History

Palaio Faliro's parent athletic sports club was founded in 1926, with the athletic union's first sporting department being the football club. In 1928, the athletic union added the track and field section, and in 1929, it added swimming and volleyball sections. The basketball club was added in 1931, after the athletic union decided to abandon the football club, in favor of a basketball department.
