The first basketball department of the club was founded in 1919 and was one of the first in Greece. The women's department in turn was established in the post-war period. Its last reconstitution took place in the late 1990s. The club plays in A2 Ethniki (2nd tier) but recently it has played in A1 Ethniki. They have won one Greek Championship, in 2007.[1]

History

[edit]

Panionios Women's basketball team was founded in 1947. It took part in the local championship of Athens-Piraeus since those years there wasn't a Panhellenic women championship. The club ceased its activities for some years but it returned in action in the late 1990s. Panionios achieved to win the Panhellenic championship immediately after its promotion to A1 Ethniki.[2] It is the only time that a Greek team wins a championship coming from a second division. The next years, Panionios is weakened and the current season it plays in A2 Ethniki.
