AEK V.C.

The men's volleyball department of AEK was originally founded in the 1930s, but soon it was disbanded and reopened in 1967 by Jason Platsi. It then participated in the third category of Athens. Nevertheless, it was not maintained and was reconstituted in 1982 to participate again in the third category of Athens. Between 1985–86 the club participated in the second division and won promotion to the 1986–87 local first division.

From 1987–88, the club was struggling in the lower national categories. The club remained in the lower national divisions for four years until it won the 1990–91 championship with a record of twenty-two victories. The next year AEK participated in the second Athens division and gained promotion to the third national division.

During the 1992–93 season, AEK participated for the first time in the A2 and missed promotion to the first national category against PAOK. Nonetheless, the club won promotion to the A1 the next year with a record of nineteen victories.

The initial presence of the club in the top volleyball national category (1994–95) was unsuccessful and the club was relegated after recording only three wins.

The second half of the 90s until the beginning of the new millennium was the best year for black and yellow volleyball. The group not only participated in the A1 division but also won a ticket for the 1998–99 European Cup occupying the fifth position. It also reached the cup final and lost against Olympiacos with a 3–1 score.

In 2000, AEK with coach Stelios Prosalikas reached its peak after participating in the Cup Winners Cup final four. The games were held in March 2000 in Athens. AEK lost in the semifinal to Cuneo but won 3–1 against Galatasaray in the consolation final winning the bronze medal.

Unfortunately, since the downturn began in the 2001–02 year, the team was relegated to A2. The last official match was in Georgios Moschos Indoor Hall, AEK defeating Pangrati and celebrating the championship and return to the A1. But the team was not able to stay in the great division and was relegated again. The last two years the group fought at A2, won the Championship in 2005–06, and from 2006–07 returned to A1. In 2013-14, AEK played in A1 Ethniki and finished the championship in 7th place.^[1] During this season, AEK also managed to win the first domestic cup title in the men's team's history. More specifically, AEK beat Foinikas Sirou 3–2 in the final of the third Greek League Cup, after having defeated in the semi-final the big favorite and host of the final-four tournament Ethnikos Alexandroupolis (0–3).^[2]

In March 2023, the club won the second national division for the sixth time and returned to the A1.^[3]

In September 2023, due to a lack of financial resources AEK withdrew from A1 and didn't participate. In September 2024 Alexis Alexiou issued a different club which started from Beta Ethniki.

AEK has played 14 times in A1 Ethniki (first division). They played in A1, in season 1994–95 for the first time. From 1996–97 to 2001–02 was playing continuously in A1. The last years were going up and down the divisions.^[4]
