Last season, Iraklis competed in the second tier, but they suffered relegation to the third level of Greek football after contriving to finish in 11th place of the championship. Iraklis had initially harboured hopes of earning promotion to the Super League.

This season, Iraklis were due to participate in the 2019/2020 Football League, but they haven’t registered for the championship amid financial issues.

In order to sort out their problems and play in the Football League, Iraklis reportedly engaged in talks with Triglia concerning a possible merging of the two clubs’ administrations, but it doesn’t look like it will happen. Triglia released a statement which revealed that there is no truth behind the reports:

“In response to reports made in the last few days, the administration of FC Triglia informs that there is no intention to cooperate with another club. Fans of Triglia and Chalkidiki will be proud of our team in the Football League.”

It remains to be seen where Iraklis will be playing in the 2019/2020 season.
