[edit] History
It was founded in 1927 in Patras. Members included teams from the prefectures of Aetolia-Acarnania, Ilia, Kefalonia and Zakynthos. Aetolia-Acarnania established its own association in 1969, Ilia and Zakynthos in 1971, and in 1975 Kefallonia (as Kefalonia and Ithaca Football Clubs Association). Founding members of the association were the teams:
- Panachaiki
- Olympiakos Patras
- Apollon Patras
- Thyella Patras
- Lefkos Asteras Patras
- Iraklis Pyrgos
- Aris Aitoliko
[edit] Organization
The association is a member of the Hellenic Football Federation and organizes a regional football league and cup. It currently represents 700 football players and 156 amateur men's football clubs (126 of which are active).
Six of these football clubs are playing in national leagues. The only women's football club of Achaia F.C.A. is playing in the first national league.
The football clubs are separated in three leagues:
- Achaia F.C.A. A League (18 clubs)
- Achaia F.C.A. B League (36 clubs in two divisions)
- Achaia F.C.A. C league (76 clubs in four divisions)
[edit] International participation
Achaia F.C.A. eliminated the collective teams of other amateur Greek leagues in 2005, thus representing Greece in the UEFA Regions Cup[1] in Budapest (UEFA's top amateur competition where only one team composed of players from one amateur domestic league can qualify).
