New Football Club "Volos" (Greek:Νέος Ποδοσφαιρικός Σύλλογος «Βόλος») is a Greek professionalfootball club based inVolos,Magnesia, Greece.[1] The club currently competes in theSuper League, the first tier of football in Greece. Volos plays its home matches at thePanthessaliko Stadium.[2]
After years of unsuccessful efforts and negotiations between the two older football clubs ofVolos (Niki andOlympiakos) to be merged to create a strong football club for the city, finally in April 2017 discussions and efforts by Achilleas Beos, mayor of Volos, led to the creation of a new football club. It was decidedPydna Kitros to be dissolved and renamed and thus, Volos New Football Club was created, the official presentation of which was held on June 2.
The team, which took the position ofPydna Kitros inGamma Ethniki for the2017–18 season, began its preparation with significant transcriptional movements. Volos eventually won first place in Group 4 and 2nd in Group 1 of the Promotion Play-Offs, and they were promoted to theFootball League.
In the 2022–23 season, Volos had an excellent run in theSuper League, finishing the regular season in fifth place in the Championship, but the inexperience of its players cost them and they finished the playoffs with only one point and a total of nine defeats and one draw.Paolo Fernandes was voted Volos' best player of the season, even though he only played 13 matches.
For its participations in the third and second division leagues, Volos NFC used the stadium located in the Neapoli area inVolos, at the edge of Neapoli. Neapoli Municipal Stadium was constructed several years ago, but in the summer of 2017 the Municipality of Volos refurbished it on behalf of Volos NFC who later used it as their seat.[3] It has a capacity of 2,500 tiers, while there is a roof on the northwest side.[citation needed]
