The EuroLeague Players Association (ELPA) is proud to announce the second edition of ELPA OVERTIME, the exclusive Final Four party, taking place on 23 May in Athens, Greece.
Following the success of last year’s edition in Abu Dhabi, ELPA OVERTIME returns bigger and better, once again bringing together current and former players, coaches, executives, partners and members of the wider basketball community for a special night during the EuroLeague’s biggest weekend.
Co-organized with Winners Alliance, ELPA OVERTIME will celebrate the EuroLeague Final Four in one of the sport’s most historic cities. The event reflects ELPA’s ongoing commitment to strengthening connections across the basketball world while creating meaningful moments around the game.
“ELPA OVERTIME continues to grow, thanks to the incredible support of our partners and sponsors Panini and Freenow by Lyft”, said the ELPA Managing Director Bostjan Nachbar. “We are grateful for their trust, which allows us to elevate this event and make it a special experience for players, their families and for other personalities involved in global basketball. Our partners’ contribution is essential in bringing the basketball community together and creating memorable moments beyond the game.”
As an invite-only gathering, ELPA OVERTIME will again add to the unique energy and prestige of the evening, and the Final Four weekend as a whole.
Further details regarding the event will be shared with invited guests in due course.
