Egaleo B.C. (alternate spelling: Aigaleo) (Greek: ΑΙΓΑΛΕΩ KAE) is a Greek professional basketball team that is located in Egaleo, Greece, which is a suburb of Athens. The club's full name is Egaleo A.O. B.C. (Greek: ΑΙΓΑΛΕΩ A.O. KAE). Egaleo currently plays in the third-tier Greek League of basketball, the B National Basketball League. The club is located in Athens, but it does not have the financial resources to compete in the same manner as the big Athenian clubs like Panathinaikos, Olympiacos, AEK Athens, and Panionios. ==History== The team's parent athletic club was founded in 1931, as Ierapolis Athletic Union (Greek:: Αθλητική Ένωσις Ιεράπολι), and the basketball division of the athletic organization was founded in 1956, by Alexandros Stavropoulos. Although the basketball department was founded in 1956, it took the club exactly fifty years to participate in the Greek First Division, which is the highest professional basketball league in Greece, in the 2006-07 season. During the 1950s and 1960s, the team remained in the lowest local (third) division, until 1971, when it qualified for the higher league, because of a new categorical system. In 1973 and 1974, Egaleo B.C. won two league promotions, and finally took part in the B National (1974–75, 1975-76 seasons). For the next 12 years, the team participated in the first local league (A E.S.K.A.), except in the 1981-82 season, when it was in the B E.S.K.A., after 1981's relegation. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Egaleo B.C. participated in the C National, where it played six seasons in total, but was relegated again to the local league in 1994. In 1997, Egaleo won the A E.S.K.A. Championship, and after two years, in 1999, Egaleo B.C. returned to the B National, where it played six seasons in total. In 2004, Egaleo B.C. won the B National championship, and after having a short presence in the HEBA A2, it was promoted to the Greek Basket League, in 2006. From 1999 to 2006, the team was coached by Dimitrios Karvelas and after him, Thanasis Skourtopoulos took this position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egaleo B.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
