[edit] History

The Athletic Association of Trikala 2000 was founded on September 13, 1999, following the merger of local Trikala teams Danaos and Sporting. Since it was set up, the club has had a rapid rise up the Greek basketball leagues. In 2002, just three years after they were founded, Trikala won promotion to the Greek basketball B league. In 2006, they again won promotion to the Greek A2 League. Just two years later they completed their journey by gaining promotion to the Greek A1 League after winning the A2 league during the 2007-08 season. The club tied Makedonikos' A2 league record for most wins in a season with 24.

The team's first season in A1 was a relatively successful and dramatic one as they safeguarded their survival in the league in the last game of the season on April 22, 2009.
