Holargos B.C. (alternate spellings: Cholargos, Holargou, Cholargou) is a Greek professional basketball club. The club is located in Cholargos, Athens, Greece. The club's full name is Athlitiki Enosi Holargou (Greek: Αθλητική Ένωση Χολαργού), which is abbreviated as (Α.Ε. Χολαργού), and which means Basketball Club Holargos.

In 2016, the club was merged with Livadeia, and was thus promoted to the Greek 2nd Division.

History

In 2009, Holargos appeared for the first time in the 4th-tier level of the Greek national championships, in the Greek C League. In 2012, the club was promoted to the 3rd-tier level Greek B League, and stayed there for 3 years.

In 2016, the club merged with Livadeia, in order to be able to participate in the 2nd-tier level Greek A2 League.[1] During the 2016 summer transfer window, Holargos managed to make some very good transfers (for that level of competition), including Nikos Angelopoulos, Georgios Apostolidis, Georgios Tsiakos, Igor Milošević, and Kevin Bleeker, who became the first non-Greek player to sign with the team.

In 2018, Holargos managed to be promoted to the top-tier level Greek Basket League for the first time in its history, after defeating Apollon Patras in the finals of the Greek A2 Basket League promotion playoffs. For their first year in the Greek Basket League, Holargos appointed Aris Lykogiannis as the team's head coach.

Arena

Holargos plays its home games at the Antonis Tritsis Indoor Hall, which was opened in 1990. The arena originally had a seating capacity of 1,000, but it was increased to 1,665 for the club's debut in the top-tier level Greek Basket League's 2018–19 season.
