two local clubs, Iraklis and Apollon, with the intention of creating one club from Serres strong enough to compete at the national level. Serraikos is an adjective for someone or something from Serres, so Panserraikos translates as something like All-Serres. The Red and White have spent most of their history shuttling between the first and second division, their best period being a six-year run in the top flight in the mid-seventies. After relegation in 1992 they became mired in the second division and even fell to the depths of the third division on a couple of occasions. But a triumphant 2007-08 season has finally brought Panserraikos back to the top.
