Source-derived summary

Panelefsiniakos B.C. (Greek: Πανελευσινιακός K.A.E.) is a Greek professional basketball club that is located in Elefsina, Greece. Panelefsiniakos basketball section was founded in 1969, and the club is also commonly known as Elefsina B.C. The team competes in the Greek B Basket League since 2015.

History

The club's parent athletic association, Panelefsiniakos A.O.K. Elefsina, was founded in the year 1931. The club's basketball section, Panelefsiniakos B.C., was founded in the year 1969. Panelefsiniakos B.C. won the Greek Second Division championship in 2012.

2012–2015: The A1 experience

The club competed in the first tier professional basketball league in Greece (Greek Basket League) for first time in its history in the 2012–13 season. Panelefsiniakos made a mediocre start at its debut Greek Basket League season, as the team registered just 2 victories in the first 10 match days of the league. The team spent the first round playing at Peristeri Arena (17 km away from the town of Elefsina), due to necessary renovation to its home court which lasted for about 3 months.

In order to avoid relegation, Panelefsiniakos improved its performance in the following months and got crucial wins at home against PAOK, Panionios and Peristeri. The team of coach Giorgos Skarafigkas beat also KAOD and Rethymno and finished the season with a 7–19 record (11th spot in the standings).

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as basketball team based in Elefsina, Attica, Greece. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15077441. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 2015, 1931 and 2012.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
