Makedonikos won the Greek A2 League, which is the second-tier league in Greece, in the years 2000 and 2002. During the 2001–02 season, the team set the then A2 season record for most wins, with 24. Makedonikos was the runner-up of the EuroCup's 2004–05 season.
Since its foundation in 1948, Makedonikos' home city was Thessaloniki, Greece. Otherwise, when the team was bought by Dimitris Mesaikos, the franchise was moved to Kozani, Greece, in the mid 2000s, to play in a newer, larger arena that had just opened there.[1] The team returned to Thessaloniki, Greece, after it had financial problems while playing in Kozani.
Makedonikos competed in the top-tier level Greek Basket League for several years, until going bankrupt in 2007, when it was relegated to the third-tier level Greek B League.
Makedonios plays its domestic home games at the 600 seat Makedonikos Indoor Hall, which is located in Thessaloniki, Greece. When the club was located in Kozani, Greece, they played their homes games at the 1,500 seat Ioannis Skarkalas Indoor Hall.
