Founded in 2021, it is the reserve team of PAOK, and currently plays in Super League Greece 2, holding its home matches at the Makedonikos Stadium.

Reserve teams in Greece play in the same league system as the senior team, rather than in a reserve team league. They must play at least one level below their main side, and thus PAOK B are ineligible for promotion to Super League Greece. They also cannot play in the Greek Cup.

Overview

All players will be able to move up and down in the first team, which means that if an injured player wants to prepare better, he will play in the second team and then return to the first team. B Teams will normally participate in all competitive activities. They will not have the right to be promoted to the same category as the first team, but they will normally participate in the playoffs and playouts, but not in the Cup, where they will not have the right to participate. While, of course, if they occupy low places in the standings, they will be relegated like all teams.[3]

History

Founded in 2021, became PAOK F.C.' reserve team and began to play home games at Makedonikos Stadium. The team is intended to be the final step between PAOK Academy and the first team, and is usually made up of promising youngsters between the age of 18 and 23, with five or six players over that age to provide experience.
