I would like to thank SEGAS and of course the President, Mrs. Sofia Sakorafa for our very good cooperation, the Delegated Municipal Councilor for Sports Nikos Gemelos and all those who contributed to the success of the event. For the last ten years, Piraeus has been the center of sports events and in this direction we will continue to successfully organize top sports events”.
