'Athletic Union of Limassol'), also known as PAYABL EKA AEL WBC for sponsorship reasons and often abbreviated as AEL (Greek: ΑΕΛ), is a Cypriot professional basketball club based in Limassol. The women's section of the Basketall club is also nicknamed The Queen and since the introduction of women's professional basketball on the island, AEL women has developed into one of the most successful teams in Cyprus.
