Senior team history

as Nees Ergoteli (–2016)

Originally competing in national competitions as Nees Ergoteli (Greek: Νέες Εργοτέλη, Young Ergotelis (♀)) the club has played in the Pan-Hellenic Women's Football Championship for many years. It is the most successful Women's Football Club in Crete, clinging to a 4th-place finish in the highest professional women's football league in Greece and reaching the Greek Women's Cup semi-finals during the 2015−2016 season.[1] Many of the club's athletes have received multiple call-ups for the Greek women's national football team as a result of the club's success.

as G.S. Ergotelis (2016–current)

In 2012, Ergotelis established a second women's football department, named after the parent club G.S. Ergotelis (Greek: Γ.Σ. Εργοτέλης) and consisting primarily of younger athletes from the club's training academies.[2] After internal disputes led to the parent club's board of directors to shut-down and dissolve Nees Ergoteli in September 2016, «aiming to purge people and practices that are inappropriate for the ethos and history of Ergotelis»,[3] G.S. Ergotelis became the senior Ergotelis Women's football department. After its internal promotion to senior squad, Ergotelis won back-to-back Division titles in both the Gamma [4] and Beta Ethniki,[5] third and second tiers of the Greek women's football league system, thus managing a swift return of the club's women's football department back to top-flight. They since compete in the Pan-Hellenic Women's Football Championship, the top tier of the Greek women's football league system.
