The FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Organising Committee and Bank of Cyprus are joining forces and will move forward together on the road to the European Basketball Championship, the biggest sporting event ever hosted in our country.

FIBA EuroBasket 2025 is co-hosted by Cyprus, Latvia, Finland, and Poland, with the basketball action in our island taking place between August 28 and September 4, 2025, at the Spyros Kyprianou Arena in Limassol. Among the teams playing in Cyprus will be the National Team of Greece, featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo, as the Hellenic Basketball Federation has been selected as the partner federation by the organizers.

The collaboration between the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Organising Committee and Bank of Cyprus places the latter in the top tier of the event sponsors, as Main Event Sponsor, a tier that includes only four partners, each with exclusivity in their respective field.

Regarding the launch of this sponsorship partnership, the president of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Organizing Committee in Cyprus, Mark Klerides, stated: “Bank of Cyprus is the largest financial institution in our country and one of the key pillars of the country’s economy and society. Their willingness to support this historic moment of Cyprus in a meaningful and enthusiastic way confirms that corporate responsibility and social contribution are embedded in their DNA.

“We are delighted that the management of Bank of Cyprus has placed its trust in us, recognizing the importance of this event for the country as well as the value of being associated with global basketball stars. We are confident that the presence of Bank of Cyprus will be crucial in the national effort of the Organizing Committee and the Cyprus Basketball Federation, for the benefit of basketball, sports, and Cyprus as a whole”.

Panicos Nicolaou, CEO of Bank of Cyprus, stated about the cooperation: “We are thrilled to support the biggest sporting event ever hosted in our country. As the largest banking institution in Cyprus, we could not miss the opportunity to be part of the sponsorship team, strengthening the efforts of the Organising Committee and sports in general. Our participation in this historic moment demonstrates our commitment to supporting society and promoting the values of sports”.
