History

The A.O. Sporting parent athletic association was founded in 1936, after a group of Greeks moved the Sporting Istanbul (Constantinople) club that had been founded in 1924, to Athens. Sporting began with sports departments in basketball and volleyball, and later added the sports of boxing, swimming, and ping pong. Today, the A.O. Sporting athletic club has only the basketball department, A.O. Sporting B.C.

Over the years, some of the players from Sporting B.C. played for the senior men's Greek National Basketball Team. The team competed in the FIBA Korać Cup competition in the 1979–80, 1980–81, 1995–96, and 1996–97 seasons. Sporting won the Greek Second Division championship three times, in 1988, 1991 and 2007.
