Trikala B.C. (Greek: Τρίκαλα K.A.E.), for sponsorship reasons known as Trikala Aries, is a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Trikala, Greece. The club was previously known as Aeolus Trikalon (Greek: Αίολος Τρικάλων).

History

Trikala Aries Basketball Club was founded in 1993, under the name Aeolus Trikalon Basketball Club. During the 2008–09 season, Aeolus failed to achieve a promotion place in their league, and qualify to the Greek B League (3rd-tier division on the Greek basketball pyramid). However, in the subsequent 2009–10 season, Aeolus managed to qualify.

In the next season, 2010–11, they finished in 9th place in the Greek B League. In 2012, the club changed its name to Trikala Basketball Club, abbreviated as Trikala B.C., and it then competed in the Greek Second Division, for the first time, during the 2012–13 season.[1] In 2013, Greek company Aries became the official name sponsor of the team.

The club competed in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, for the first time, in the 2013–14 season. During their first season in the top level Greek League, Trikala finished in 11th place.
