Asociación Deportiva Atenas, known simply as Atenas or Atenas de Córdoba, is a sports club based in Córdoba, Argentina. It was founded in 1938 and is mostly known for its achievements in basketball. Club's home arena is Polideportivo Carlos Cerutti, while some high attendance games are held at the Orfeo Superdomo.
Apart from basketball, other sports practised at Atenas are gymnastics, swimming and volleyball.
The club was founded on March 7, 1938 mainly by former members of the New Tennis Club. Sports practiced at the club include athletics, chess, biking, swimming, gymnastics, judo and karate. However, Atenas is internationally recognised for its basketball team.
Before the creation of the Liga Nacional de Básquet (first Argentine nationwide professional league), Atenas was successful at the Cordobese local basketball league, winning the championship consecutively between 1948 and 1957 (exception made of 1953).
Since the creation of the Liga Nacional in 1984, Atenas has become the most successful team in the league, winning the championship 9 times: 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991–92, 1997–98, 1998–99, 2001–02, 2002–03 and 2008–09. Moreover, the Córdoba outfit has won the Liga Sudamericana (South American League) in 1997, 1998 and 2004, and the former Campeonato Sudamericano de Clubes (South American Clubs Championship) in 1993, 1994, and 1996.
