EEC and Eurobank have concluded a successful two-year partnership

Cooperation between the EEC and The Eurobank ended after two decades of successful cooperation. The EWG announced the completion of the collaboration between them, a collaboration that was an absolute success and created strong ties between the two sides.

The Eurobank is no longer the central sponsor of the national basketball teams, which under the conditions at that time led to the end of this form of cooperation, which had been the longest in Europe.

The EEC notification in detail:

“A coexisting relationship that has transcended the bounds of simple cooperation and the duration of two decades is coming full circle.

The Eurobank Group will no longer be the main sponsor of the national basketball teams, although the conditions at that time led to the end of this form of cooperation, which was the longest in Europe, but not the close ties between the two sides. It goes without saying that a 21-year stint together, which has included two of the sport’s biggest successes in the country, in 2005 and 2006, creates indelible memories.

Both the formal end and the permanent ties between the two sides were sealed today (9/2) at the meeting held at the banking group’s headquarters, where the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eurobank, Mr George Zanias, addressed the The CEO of the Bank, Mr. Fokion Karavias, Vice-Chairman of the Board, Mr. Stavros Ioannou, and Director-General for Marketing and Corporate Communications, Mr. Michalis Vlastarakis, welcomed the EEC delegation, composed of the President of the Federation, Mr. Vangelis Liolonos, and Director-General Liotinos. .

The President of the EEC made the following statement after the end of the meeting and the handing over of some symbolic gifts: “We met today with people who have a record of being friends and supporters of Greek basketball and we feel we have not said , Because the relationship that has developed goes well beyond a simple sponsorship, it is one that will enshrine forever. Life moves on quickly as conditions change just as quickly and we all have to adapt. An important chapter in the history of Greek basketball has closed, but it will certainly not be forgotten. On the other hand, this cooperation will serve us as a guide for the future of the Hellenic Federation and it will be a hopeful project to build such strong and sincere relationships in the future. As representatives of today’s federation, we thank the Eurobank Group from the bottom of our hearts for what they have offered to Greek basketball.

Noting the strong ties the bank has with Greek basketball, Eurobank CEO Mr. Fokion Karavias stressed: We are happy and proud to spread #pantadipla to the players, coaches, team staff and the Hellenic Basketball Federation to all to have found great successes that have brought them to Greece. In Eurobasket 2005, in Mud Basketball 2006, in Eurobasket 2009, together on the highest peaks, together on the most difficult days. We would like to complete this cycle after 21 years and wish that the national team will always be the favorite of the Greek fans, bring medals, raise our flag and make all Greeks proud and always represent the sporting ethos and the Olympic spirit in the home country. “The people of the Eurobank will always be in their stands.”
