Diagoras is named after the island's ancient athlete Diagoras.

The team first played under Ottoman Rule until the short lived independence of the Dodecanese in 1912 and then under the italian occupation of the island. No matches at all were held during the Balkan Wars and the team played only with other local teams until the Dodecanese joined with the rest of Greece in 1948.

History

The club demonstrated rich social, cultural, sporting and especially patriotic activities, because of which was dissolved by the occupying Fascist Italian authorities in 1929. Diagoras reconstituted in 1945, just prior to the liberation of Rhodes and the union with the rest of Hellas. He first joined the Beta Ethniki (2nd national division) in its creation in 1962-'63. They played in Alpha Ethniki (1st national division) between 1986-1989.

In 1987, the club reached the semi-finals of the Greek Cup, losing to OFI.

Diagoras returned to Beta Ethinki in 2008 until 2012.

In the 2019–2020 season, Diagoras finished in third place of the Football League (3rd tier) and was promoted to the Super League 2 (Beta Ethniki), the second tier of the professional football in Hellas.[2]
