History
In 1968, Amyna Rouf and Erigona merged with Rouf.
In 2009, they promoted to Gamma Ethniki. During the 2011-2012 season Rouf were active in the Football League 2 - South in Greece and spent their third consecutive season in the third tier of Greek football. On occasion the club has been criticised for being a "mesh up" of several Greek clubs including Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos.
The average attendance at Rouf's home games in the 2011-2012 season was 467, An increase on the 2010-2011 season by 109. Dimitris Arnoutis is the manager and head coach of the club and has enjoyed a run of success since taking over from Michalis Papadopoulos in late 2007. He is the longest serving manager at the club since Costas Gianakis from 1956-1970. Recent rumours suggest that the club could soon see a level of investment coming from a further shareholder that would see them become the richest team in Greece.
In the 2012-2013 season, the club played in the Delta Ethniki (Group 2).
