History



Basketball first came to Greece in the year 1910. By the year 1925 the first unofficial Greek championship had begun and in 1927 the first official championship began. There are three different official championship periods. The first one lasted from 1927 to 1963, when there wasn't a national championship and the champions of every district played at a later stage to define the Greek Champion. The second era started in the 1963-64 season when the Greek First Division (A Ethniki) was founded. In 1969, the EOK
