Current Status
After 36 years in lower divisions A.O. Kerkyra managed to reach top-level "Alpha Ethniki" in 2004.

Though the long awaited "Alpha Ethniki" didn't end up as expected as the club was relegated, taking the last place in the final table. After a successful year in B' Ethniki, 2005-2006 season ended with Kerkyra celebrating another chance in Alpha Ethniki. 2006-2007 was another failure in Alpha Ethniki or Super League Greece, with Kerkyra fighting bravely against relegation, but ending up relegated after a 2-2 tie on the last match against Panathinaikos FC.
