The Great Sponsor of All National Teams and Eurobasket Women’s

EKO, a member of Helleniq Energy, announced the renewal and upgrading of its cooperation with the Hellenic Basketball Federation (EEC) which launched in 2015 and is already 11 years old. The announcement was made during a festive event in the presence of Deputy Minister of Sports, Mr. Yiannis Broutsis, the administration and executives of Helleniq Energy and EKO, the President of the National Basketball Federation, athletes and athletes.

The country’s leading fuel trading company, with the presence of many neighboring states, will remain the major sponsor of the national basketball teams for the coming years, proudly supporting the efforts of our athletes and athletes to be distinguished in international sporting events. In fact, EKO will be the sponsor of the final phase of the “Fiba Women’s Eurobasket 2025”, which will take place in June at the Peace and Friendship Stadium. Through this sponsorship, EKO emphasizes the importance it gives to the empowerment of women through sport and the enhancement of the promotion and recognition of women’s basketball in our country, but also internationally.

At the same time, it invests in the new generation of athletes consistently as a major sponsor of the blue -white stars development program. This initiative enables more than 15,000 children, from all over Greece, aged 11 to 13 years, to wear the official jersey of the National Basketball Team and to experience a unique experience with their participation in nationwide tournaments that cultivate their love for the sport.

Referring to the renewal of cooperation, Deputy Minister of Sports Mr. Yiannis Broutsis commented: “The balanced cooperation between sports and private sponsors creates an ecosystem in which sport is evolving and businesses enjoy multiple benefits from their participation. The presence of Helleniq Energy next to the Hellenic Basketball Federation is a guarantee of achieving higher goals in the sport that Greece loved like no other. We as a state support, as far as possible, by ensuring the conditions of their proper functioning, but we are looking for allies for a healthy, autonomous and developmental perspective.”

In his statements, Helleniq Energy and EKO Managing Director Mr. Andreas Siamis said: “After 11 years of substantial cooperation and co -operation with the Hellenic Basketball Federation, we are happy to continue together in the coming years. EKO, as a great sponsor of all national basketball teams, will again support the efforts of our athletes and athletes. The EKO logo in the national team jersey marks our continued commitment to support sports, Greek basketball, and any efforts to promote and promote our country abroad. In this context, I have the pleasure of announcing that we will be sponsors of the FIBA ​​Eurobasket of Women’s 2025, which will take place at the Peace and Friendship Stadium from June 18th to June 29th. We all wish to live great emotions that will raise Greece higher. This is also what the EEC’s “blue -white stars” initiative for children, which we have supported from the first moment, is seeking because it is an investment in our new generation of athletes and athletes, who, modeling our national teams, will seek to become tomorrow’s ambassadors of our values.”

For his part, EEC President Evangelos Liolios stressed: “A relationship that has not only endured, but has become even stronger over the years, will continue to exist in the future. It is a great joy, but also the honor for the Hellenic Basketball Federation that will continue to run with EKO, and Helleniq Energy. It is a powerful motivation for us that our vision, ambition, our authorities have inspired this powerful ally to continue trusting us. The plan for the constant progress and evolution of Greek basketball is based on values ​​that is faithfully followed by this great company for its own course. Greek basketball “grows” on many levels, strengthens its international prestige, works in depth, sees the fruits of the effort and expects the next even greater success. EKO has supported this effort in its entire range, from the future protagonists with the “blue -white stars” to the … central stage. This will continue to do by staying on the side of the national teams and we will all be there to enjoy and boast the results of this collaboration“
