Historically, the first hymn of PAS Giannina was composed by Alekos Kitsakis (lyrics and music). It was a march-style anthem and more oriented to football matches.[5][6]

In 2017, Mr. Christovasilis, addressed the Epirote singer Giannis Kapsalis (son of the clarinetist Stavros Kapsalis) who is a worthy follower of folk music and adores PAS Giannina to create a new anthem.[7][8]
