Eurohoops: 10 years - one language, basketball (VIDEO)
2022-03-08T12:41:00+00:00 2022-03-08T12:41:00+00:00 2022-03-08T12:41:00+00:00. Eurohoops.net Kostas Ioakimidis
Today Eurohoops celebrates its 10th anniversary! Ten years of a unique journey with one goal: to spread the passion for basketball.
On March 3, 2012, exactly 10 years ago, a group of five journalists: Nikos Varlas, Aris Barkas, Lefteris Mutis, Niki Bakuli and Rigas Dardalis started a project to create a specialized basketball site.
Their goal was to create a media outlet that embraced the sport and promoted the principles of love for the game. Eurohoops started out as a bilingual website with opinion pieces on European and global basketball. He soon managed to win the trust of online readers in Greece and Europe.
Having established itself as the premier source of quality coverage for the Euroleague, in 2015 it expanded to six different language publications, expanding not only its journalistic team but also its subject matter. In just three years of operation, Eurohoops.net has become the official global media partner of the Euroleague, Europe's leading basketball tournament. However, his growth did not stop there..
Since 2016, his activities began to go beyond the journalistic content. AntetokounBros Events became the starting point for a new field: the organization of sports events. Giannis, Thanasis and the whole Antetokounbo family threw a basketball party with the help of Eurohoops.
The next year 2017 was a turning point for Eurohoops as the Eurohoops Academy was founded and found its home in the Eurohoops Dome. The creation of the Eurohoops Academy by Euroleague legends and Academy directors Thodoris Papaloukas and Dimitris Diamantidis created a unique basketball center. The Eurohoops Academy offers a full range of basketball activities: personalized training programs, basketball camps, visits of outstanding athletes, events on and off the court. Eurohoops Dome is an indoor training facility with three FIBA-approved basketball courts, state-of-the-art equipment, a café and a boutique for all tastes. However, Eurohoops Dome was created not just as a modern basketball complex, but as a place of multifaceted education and useful entertainment.
The huge success of AntetokounBros Events 2016 was repeated in the summer of 2017. The "golden generation" of Greek basketball played against Giannis, Thanasis and their friends in the iconic Nik Galis Hall at the Athens Olympic Complex.
It was an unforgettable night in a packed gym. The Eurohoops Events team has created a unique basketball celebration with a message chosen by Giannis Antetokounmpo: "We are all brothers".
This resounding success has made the organization of sporting events one of the main activities of Eurohoops. At the same time, Eurohoops.net started a partnership with the FIBA Basketball Champions League.
In 2019, the activities of the Eurohoops Academy were expanded to the center of Athens. The partnership with the Lyceum Leonina in the Athens district of Patissia has set a new goal: the emergence of young talented athletes. At the same time, Eurohoops took over the implementation of the AntetokounBros Academy program. The vision of the Antetokounbo brothers and Eurohoops is to inspire boys and girls from marginalized social groups through basketball.
In April and May of the same year, Eurohoops Dome hosted the Euroleague Academy U-12 Tournament, where young athletes were able to prove themselves at the highest level of European basketball.
Also, the Eurohoops team organized a unique sporting event for the opening of the multifunctional field "Park of Colors" in the Greek city of Larisa.
In June, Eurohoops took a trip back in time with the "We Live the Dream Again" event at The Mall Athens. It was a tribute to the 2006 World Cup National Team, the only team to defeat Team USA under coach Mike Krzyzewski.
However, 3×3 GalisBasketball has become the highlight of 2019 sporting events. The Greek islands of Rhodes and Kos honored Hellenic Hall of Famer Nik Galis in an exciting 3x3 tournament that featured hundreds of young athletes and high-profile guests.
In 2021, Eurohoops introduced its own scouting service. Eurohoops Scouting provides NCAA coaches with a thorough analysis of European talent, saving them time and resources.
Eurohoops has also brought together sport, social solidarity and environmental vigilance in a unique way with innovative sporting events. Dozens of boys and girls played basketball and became eco-activists at the Basketball Tournament 3x3 EcoFest 2021.
