Panathinaikos Sports Club (Greek: Παναθηναϊκός Αθλητικός Όμιλος, Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos, i.e. Pan-Athenian Athletic) was founded by George Kalafatis in 1908. It is often referred to by its initials, PAO. The club emblem is the three-leaf clover in green.

Panathinaikos initially consisted of a single department, the football team. Before the club took the name P.A.O. it was called P.O.A. (Athens Football Club). In 1909 it changed to P.P.O. (Panhellenic Football Club), in 1918 to P.P.A.O. (Panhellenic Football and Athletic Club) and finally, in 1924 to the well known name of P.A.O. (Panathenian Athletic Club). Over the years Panathinaikos has established departments in 21 sports. Some of them are:

• Athletics (track and field), established in the 30's
• Basketball, established in 1937
  • The basketball team is a major force on the European stage, having won the continent's top club competition, the Euroleague, three times (1996, 2000, 2002)
• Swimming and Water Polo, established in 1950
• Volleyball, established in 1919
• Table-Tennis, established in 1935
• Boxing, established in 1948

• Gymnastics, established in 1965
• Water Skiing, established in 1965
• Weightlifting, established in 1963
• Cycling, established in 1928
