With the slogan “Sport has no limits”, a significant event, focused on sport and social contribution, is being organised, to showcase the power of determination and the importance of inclusion. The event seeks to promote wheelchair basketball within Cypriot society and to provide financial support to the teams representing the sport in Cyprus.

The event is held under the auspices of the Minister of Education, Sport and Youth, Dr Athena Michaelidou. With meaningful involvement in this initiative, XM is supporting the effort to promote equal opportunities and accessibility in sport. Its contribution extends beyond financial support — it forms part of a strategic commitment to strengthening parasport in Cyprus, offering opportunities for growth and development to both athletes and teams.

Wheelchair basketball is a dynamic and demanding sport in which athletes with mobility impairments compete with speed, technique and determination, using specially-designed sports wheelchairs. Despite rule adaptations, the dynamism and strategic depth of traditional basketball are preserved, delivering a unique spectacle that inspires admiration and awe.

The public is invited to attend and experience this exceptional sport first-hand, to support the athletes and to contribute actively to strengthening the teams and fostering an inclusive sporting culture. Public attendance serves as a message of unity and recognition of the strength and contribution of these athletes.

Admission to the event is free, while all proceeds from sponsorships will be allocated through the Cyprus Basketball Federation to support wheelchair basketball teams.

The event is organised by AHEPA (American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association), the historic Greek-American educational and progressive organisation, in collaboration with the Wheelchair Basketball Committee of the Cyprus Basketball Federation (CBF).

AHEPA Cyprus Chapter CY004 “Photos Photiades” of Idalion wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all sponsors and supporters of the event; their contribution is a cornerstone for the continuation of such socially and athletically significant initiatives.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 3pm at the “Kostas Papaellinas” Indoor Arena of Keravnos Strovolou.
