We share core values such as professionalism, consistency and dedication to delivering a top-level fan experience. We look forward to supporting the club and wish them a successful season.”

The partnership also aims to deepen community engagement, strengthening Betsson’s presence in Greece while supporting local initiatives that promote unity through sport.

Club Focuses on Community and Identity
Peristeri Betsson BC’s General Manager, Manos Kotsis, outlined the club’s plans under the new partnership. “We are now officially Peristeri Betsson and this will continue for the next two years,” he said. “Our strategy has two main pillars: reconnecting with our local community to bring fans back to the arena and reinforcing Peristeri’s identity as a club dedicated to talent development, both locally and internationally.”

Kotsis noted the progress made in recent years and emphasized that the partnership with Betsson provides added support and confidence to achieve these goals.
