History
Krousonas is a member of the Heraklion Football Clubs Association, and has been competing in local competitions until 2006, when they won the Heraklion FCA Championship[2] and earned promotion to the (now defunct) Delta Ethniki, the fourth tier of the Greek football league system. Krousonas played for seven straight seasons in the fourth division, until 2012−13, when the competition merged with the Gamma Ethniki, the country's third football division. They played for three straight seasons in the Gamma Ethniki during 2013−16, but were relegated at the end of the 2015−16 seasons and returned to local competitions after a decade in the nationals.
