'''PAOK Thessaloniki''' cultivates many sports, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, handball, water polo, swimming, wrestling and weightlifting. PAOK was founded at 1926 and its colors are black and white. Because of its distinctive crest(the original Two Headed Eagle Crest is held by AEK Athens), it is also known as the "[[Double-headed eagle|Two Headed Eagle]] of the North", in contrast with the other Greek club of [[Constantinople|Constantinopolitan]] origin, [[AEK Athens]], the "[[Double-headed eagle| Two Headed Eagle]] of the South". ==Sports Departments== *[[AS PAOK| A.S.
