PAOK made one of its top European appearances in the 2021-2022 season. The Thessaloniki team competed in the UEFA Conference League, a competition that debuted that season.

PAOK may have struggled in the tournament's qualifiers after eliminating the Irish Bohemians in overtime and the Croatian Rijeka, from which they had been defeated in the first game, but the sequel was better. In the UEFA Conference League group, PAOK was in second place. Copenhagen was first while PAOK with two wins over Lincoln, an away win over Copenhagen and two draws with Slovan Bratislava came second with 11 points.

In the first knockout round, PAOK again found a team from Denmark. Midtjylland prevailed 1-0 in the first match, but PAOK won 2-1 in the second leg in Toumba. The qualification was decided on penalties and the PAOK passed to the round of 16. The next opponent was the Belgian Genk. With a goal by Kurtić, PAOK won 1-0. In the Belgium match, PAOK took the lead with Crespo from the 20th minute. Although Depoitre equalized at 1-1, PAOK won with Douglas Augusto's goal and with 1-2 achieved a great qualification.

The quarter-finals against Marseille proved difficult. With two victories, 2-1 in Marseille and 0-1 in Thessaloniki, Marseille advanced to the semi-finals. However, PAOK made a great run until the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Adelino Vieirinha was for one more year the captain of PAOK and the leader of the team. The Portuguese played in 10 UEFA Conference League games and scored one goal. This jersey is one of the ones he had at his disposal at the event. PAOK wore the white shirt twice in the UEFA Conference League and once in the qualifiers. The game against Lincoln away and the match against Genk away were the two matches where this look was worn. In fact, in the game against Genk, Vieirinha suffered a serious head injury and after bleeding he had to change his shirt. It is not certain if this particular one was worn in one of these matches, however it comes from the team's locker room. Apart from the UEFA Conference League patch on the sleeve, the main difference of the European version is that the car.gr advertisement is missing on the back, which was however used in the game against Bohemians in the third qualifying round.
