History
In 1983, Peristeri Athens won first place in the second division of pro Greek basketball, the Greek A2 League. In 1989, Peristeri again won the A2 Division Championship, for the first time while competing under the Greek basketball's current pro competition format. In the following season of 1989–90, Peristeri played games for the first time in the top-tier level Greek League.
In the subsequent years in that era, the team was very successful, and many well-known basketball players played for the club. During this era, Peristeri competed in the European 3rd-tier level Korać Cup 7 times (in the years 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, and 2000). Well-known players such as Marko Jarić, Milan Gurović, Angelos Koronios, Michalis Pelekanos, Kostas Tsartsaris, and Alphonso Ford played for the club in that era.
In 2001, led by the great scorer Ford, Peristeri finished in second place in the Greek League in the regular season. The club also competed in the European 1st-tier level EuroLeague competition, during the Euroleague 2000–01 and the Euroleague 2001–02 seasons. In 2003, Peristeri competed in the European 4th-tier level FIBA EuroCup Challenge. In the year 2004, the club played in the European 3rd-tier level FIBA EuroChallenge.
Following the 2003–04 season, Peristeri was downgraded to the Greek B League, due to great financial troubles within the sports club. For the 2007–08 season, Peristeri Athens returned to the A2 Division, after finishing in second place in the Greek B League in the 2006–07 season. Cezary Trybański signed with the team for the 2007–08 season. After the 2012–13 Greek Basket League season, Peristeri was again relegated to the Greek A2 League. On account of economic weakness, the club did not take part in the A2 League in the following season, and instead competed in the Greek B League (the 4th division overall, and third national league of the Greek basketball league system).[1]
In the 2014–15 season, Peristeri finished at 4th place in the 1st group of the Greek B League. Nevertheless, due to the withdrawal of Panionios from the Greek A2 League, Peristeri was promoted back to the A2 League, as they replaced Panionios in the competition.[2]
In the 2017–18 season, Peristeri won its third A2 League championship, and was promoted to the Greek Basket League for the 2018–19 season. The team broke the won/loss record during the season, and finished with a record of 29 wins and just 1 loss.[3]
In Europe
Peristeri has an overall record, from 1991–92 (first participation) to 2003–04 (last participation) of: 67 wins and 58 losses, plus 1 tie in, 126 games played in all the European-wide professional club basketball competitions.
Arena
Peristeri plays its home games in the Peristeri Arena, which has a seating capacity of 4,000 people.[4]
