1919 and
1921 the club's base was moved near Flemming Street. The first stadium was built were today lays Mars Field Park in Stratou Avenue. Quickly it became very popular and soon new departments apart football were established. The Basketball department was formed in
1922. In
1923 it was the first Greek club that played an international match against Sporting Club of Serbia.In
1925 in a famous match Aris won 5-2 his biggest rival
