Oikonomos Football Club (Greek: Α.Ο. Οικονόμος Τσαριτσάνης) is a Greek football club, based in Tsaritsani, Larissa regional unit. The association was founded in 1953.
History
Oikonomos started from the lower divIsions of the Larissa FCA. In 2009 the club came close to promotion to Delta Ethniki but finished runners-up. The following 2009–10 season they were promoted to the Greek fourth division and in 2011, another promotion followed to the Football League 2 for the first time in history after becoming champions of the 2010–11 Delta Ethniki.[1]
In the 2011-12 Oikonomos missed out on promotion to Beta Ethniki in the play-off round. The club played in Football League 2 for 5 seasons until 2015–16. Oikonomos returned to the third tier in 2018 and returned to the Larissa FCA in 2021.
Legendary centre-back Giorgos Mitsibonas (1988 Greek champion) started his career from the club as striker in late 1970s.
Nikoulis: hat-trick record
On 10 October 2010 during the match against Apollon Larissa (4–1), Oikonomos' forward Alexis Nikoulis scored a record hat-trick from direct free-kicks.[2] Nikoulis' record equalized that of Kostas Frantzeskos of 1997 in Greek football. He is one of the few players worldwide to achieve such a feat.
