It’s gonna be a slam dunk of an event

For the sixth year OPAP Cyprus and the Cyprus Basketball Federation is organising the basketball event All Star Day on Saturday.

Under the slogan, I play with rules, I drive with rules, the event is organised in support of road safety. Apart from top basketball players, Olympic Game winners and wheelchair basketball teams all set to play with the spirit of sportsmanship, there will also be world-famous acrobats who will try to break the Guinness World Record for the longest slam dunk.

The event will also offer a festive mood with music and dance, with the National Basketball cheerleaders. Local radio celebrities Memnos Sotirelis and George Roussos will also be present.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
