A particularly honorable event for Cypriot amateur basketball will take place next week, concerning the Winter Championship team that participated in the 17th World Maxibasketball Championship last summer in Switzerland.
Specifically, all members of the mission that represented Cyprus in this competition will be honored at a special event, which will be held on Thursday, December 4, at 10:00 a.m. at the central offices of the Cyprus Sports Organisation (CSO/KOA) in Nicosia.
