History
In 1968, Amyna Rouf and Erigona merged with Rouf.
In 2009, they promoted to Gamma Ethniki. During the 2011–12 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 2011–12 season was 467, An increase on the 2010–11 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 to 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 2012–13 season, the club played in the Delta Ethniki (Group 2).
