History

Since 1928 József Künsztler, coach of the first team, tried to rejuvenate the team with players from the second (reverse) team.

During the 1950s the ex-player of the team, Antonis Migiakis, had the leading role on the creation of the first youth departments of the club. First coaches were Harry Game and Svetislav Glišović. Migiakis was appointed later also as a coach the years 1967–69, 1971-74 και 1981–85. Andreas Papaemmanouil had also significant contribution.

During the presidency of Yiorgos Vardinogiannis the academy was re-organized. Alf Ramsey was appointed as Technical Director, while all the youth departments were housed in Paiania (training ground).

In 2005 Panathinaikos won the Copa Amsterdam, the annual youth football tournament, organized and hosted by AFC Ajax.

Since 2013, the academies are housed also in the Georgios Kalafatis Sports Center, the new athletic center of Panathinaikos FC.
