Elpis Aspropyrgos is a Greek football club, based in Aspropyrgos. The club was founded in 1995 with the merger of the older clubs "Panaspropyrgiakos" ["Πανασπροπυργιακός"] (founded in 1947 from the union of all of the city's teams and from 1951 participated in Piraeus FCA championships)[1] and Doxa Aspropyrgos, with the name Enosis Aspropyrgos.

In 2009, it was promoted to Football League 2 (Greece). Enosis participated in the Low Division in the 2008-09 season and finished 7th before promoted to Football League 2.

Before the merger in the 1977-78 Greek football season, the team defeated Doxa Megalopoli 1-0 in a draw in the Greek Amateur Cup which was held in Tavros southwest of Athens.[2]

In its career, the team headed to the finals of the Greek Amateur Cup where it lost the cup to Volida Corfu in the 2008-09 season. The following season, participated in the Hellas Online Cup and defeated Aia Salamis (3-1), Diagoras Rhodes (1-1, 5-3 in penalty kicks) and Ethnikos Asteras (2-1). Enosis was defeated by Aris 3-4.

When the team got relegated to West Attica A Local, they were named Elpis Aspropyrgos, but some of the fans decided they wanted a big team rival, like Manchester United and Manchester City in Manchester and Liverpool and Everton in Merseyside, so they created another club, Krios Aspropyrgos, which competed in West Attica A Local as well.[citation needed]
