PAS Giannina Football Club (Greek: ΠΑΕ ΠΑΣ Γιάννινα 1966), or with its full name Panipirotikós Athlitikós Síllogos Giánnina (Greek: Πανηπειρωτικός Αθλητικός Σύλλογος Γιάννινα, Panepirotic Athletic Club Giannina) is a Greek professional football club based in the city of Ioannina, the capital of Epirus region.
PAS Giannina was formed in 1966 as a result of the union of the two local teams – AO Ioanninon (union of Atromitos Ioanninon and Olympiacos Ioanninon in 1962) and PAS Averof.[1][2][3][4] As emblem of the new team was chosen the bull, as appeared on the ancient coin of the Epirote League. The club have competed several times in the Super League. The club's best finish in the competition is 5th place on three occasions (1975-76, 1977-78, 2012-13). They have reached the semi-finals of the Greek Cup overall three times (2006-07, 2009-10, 2020-21). They have competed once in UEFA competitions. Also, they participated in the Balkans Cup on two occasions.
The club is probably best known among Greek football fans for its loyal support and its status as the most successful football club in Epirus region.
