Libertex and Apollon Wheelchair Basketball Team: Teamwork, Respect, and Resilience

As part of its ongoing commitment to inclusion, community empowerment, and local sports, we at Libertex had the privilege of visiting the Apollon Wheelchair Basketball Team during a special training session held on the team's home court. This meaningful initiative marked another chapter in the partnership between us and the parasports team, which spans more than two years.

The day offered a unique and interactive experience for us as employees. We had the opportunity to watch the team's inspiring training up close and connect directly with the athletes. After the session, the Apollon players invited us to join them on the court for a hands-on introduction to wheelchair basketball. A friendly hoop-shooting competition brought fun, lighthearted energy to the day, which ended with a casual meal shared by everyone.

At Libertex, we believe true excellence lies in the determination to keep pushing forward no matter the challenge. The Apollon Wheelchair Basketball Team reflects the very values that drive us: resilience, precision, and the relentless pursuit of performance. Supporting them goes beyond sport; it's about standing behind individuals who redefine what's possible every day. This partnership is a testament to our dedication to community, inclusion, and ambition — core elements of the Libertex ethos.

Diversity, accessibility, and mutual respect

Based in Limassol, where we are also headquartered, the Apollon Wheelchair Basketball Team stands as a powerful symbol of courage, teamwork, and determination. Through this enduring partnership, we continue to promote diversity, accessibility, and mutual respect. Our recent visit not only deepened the connection between us and the team but also gave us a meaningful opportunity to step outside our everyday roles, gain new perspectives, and engage with a group that truly embodies resilience and sportsmanship. We're proud to support the Apollon team and deeply thankful for the opportunity to connect with them in such an uplifting and hands-on way.
