Since its founding in 2002, the club has become the “home” of A.E.K. fans in Melbourne, providing a space where they can watch their beloved team, share the joy and sorrow of the matches, and keep their passion for the yellow and black jersey alive.
A few days ago, members of Original 21 Melbourne gathered in South Yarra for the traditional cutting of the vasilopita, welcoming the New Year with optimism and hopes for even more successes for A.E.K. The event, held in a particularly warm and family atmosphere, brought together old and new friends of the team, proving once again that A.E.K. unites.
The celebration began with wishes for the New Year, while a special moment was the cutting of the traditional vasilopita, with the lucky coin going to one of the oldest supporters of the club. Members had the opportunity to exchange views on the team’s progress, recall significant moments of the past, and plan the clubs future activities.
Original 21 Melbourne is not just a fan club – it’s a big family. For over 23 years, it has stood by the team and has become a meeting point for A.E.K. fans from all over Australia.
From watching the matches to charitable activities and trips to Greece to support the team up close, the members of the club prove that love for A.E.K. knows no borders.
The vasilopita cutting event was another reminder of the strong bond that connects A.E.K. with the Greeks of the diaspora. With their eyes on the future, members of Original 21 Melbourne renew their appointment for the next gatherings, with the certainty that the flame of A.E..K will continue to burn brightly in Melbourne.
