Koroivos B.C. or Koroivos Amaliadas B.C. (alternate spellings: Koroibos Amaliada) (Greek: Κόροιβος Αμαλιάδας KAE), is a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Amaliada, Greece. The club's full name is Athlitikos Syllogos Amaliadas Koroivos (Αθλητικός Σύλλογος Αμαλιάδας Κόροιβος), which is also abbreviated as A.S.A. Koroivos (Α.Σ.Α. Κόροιβος) and maintains different sport departments. The name is in honour of the first Olympic winner Coroebus of Elis.

History

The parent athletic club of Koroivos was founded in 1982, and the club's basketball section was founded in 1983. In 2010, Koroivos merged with Xanthi and gained Xanthi's club rights, and also took their place in the Greek 2nd Division during the 2010–11 season. Koroivos also took AEK Athens' place in the Greek 2nd Division during the 2012–13 season.

Koroivos finished in 2nd place in the Greek 2nd Division in the 2013–14 season, after Sakis Karidas hit a 3 pointer at the end of the game against Kavala, to give Koroivos a 58 to 57 win in the next to last game of the season. The club thus gained promotion to play in the top Greek League for the first time in the 2014–15 season.
