2015–16 Ergotelis F.C. season

The 2015–16 season was Ergotelis' 86th season in existence, 1st season in the Football League since the club's latest relegation from the Super League Greece, and ultimately the last season the club competed at a professional level, after its debut 14 years ago (2002). Ergotelis also participated in the Greek cup, entering the competition in the Second Round, and advancing up to the Round of 16. Unbearable financial issues forced club officials to withdraw the team from professional competitions on 19 January 2016.^[1]
