Aris Thessaloniki Volleyball Club is the professional volleyball team of A.C. Aris Thessaloniki, the major multi-sport club of Thessaloniki, Greece. Aris VC participates in the A2 League and it is one of the most historical teams of the whole club and of the most stable values of the Greek volleyball, inside and outside its borders.
History[]
Aris was the first team to end Olympiacos and Panathinaikos domination of the sport, conquering the Greek Championship in 1997. Aris' roster, that period, was the strongest the club ever had, as it included top scorers Ganev, Konstantinov and some of the most capable Greek players then available: Alexandropoulos, Papakosmas, Melkas, Mitroudis, Chatziantoniou etc.
The club has to demonstrate a very decent and respectful presence in the Greek Cup as well, having reached the final six times. The fact that they had to play all the finals against the season's champions (Olympiacos 5 times and Iraklis 1 time), prevented Aris from winning even one of them. However, they won the Super Cup in 1997. The following season they participated in the Champions League, with a remarkable presence and especially an unforgettable 3-0 road win against European champion Modena.
