Vyzas F.C. (

football club based in Megara, Greece
. It was founded in 1928.

History

Vyzas Megaron was founded in 1928 by students and named after the ancient Megara hero

Alpha Ethniki
, where it played for four years. Its best result was seventh.

Between 1970 and 1975 and between 1979 and 1983, Vyzas played in

Panionios
at Nea Smyrni. Vyzas was losing 1–0 till 90th minute where the Megara team had a genuine chance, which was stopped by a handball, as Megarians said, but the referee gave nothing. Trikala won the game by 2–0 and the next season took part at Beta Ethniki. In 2011, the team finished 2nd in the South Group and entered the Football League where they remain until 2013 where they finished 19th.

As a historical team Vyzas has its big rivalries with other teams such as

Salamina
. At the 2009–2010 season Vyzas and Panachaiki were the two first teams of the South Group and was fighting for the first and the promotion to Beta ethniki. They played an extremely important match very late in the season, in the crowded Megara stadium. About 3000 Megarians made a fantastic atmosphere supporting their team but finally game ended 0–0. Vyzas didn't make it to gain promotion that season.

Stadium

Megara Stadium, the home ground of Vyzas is located in the centre of the city, and its capacity is 2,350. Although, from the 2012–13 season, Vyzas is playing to "Primary Stadium of Megara" which is at the west of the city and it is the main training ground of the other Megara-based team, A.O.Megaron, a very successful team in basketball and athletics.[2]
