Nea Kifissia orNea Kifisia B.C., or New Kifissia B.C. (Greek: Νέας Κηφισιάς KAE), is aGreek professionalbasketball club that is based inKifissia, a suburban town in theAthens urban area,Greece. The club's full name is Athletic Union Nea Kifissia (Αθλητική Ένωση Νέας Κηφισιάς), which is also abbreviated as Α.E.Ν.Κ., which is the club's common name. The club is also known by the name A.E.N. Kifissia (Α.Ε.Ν. Κηφισιάς).
A.E.N.K. was founded in 1994, with the men's basketball section being started in 1996. The club competed in theGreek 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, theGreek 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 thatMaroussi had in the Greek League in the recent previous years, in where a nearby local Athens community club (Marousi andKifissia are located near each other) was able to achieve good results on the Greek national level.
In the2016–17 season, the club qualified play for the first time in a European-wide league tournament, as they qualified to play in theChampions 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 thefirst-tier Greek Basket League, to thethird-tierGreek B League, due to financial problems.[2]
