Oikonomos Football Club (Greek: Α.Ο. Οικονόμος Τσαριτσάνης) is a Greek football club, based in Tsaritsani, Larissa regional unit. The association was founded in 1953.

History

[edit]

Oikonomos started from the lower divIsions of the Larissa FCA. In 2009 the club came close to promotion to Delta Ethniki but finished runners-up. The following 2009–10 season they were promoted to the Greek fourth division and in 2011, another promotion followed to the Football League 2 for the first time in history after becoming champions of the 2010–11 Delta Ethniki.[1]

In the 2011-12 Oikonomos missed out on promotion to Beta Ethniki in the play-off round. The club played in Football League 2 for 5 seasons until 2015–16. Oikonomos returned to the third tier in 2018 and returned to the Larissa FCA in 2021.

Legendary centre-back Giorgos Mitsibonas (1988 Greek champion) started his career from the club as striker in late 1970s.

Nikoulis: hat-trick record

[edit]

On 10 October 2010 during the match against Apollon Larissa (4–1), Oikonomos' forward Alexis Nikoulis scored a record hat-trick from direct free-kicks.[2] Nikoulis' record equalized that of Kostas Frantzeskos of 1997 in Greek football. He is one of the few players worldwide to achieve such a feat.
