Currently, Amazon Athena does not support the XML file format. You may find the list of supported formats here: Supported SerDes and Data Formats - Amazon Athena

Since AWS Glue supports XML as an ETL input format (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-programming-etl-format.html), you may first convert your data from XML to JSON and then query the JSON data using Athena.
