Athlitikos Syllogos Rodos[1] (Greek: Αθλητικός Σύλλογος Ρόδος; lit.'Athletic Club Rodos') is a Greek sports club based in the city of Rhodes, Greece. It is active in the sport of football. Its official year of establishment is 1968. Its logo is a galloping deer.

Its football department is the most successful, having made its own mark on Greek football, as it was the first Dodecanese and, more generally, island team (apart from Crete) to compete in the Super League. It uses the Municipal Stadium of Rhodes "Diagoras" as its home ground.

In the past, it had volleyball and judo sections.

History

Rodos was founded in 1968 after the merger of Diagoras, Rodiakos and Dorieas[2]. Its first participation in a professional championship was in 1969 at the Beta Ethniki. After nine years in 1978, it managed to compete in the first national division. In 1985, while Rhodes split with Diagoras and all of its core body was moved to the national team, the team competed in the Beta Ethniki and by 1988 had slipped into the Beta Ethniki[clarification needed]. In 1994 it re-merged with Diagoras and created the Enosis Rodos-Diagoras. The union lasted only four years and in 1998 the Rhodes team was re-established. The highlight of this new endeavor was the team's involvement in the Beta Ethniki in the 2009–10 season.
