History

Nea Kifissia B.C. English logo.

A.E.N.K. was founded in 1994, with the men's basketball section being started in 1996. The club competed in the Greek Second Division, for the first time, during the 2011–12 season. The club won the Greek Second Division championship in 2013.^[1]

They played in the top league in Greece, the Greek Basket League, for the first time in the 2013–14 season. The club's first season in the league was amazing, considering it was their first time competing in Greece's top division. They finished in fifth place in the regular season.

The success of the club has been compared with the success that Maroussi had in the Greek League in the recent previous years, in where a nearby local Athens community club (Marousi and Kifissia are located near each other) was able to achieve good results on the Greek national level.

In the 2016–17 season, the club qualified play for the first time in a European-wide league tournament, as they qualified to play in the Champions League. However, the club refused its place in the Champions League, due to financial issues. Nowadays the team competes in Greek C League.

In 2016, the club was relegated down from the first-tier Greek Basket League, to the third-tier Greek B League, due to financial problems.^[2]
