Platanias F.C.

The club hosted its home games at the Maleme ground and at the Perivolia Municipal Stadium (during the Super League period).

In 1942–43, AO Platanias struggled in the final Cup against the traditional rivals Talos but having significant absences, such as Galanis, who brought a gun wound in the abdomen.

The jerseys were made from Nazi flags that had been stolen from the warehouses of the Germans, and residents had turned into the athletic apparel seamstresses in the village.

In 1971 Platanias had another important game against the Renaissance Chania (today Ionia), but because of the political situation of the time, the team was punished and remained inactive until 1975.

In 2009–10 season, the team fought for first time entry to Gamma Ethniki and managed, after a long effort, to remain in this class.

The period 2011–12 at the Football League started with the best conditions for Platanias, who managed to stand out from the beginning and even won the title of "champion of winter."

However, at that time an employee and resident of Platanias, Kostas Tsigounakis, volunteered to help build the stadium using a machine – loader base.

The municipal ground of Maleme is land granted by the Greek Air Force in Platanias, who built the stadium with natural grass.
