History
editThe club was founded in the mid-1920s under the name of Proodeftikos Omilos Elassonas. It was recognized by Hellenic Football Federation in 1957. In 2007 POE was merged with crosstown rivals Olosson to form a new club: P.S. Elassonas. After the club's takeover in 2011 by businessman and lawyer Andreas Patsis the club changed its name back to POE ahead of the 2011–12 season in Delta Ethniki. 10-time Greek champion with Olympiacos Piraeus Alexis Alexandris was appointed as the new coach.
POE has participated in Beta Ethniki, Gamma Ethniki and Delta Ethniki in the past. They currently compete in the A Division of Larissa Football Clubs Association, the Greek fourth tier.
