[edit] History

AEK (Queen) Athens Basketball is the most successful among A.E.K's athletic departments. The obvious reason is that AEK's basketball team was the first ever Greek team to win an international trophy in any team sports. AEK won an unofficial championship played in Athens that was organized by the YMCA, in 1924-25. AEK is one of only three Greek clubs (the other two are Panathinaikos and Aris Thessaloniki) that have played in every year of the 1st Greek Basketball Division, since 1963/64, which was later, in 1986/87 renamed to the A1.

AEK was the first ever Greek team to participate in the European Championships (now called the Euroleague) Final Four, back in the year 1966. The Final Four was held in Bologna. Two years later, AEK was the first ever Greek team, not only to reach a European Cup Final, but also to win a European title. That happened back in 1968, when on April 4, AEK defeated Slavia Prague by a score of 89-82 in front of 120,000 spectators, 80,000 watching from inside the arena and 40,000 watching from outside the arena (the Guinness world record in basketball attendance)^[2]. In 1970, AEK reached the Cup Winners' Cup semifinals where the team was eliminated by Vichy Basket, France, in what turned out to be the last year of the first "Golden Era" of the club's history. And that's because AEK dominated Greek Basketball in the decade of the 1960s, by winning the Greek Championship 4 consecutive years in 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, as well as in 1968 and 1970. In all winning the Greek Championship 6 times in 8 years.

Over the next decades AEK lost its glamour, and managed to win only one trophy, the Greek Cup in the year 1981. In addition to winning the Greek Cup in 1981, AEK was also a finalist of the Greek Cup in the years 1976, 1978, 1980, 1988, and 1992, but failed to win it in each of those years.

AEK made a come back in the late 1990s, when the team played in six consecutive Greek Cup Final Fours in the years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, four consecutive Greek Cup Finals in the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and won the Greek Cup in the years 2000 and 2001. In 2002 AEK won the Greek Championship for the first time in 32 years, becoming the first team to win the Greek Championship after having lost the first two games of a 5 game playoff series. AEK lost the first two games of the series to Olympiacos, but managed to win the next 3 games and take the series and the title 3-2. AEK also reached the Greek Playoff Finals in the years 1997, 2003, and 2005, and the Greek Cup Semi-Finals in the year 2006.

In this same era, AEK again became a big level European basketball club. The team reached the European Championship's Final Four in Barcelona in 1998, and beat Benetton Treviso by a score of 69-66, before losing in the final to Virtus Bologna by a score of 44-58. In 2000, on April 11, AEK won their second international trophy, the Saporta Cup, by defeating Virtus Bologna 83-76. The next year, 2001, AEK reached the Euroleague semifinals, losing their playoff series there to TAU Cerámica in 3 straight games.

On 29 July 2008, the court of Athens defined the present administration council of AEK Athens BC, which is consisted of the following persons: 1) Mpampis Karamanlis (President), 2) Nikos Georgantzoglou, 3) Vassilis Vassios 4) George Kahris, 5) Vassilis Togelos, 6) Michalis Tsagaris, 7) Costas Papadimitriou, 8) Michalis Galitis, 9) Gerasimos Tsakardokis.

[edit] Crest and colors

The crest of AEK Basketball Club bears the double-headed eagle (Greek: Δικέφαλος Αετός - Dikefalos Aetos) on a yellow background. When AEK was created by Greek refugees in the years following the Greco-Turkish War, the emblem and colours were chosen as a reminder of lost homelands; they represent the club's historical ties to Constantinople.

[edit] Arenas

AEK plays Greek League matches in Hellinikon Olympic Arena, which has a capacity of 15,000^[3]. The club used to play its European home cup game competitions at the Athens Olympic Indoor Hall (OAKA), which seats 18,900 fans.^[4]
