The club's full name is Athlitikos Omilos Dafnis B.C., or A.O. Dafnis B.C. The club is located in [[Dafni, Athens]], [[Greece]]. The colors of the team are yellow and black, and the team's symbol is the laurel branch.

==History== The athletic organization's parent athletic union, the A.O. A.C. Dafni, was founded in 1939, when the sports club started with a [[Association football|football]] club. In 1967, the athletic union added the basketball club, A.O. Dafni B.C., as one of its sports sections.

In 1969, the team competed in the [[Greek basketball league system|top-tier level]] [[Greek Basket League]] for the first time, and stayed there until 1975. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the club often competed in the Greek top-tier league ([[Greek Basket League|A1]]). Legendary [[EuroLeague]] player [[Theo Papaloukas]], played with the club from 1997 to 1999. In the 1998–99 season, Papaloukas led Dafni B.C. to the [[Greek A2 Basket League|Greek 2nd Division]] championship. In 2010, Dafni and [[Amyntas BC|A.O. Amyntas]] merged, creating A.O. Amyntas Dafnis. In 2015, the two clubs broke their merger, and Dafni was reformed.
