The Volos Derby (Greek: Ντέρμπι του Βόλου), is an association football derby contested between two of the sport clubs of Volos, Niki and Olympiacos.

Together with the matches between Niki Volos and AEL, Trikala and Anagennisi Karditsa, and possibly the matches between Olympiacos Volos and AEL, they constitute the main football derbies of the Greek countryside.

History

Clubs' establishment

Niki Volos

The club of Niki Volos was founded on August 19, 1924 by refugees from Asia Minor in the city of Volos. The team's colors are blue and white, the national colors of the Greek flag.

The first offices of Niki were located on the beach (Argonauton and Agiou Nikolaou street). The locker rooms were located in "Kartalio", corner of Polymeri and Kassaveti street. In 1930, the team acquired a privately owned stadium in the Nea Ionia area and was no longer forced to play in the park of Agios Konstantinos in the coastal zone of Volos.

Olympiacos Volos

The Olympiacos Volos club was founded on June 2, 1937 in the coastal district of Agios Konstantinos. A group of people from the district had formed their own team as early as 1935, which they called "Little Olympiacos" since they were fans of Olympiacos Piraeus. The team's colors were selected red and white, and for the emblem was selected a laurel-crowned teenager. The team's predecessor was the Kentavros Volos F.C., which had existed since 1928, and most of the group of friends who created the Olympiacos team were its players.

The club's first locker room was in a shop in Mefsout Square, while at the end of Gallias Street there was a small plot of land where the team's first training sessions took place. Officially, its founding members in 1937 were Ath. Sekaras, I. Vovos, V. Vasilikos, Ap. Pourgias, I. Alexakis, E. Doulidis, N. Katsanos, K. Konstantas, Diam. Tsourapas, E. Margaritis and others, while the first board of directors was Ap. Pourgias as president, I. Alexakis and Agoritzis as vice presidents, K. Konstantas as Secretary General, Evag. Margaritis as treasurer, Diam. Tsourapas as superintendent, Ioan. Vogiatzi as advisor.

From the early years of the club's founding until 1962 when it moved to the Volos Municipal Stadium, the team had its headquarters at the Hunting Club stadium in Anavros. The first management of Olympiacos Volos had tried to acquire its own space, but without success.

First match

The two Volos clubs first met as rivals in the TFCA Easter Cup, where Apollon, Keravnos and Odysseas also participated. Their first match in history took place on Sunday, April 18, 1937, with a large crowd and Olympiacos winning 2–1, with two goals from Nikos Malavetas, while Priamos Chiotakis scored for Niki.

The teams' starting lineups in that first match between them were as follows, for Niki: Asimis, Vouroukos, Niarchos, Spanopoulos, Vernikas, Kremmidas, Papazoglou, Polis, Tsagaris, Priamos, Bonos and for Olympiacos: Hypermachos, Vogiatzis, Galanis, Chiotis, Paschos, Zifkos, Bagios, Papathanasiou, Zisis, Malavetas and Apostolidis.

Niki – Olympiacos 11–1

On May 13, 1965, a friendly match was held in which the Nea Ionia team defeated Olympiacos Volos by a wide margin of 11–1. The goals for Niki were scored by Kasapleris (2 goals), Zanteroglou, Papadaniil, Kouklakis (2 goals), Morakis, Karailiou, Lefakis, Valachas, Kalliotzis, while for Olympiacos Volos the only goal was scored by Gialatzis. This score remains to this day the largest and widest in a match between the two teams, even though it was a friendly match.

Fans

The two teams have supporters and fans from Volos and all over Magnesia Prefecture and generally have historically had passionate fans. The rivalry between the supporters of the two teams has sometimes brought about many beautiful moments in the stands and some incidents.

Niki Volos

They are considered ardent fans as for them Niki is a sacred symbol of the refugees who settled in Nea Ionia after the Asia Minor Catastrophe.

The oldest fan association of Niki Volos is the Niki Volos Fans' Association (Omilos Filathlon Nikis), which was founded in 1974. A later fan association is the Blue Club - Gate 3 "P. Ntokouzis” which was created in 1985. The name of the association bears the name of one of its founding members, who lost his life in a traffic accident in 1997. In 2020, it was characterized as one of the 10 recognized associations nationwide. A few years later, in 1994, another association of organized fans, Blue Angels, was founded. In this association, its members characterize the youth fan movement and it has not yet been officially recognized. In fact, the team is also supported outside the prefecture of Magnesia. It is indicative that there are fan associations in Athens and Thessaloniki.

Olympiacos Volos

Olympiacos Volos represents the residents of the city center of Volos. Olympiacos Volos fans are called "Austrians". They are considered moderate fans and more measured in terms of their culture and behavior on the field, without this meaning that they have not participated in incidents.

The oldest fan association is the Olympiacos Volos Fans' Association (Syndesmos Filathlon Olympiakou Volos, S.F.O.V.) founded in 1971. The main organized fan associations are the Austrian Boys founded in 2003, the Vatos Locos founded in 2010 and the Malavetas founded in 2013. The members of these associations are hardcore and ardent fans.

Nea Ionia Derby

The Nea Ionia Derby refers to the athletic match between the teams of Niki Volos and Iraklis Volos[3].
