title: 1992–93 PAOK FC season
text: # 1992–93 PAOK FC season
  
  The 1992–93 season was PAOK Football Club's 66th in existence and the club's 34th consecutive season in the top flight of Greek football. The team entered the Greek Football Cup in first round and faced Paris Saint-Germain in the 1st round of the UEFA Cup. The season was marked by the eventful second leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain which was abandoned after 51 mins due to crowd violence. PAOK were punished with a two-year ban from all European competitions by the UEFA disciplinary committee. The sentence was later reduced to one year.
