Greek gaming operator OPAP has entered into a partnership with the Hellenic Basketball Federation (EEC). Under the three-year deal, OPAP will serve as a Gold Sponsor of Greece’s national men’s and women’s basketball teams across all age groups.

The corporate OPAP brand will be displayed on the front of the official appearances of all National Teams. At the same time, OPAP and the EEC will focus on joint actions concerning the development of Greek basketball, the development of women’s basketball, the Greek Cup, 3-on-3 basketball and the direct connection of the sport with society.

“Undoubtedly, OPAP is the biggest supporter of Greek sports. In fact, sports are part of our DNA. Basketball is no exception, as OPAP has given the ‘present’ in many historical moments for the sport in Greece. Today, our connection to basketball is becoming even stronger. As the Gold Sponsor of the Federation, OPAP will proudly stand by the side of the National Teams, at all levels, inside and outside the stands,” Jan Karas, CEO of OPAP, said.

“Our goal is to help Greek basketball to remain in the elite of the sport internationally. At the same time, our ambition is for this collaboration to go beyond the narrow confines of a sponsorship relationship. OPAP is a company with an active presence throughout the country, as well as the ‘champion’ of the social offer. We are therefore very happy that the EEC and the National Teams will embrace our social initiatives – and especially those concerning the younger generation,” Odysseas Christoforou, Deputy CEO of OPAP, said.

“Together with OPAP and the strategic cooperation that we are launching today, the goal is to give impetus to the development of basketball throughout the country, at all ages, to all those currently involved and many more that we will bring close to basketball. Together we want to celebrate the next important successes of our National Teams. In addition, OPAP is a company that places great emphasis on social contribution and there we found another element that we fit,” Vangelis Liolios, President of the Hellenic Basketball Federation, said.

“The Hellenic Basketball Federation and OPAP will go together from now on. OPAP, which has always been the main supporter and blood donor of Greek sports, becomes the new teammate of the National Teams and of Greek basketball as a whole. The common goal of the EEC and OPAP is the combination of sports development with the social contribution,” Annie Konstantinidou, Member of the Board of Hellenic Basketball Federation, said.
