Formerly known as Afyonkarahisar Belediyespor, the team was founded and sponsored by Afyonkarahisar Municipality in 2013. In 2018, the club earned promotion to the first-tier Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL) for the first time, after winning the TBL promotion play-offs.[2]

Their first season in the BSL, 2018–2019, they finished 14th, avoiding relegation by one point. Their second season, they finished 13th, and in their third season, 2020–2021, they finished 10th. However the following season, 2021–22, the team would be relegated in 16th earning only 4 wins the whole season. The club was scheduled to play in the second tier Turkish Basketball First League, but due to financial issues, did not register. They were relegated again, and are currently due to play in the Turkish Basketball Second League, the third tier, but have failed to do so in the 2022–2023 season.
