History edit
PANOM was established in 1970 as a formal continuation of Pythagoras Malia, an unregistered amateur football club of the area.[2] They occasionally played in the Delta Ethniki, the (now defunct) fourth tier of the Greek football league system between 1996–2004, when they gained promotion to the Gamma Ethniki for the first time in club history.[2] They failed to avoid relegation during the 2004–05 season as newcomers and returned to the Delta Ethniki once more.
In 2000, PANOM won both the Heraklion FCA Cup for the first time in their history, as well as the more prestigious Greek Football Amateur Cup defeating Orfeas Souroti in the competition Final held at Nea Smyrni Stadium.[1] They would go on to win the FCA Cup twice more, in 2007 and 2018.[3]
