History
Ethnikos participated 7 times in the
Beta Ethniki
The Football League ( el, Φούτμπολ Λιγκ) was the second highest professional football league in Greece since its inception in 1962 as ''Beta Ethniki'' and until 2019. It then served as a third tier after the creation of the Super Lea ...
between 1963 and 1974, 8 times in the
Gamma Ethniki between 1983 and 1994 and in the 1972
Greek Amateur Cup final as G.S. Alexandroupoli, where it lost against Fivos Kremasti at
Karaiskaki Stadium.
In 1969, due to a law by the
regime of the Colonels which ruled Greece at the time,
Ethnikos was merged with Doxa Alexandroupoli to form G.S. Alexandroupoli. In 1973, Ethnikos re-established its football department and in 1995 it was merged with A.O. Alexandroupoli, a club formed by G.S. Alexandroupoli and Kyklopas Makris, to form Orfeas Alexandroupoli, which in 1999 it was renamed
Enosi Thraki. In the same year, Ethnikos Alexandroupoli was re-established at the
local Evros championships,
where it currently plays.
