Eurobank leaves the position of the central sponsor of the EEC. The cooperation of the federation with the bank lasted for about two decades and the two sides, with the completion of the contract, parted amicably, as it appears from the statements … farewell.
The EEC Communication:
A coexistence relationship that went beyond the limits of simple cooperation and the duration of two decades, closes its cycle.
The Eurobank group will no longer be the main sponsor of the national basketball teams, with the conditions of the time leading to the end of this form of cooperation, which was the longest in Europe, but by no means the close ties between the two sides. It goes without saying that a common course of 21 years, which, among other things, was associated with two of the greatest successes of the sport in the country, in 2005 and 2006, creates indelible memories.
Both the formal end and the lasting ties between the two sides were sealed today (9/2) in the meeting that took place at the headquarters of the banking group, where the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eurobank Mr. George Zanias, the CEO of the Bank Mr. Fokion Karavias, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer Mr. Stavros Ioannou and the General Manager of Marketing and Corporate Communication Mr. Michalis Vlastarakis, welcomed the EEC delegation consisting of the President of the Federation, Mr. Vangelis Liolonos and the Director General Liotinos. .
The President of the EEC, after the end of the meeting and the delivery of some symbolic gifts, made the following statement: “We met today with people who are proven to be friends and supporters of Greek basketball and we feel that we did not say, since the relationship that has developed goes far beyond a simple sponsorship, it is a relationship that will be etched forever. Life goes on at a fast pace as conditions change just as fast and we all have to adapt. An important chapter in the history of Greek basketball has closed, but in no case will it be forgotten. We, on the other hand, will have this cooperation as a guide for the future of the Hellenic Federation and it will be a hopeful project to develop such strong and sincere ties in the future. Representing the Federation today, we thank from the bottom of our hearts the Eurobank group for what it has offered to Greek basketball».

The CEO of Eurobank, Mr. Fokion Karavias, referred to the strong ties that connect the Bank with Greek basketball, emphasizing: “The support of the National Basketball Team has been a benchmark for Eurobank for more than two decades. We are happy and proud to have found #pantadipla on the players, the coaches, the team staff and the Hellenic Basketball Federation in all the great successes they have brought to Greece. In the Eurobasket of 2005, in the Mud Basketball of 2006, in the Eurobasket of 2009, together on the highest peaks, together on the most difficult days. Completing this cycle after 21 years, we wish the National Team to always be the favorite of Greek fans, to bring medals, to raise our flag and to make all Greeks proud, always representing the athletic ethos and the Olympic spirit in the homeland of. The people of Eurobank will always be in its stands».
