History
Origins as Seven Swords Basketball Club (2017–2020)
Seven Swords BC traces its origins to Seven Swords Basketball Club, which was founded in 2017 in Palanka, then part of Nohavland. The original club became one of the six participants in the Warrior Basketball League, a competition established to develop organised basketball in Srbozemska. The league operated as a qualifying competition for the regional Koldagas Basketball League, bringing together basketball clubs from different communities in the region.
During its early years, Seven Swords Basketball Club played its home matches at The Sword Park Arena, an indoor sporting venue with a capacity of 8,000 spectators. Milan Momtilov served as head coach of the team, which became known by the nickname The Greens. The club's green identity and distinctive name established it as one of the recognisable basketball organisations of Palanka.
Although Seven Swords participated in the inaugural 2017–18 Warrior Basketball League season, detailed records of its matches, final league position and subsequent competitive activities are not currently available. The original organisation was dissolved on 12 August 2020, coinciding with the disappearance of Krasnocoria. Nevertheless, the club's name and sporting identity remained associated with the basketball heritage of Palanka.
Re-establishment as Seven Swords BC (2026)
In 2026, professional basketball in Çakaristan underwent a major reorganisation with the revival of the Warrior Basketball League, sponsored by Warrior Snacks. The renewed competition brought together historical clubs from the former Warrior Basketball League and the Koldagas Basketball League, alongside newly established basketball organisations representing different regions of Çakaristan.
Seven Swords Basketball Club was among the historical organisations selected for revival. The club was re-established under the shortened name Seven Swords BC, preserving its historical identity while adopting a modernised name for participation in the national competition. The revived club retained its green colours and the traditional nickname The Greens, while introducing white as a secondary colour.
Vladimir Đorđević, a Çakari basketball coach of Srbozemsk heritage, was appointed as head coach of the revived men's team. The club also retained The Sword Park Arena as its home venue, maintaining its connection to the basketball traditions of Palanka.
Warrior Basketball League (2026–present)
Seven Swords BC entered the re-established Warrior Basketball League for the 2026–27 season as one of twelve participating men's teams. The competition marked the return of the club to professional basketball following the dissolution of its historical predecessor in 2020.
The renewed league reunited Seven Swords with several former Warrior Basketball League participants, including Krava Wolves and Palanka Golden Eagles. The competition also brought the club into contact with historical teams from the Koldagas Basketball League and newly established organisations from other parts of Çakaristan.
Under head coach Vladimir Đorđević, Seven Swords BC adopted a playing philosophy based on disciplined defence, quick ball movement and collective teamwork. The club's participation in the Warrior Basketball League restored one of Palanka's historic basketball organisations to national competition.
Identity
Seven Swords BC retains the nickname The Greens, inherited from its predecessor, Seven Swords Basketball Club. Green remains the club's primary colour, with white adopted as a secondary colour following its revival in 2026. The organisation's identity is centred on the Seven Swords name, representing unity, determination and collective strength.
Unlike several other revived Krasnocorian basketball clubs, Seven Swords BC retained almost its entire historical name. The abbreviation "BC" replaced the longer designation "Basketball Club", allowing the organisation to modernise its identity while preserving continuity with the club founded in 2017.
The club recognises 2017 as its historical founding year and 2026 as the beginning of its revived existence within Çakaristan. Its colours, name and traditional home venue remain important connections to the original Nohavlandian basketball organisation.
Arena
Seven Swords BC plays its home matches at The Sword Park Arena, an indoor sports venue in Palanka, Rečnozemlja, with a seating capacity of 8,000 spectators. The arena served as the home of the original Seven Swords Basketball Club and remained an important part of its sporting identity following the dissolution of the historical organisation.
Following the club's revival in 2026, The Sword Park Arena was retained as its permanent home venue. The continued use of the arena preserves the connection between the modern basketball club and its predecessor, while providing a venue for national Warrior Basketball League matches.
Rivalries
Seven Swords BC shares its home city with Palanka Golden Eagles, another participant in the Warrior Basketball League. Both clubs trace their origins to the original Nohavlandian basketball competition, creating the foundations for a local basketball rivalry.
The meetings between Seven Swords BC and Palanka Golden Eagles are known as the Palanka Derby. The fixture represents the rivalry between two historical basketball organisations from the same city and has become one of the notable local matchups in the re-established Warrior Basketball League.
The club also maintains historical connections with Krava Wolves, another former participant in the original Warrior Basketball League. Their meetings reflect the continued basketball traditions of Rečnozemlja.
