History
In 1919, organized basketball began to be played by the club locally. Then in 1921, the parent athletic club Χ.Α.Ν.Θ. (English: Y.M.C.A.) was formed, and it included a basketball section. XAN Thessaloniki was one of the founding members of the first Thessaloniki regional basketball tournament (1925–26), and it finished in second place behind Aris.
XAN Thessaloniki has played in the top Greek League 12 times. The club also played in the FIBA Korać Cup competition in 1973,[1] 1973-74,[2] and in 1974-75.[3]
XAN also won the Greek B National League in 1977, and the Greek C National League in 1992.
