AO Kavala's basketball department is entering the new season with a renewed administrative and competitive structure, after going without a men's team in most divisions for several years. Club officials say the framework has been shaped by people with experience and enthusiasm, aiming to re-establish the team among the region's leading sides while holding to the sporting ethics associated with historic AOK president Christos Batsis. The club has called on its supporter base, who backed the rebuilding effort from the start, to continue offering support as the new structure gets under way.
