Trikala Aries B.C.

Aiolos Trikalon B.C. (alternate spellings: Aeolus, Trikala; Greek: Αίολος Τρικάλων), previously known for sponsorship reasons as Trikala Aries, was a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Trikala, Greece. The club is named after Aeolus.

History
The club was founded in 1993, under the name Aiolus Trikalon Basketball Club. During the 2008–09 season, Aeolus failed to achieve a promotion place in their league, and to qualify to the Greek B League (3rd-tier division on the Greek basketball pyramid). However, in the subsequent 2009–10 season, Aeolus managed to qualify.

In the next season, 2010–11, they finished in 9th place in the Greek B League. In 2012, the club changed its name to Trikala Basketball Club, abbreviated as Trikala B.C., and it then competed in the Greek Second Division, for the first time, during the 2012–13 season. In 2013, Greek company Aries became the official name sponsor of the team, and the team became known as Trikala Aries.

The club competed in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, for the first time, in the 2013–14 season. During their first season in the top level Greek League, Trikala finished in 11th place. Following the 2017–18 season, the team had financial difficulties and had to disband. The team returned for the 2018–19 season, once again under the club's original name of Aiolos Trikalon. In 2022 the club merged with Ikaros Trikala, and the new club has the name Trikala Basket.
