History
At the end of the first decade of the previous century, the town of Nea Ionia had a lot of football clubs, each with its separate football history. The town was known to the rest of Athens for its sport-active inhabitants. A.O. Nea Ionia is a merged product of historic football clubs, last accomplished in 2001, and it's today's most representative club of this refugee town. The basic colours of the team are yellow and blue. The football club was relegated from the Greek Football League 2 in the 2014-15 season, as they finished 13th in Group 4 rankings. A change of ownership and severe financial problems led the club to the local championships in the new 2015-16 football season.
In 2018, the club appealed to the Hellenic Football Federation for the training compensation (€29.500) of Marios Ogboe's transfer from OFI Crete to Hamilton Academical and won the case.
Lo stadio di casa dell'AO Neas Ionias è lo Stadio Eleni Theocharous, che ha una capacità di 3.000 posti a sedere. I colori ufficiali della squadra sono il verde e il bianco.
