Aris Thessaloniki Volleyball Club is the professional volleyball team ofA.C. Aris Thessaloniki, the major multi-sport club ofThessaloniki,Greece. Aris VC participates in thePre League and it is one of the most historical teams of the whole club and of the most stable values of the Greek volleyball, inside and outside its borders.
Aris was the first team to endOlympiacos andPanathinaikos domination of the sport, conquering the Greek Championship in 1997. Aris' roster, that period, was the strongest the club ever had, as it included top scorers Ganev, Konstantinov and some of the most capableGreek players then available: Alexandropoulos, Papakosmas, Melkas, Mitroudis, Chatziantoniou etc.
The club has to demonstrate a very decent and respectful presence in the Greek Cup as well, having reached the final five times. The fact that they had to play all the finals against the season's champions (Olympiacos 4 times andIraklis 1 time), prevented Aris from winning even one of them. However, they won the Super Cup in 1997. The following season they participated in theChampions League, with a remarkable presence and especially an unforgettable 3-0 road win against European championModena.
On 9 February 2002, Aris Thessaloniki set a record for one of the longest sets played in men's volleyball worldwide, when it played againstA.E. Nikaia for 44 minutes and 42 seconds.[1]
