Football fans in Cyprus were treated to a unique encounter with the iconic UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League trophies, thanks to a special event held by Stoiximan — Official Sponsor of the two top competitions — under the auspices of UEFA, at the Mall of Cyprus on February 20, 2025.
The event was held in a convivial atmosphere, attracting hundreds of attendees, who had the chance to admire the two iconic trophies up close. The trophies are symbols of the passion and dedication of European teams competing for top honours at club level.
At the unveiling of the trophies, Stoiximan Commercial Director Konstantinos Diorelis reaffirmed the online betting platform’s commitment to fans. “We are pledged, as Stoiximan, to continue to offer such experiences to the Cypriot fan community,” he said, adding that: “our wholehearted good luck wishes go to the three Cypriot teams competing in the Conference League tonight.”
For his part, Stoichiman’s Country Manager for Cyprus Angelos Chontoulidis, linked the platform’s sponsorship of European football with efforts to give back to the island’s fans of the game.
“We were particularly fortunate with Cyprus being represented in the Conference League play-offs by three teams,” he noted. “Stoiximan now sponsors both the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League, and, when the opportunity arose, we made every effort to host these trophies in Nicosia. Our aim was, on the one hand, to bring our fans closer to the sport they love and, on the other, to give back to Cyprus, a country that has embraced us from the very first moment.”
National Betting Authority President Panagiotis Trisokkas, in his own address, emphasised the prestige of the occasion. “It is a great honour for our country to host the two European trophies,” he said. “We would like to thank Stoiximan, which, after Greece, brought the trophies to Cyprus, giving all of us who love sport the opportunity to see them in person.”
Stoiximan social contribution
The event was not only limited to football, but also highlighted the social dimension of Stoiximan, which keeps corporate social responsibility at the heart of its activities. The betting platform handed over cheques to the “Apostolos Pavlos Special Centre” and “Agios Christoforos Centre of Offer and Love” foundations, supporting their valuable work.
The cheques were received by “Apostolos Pavlos Special Centre” Director Maria Kazaka, and “Centre of Offer and Love Agios Christoforos” Board of Directors Member Georgios Kyprianou.
The event concluded with an entertainment programme, with visitors enjoying the uniqueness of the occasion by posing for photographs alongside the trophies.
Through initiative such as these, Stoiximan once again affirms its commitment to supporting sport and offering value to society, strengthening both the spirit of fandom and contributing to social solidarity.
