For the majority, the only thing between a basketball game and us is the proper mood, exhaustion, the lack of company or time. For someone on a wheel chair preconditions are many more and sometimes inaccessible…
Life Motion and Ifestos sports club in Limassol decided that we should see sports in a different view, through the eyes of a person seated, when the rest of us enjoy the privilege to stand and use all of our limbs.

On Sunday, October 16th, a new institution makes its appearance in Limassol. In Phytideio Stadium (GSO) a basketball game on wheel chairs challenges us to give it a shot! Along with the Mayor of Limassol, well known athletes, actors and other public personas we will shoot a basketball while sitting on a wheel chair.

The event aims to highlight the fact that sports for people with disabilities should be considered a right, not a luxury. On Sunday, Life Motion and Ifestos sports club want to prove that people with disabilities can lift weights, do archery, water sports, cycling.

On the highlight of the event, the honourable award to paraolympic medal winners Antonis Aresti and Karolina Pelendritou, is the ultimate proof that only beautiful things come out from supporting everyone’s rights to sports.

Αt 3 pm on Sunday October 16th, at Fytideio Stadium!
