 In the meantime, several initiatives for the establishment of football clubs that would compete with OFI and EGOI were carried out during 1928−1932.This rapid establishment of football clubs during 1925−1931 (e.g.Ergotelis and "Olympiakos Heraklion" in 1929, "Iraklis Heraklion" in 1930 and "Ermis" in 1932) birthed the need to create a governing body for the coordination and organization of football clubs and competitions.
