History edit
The club was founded as Athlitiki Enosi Astir Peramatos and was commonly known as Asteras Perama until 2015,[1] when the club's board of directors decided to reach out to the entire Mylopotamos' community and rename the club as A.E. Mylopotamos to represent the whole region.[2] The club managed to win the Rethymno FCA A Division Championship in the 2016−17 season,[3] thus managing promotion to the Gamma Ethniki, the third tier of the Greek football league system for the first time in club history.[4]
