The Greek football team in Sudan in the 1930s

 (excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in Sudan’)

In 1921, a football championship was launched in Khartoum with the participation of teams formed by members of the British administration and people of different nationalities. The “Hellenic Athletic Club” was one of those teams. Matches were usually held at Gordon College and there were two annual cups. In 1931, the Greek team played a total of 20 football matches with 14 wins, 3 defeats and 3 draws.
