[edit] Season 2007-08

AEK bolstered the strength of their squad with the signings of Brazilian legend Rivaldo, following up with several other strong signings in Arruabarrena and Ismael Blanco.

After finishing 2nd in Super League Greece previous season, AEK entered the UEFA Champions League in the 3rd Qualifying round. On August 3, AEK were drawn against Sevilla FC, the first leg was played in Seville on August 15, while the second leg was held at the Athens Olympic Stadium. After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, AEK were drawn to play with FC Salzburg in the UEFA Cup. After defeating Salzburg 3-1 on aggregate, AEK were on October 9 drawn in Group C in the UEFA Cup group stage along with Villarreal, Fiorentina, Mladá Boleslav, and Elfsborg. On December 20, AEK booked their place in the knockout stage finishing third in the group. AEK were drawn to play Getafe CF in the next round of the UEFA Cup where they were knocked out 4-1 on aggregate. On 12 February AEK parted company with Llorenç after a poor run of form and un-successful signings.[1] The team initially finished in the first place in the league, but after the court case between Apollon Kalamarias and Olympiacos for the illegal line-up of a player in the 1-0 Apollon Kalamaria win earlier in the season, Olympiacos were awarded the 3 points thus finishing 2 points ahead of AEK. AEK then finished 2nd in the national playoff's which saw them qualify for the UEFA Cup.

[edit] Foreign players

In the Greek league only five non-EU nationals can be registered and given a squad number for the first team. Those non-EU nationals with European ancestry can claim citizenship from the nation their ancestors came from. If a player does not have European ancestry he can claim Greek citizenship after playing in Greece for 7 years. Players such as Rivaldo are not registerd as non-EU because he has a dual citizenship with Spain after playing there for 5 years.
