It will help us a lot to win the UNICEF Trophy to continue promoting sports and culture“, said the coach of the Megara team, Giorgos Mantalos.

For the “blue-and-reds”, the 75-57 victory they achieved in the first round of the Errikos Dunan Elite League in Nea Smyrni against tonight’s opponents is a guide. “We have done half the work. The time for rest and preparation is short, but I am sure that we will prepare and present ourselves properly in the grand final“, stressed the coach of Historikos, Aris Lykogiannis.
