Following lessons learned from the ECOMMBX Cup test event earlier in August, additional measures have been introduced to ensure smoother access for spectators. Importantly, as in the test event, access to the fenced parking area of Spyros Kyprianou Arena will not be permitted without a special parking pass.

Limited On-Site Parking

The arena is accessible by a single road and offers just 450 parking spaces, all of which are reserved for FIBA officials, police, fire services, accredited guests, media, and people with disabilities (with valid permits).

To avoid congestion and ensure safe, easy access for all fans, alternative transport and parking arrangements have been designed. These services are free of charge for ticket holders, with costs covered by the organizing committee.

Park & Ride from Tsirio Stadium

The Park & Ride system from Tsirio Stadium will be available and strengthened for all 15 EuroBasket games. Shuttle buses will transfer fans to and from Spyros Kyprianou Arena.

• First departure: 2 hours and 20 minutes before tip-off

• Example: On August 28, ahead of Georgia vs. Spain (15:00), the first Park & Ride shuttle leaves Tsirio at 12:40.

• Return trips: After each game, additional buses will simultaneously depart Spyros Kyprianou back to Tsirio for vehicle pickup.

• Parking at Tsirio: Free of charge.

• Extra staff: Additional personnel will assist at shuttle stops and on buses for smoother organization.

Hop-On Hop-Off Shuttle Service

To complement Park & Ride, hop-on hop-off mini shuttles will operate from nearby parking areas, reducing walking distance to just 500 meters from the arena.

• Starting point: Diodorou Street

• Stops: Ioulianou, Afo­plismou, and Aggistis Streets

• Final stop: Argyri Gavala Street (500m from Spyros Kyprianou)

• Service frequency: Every ~10 minutes

• Start time: 90 minutes before each game

• Example: On August 28, for Georgia vs. Spain (15:00), the first shuttle departs Diodorou at 13:30.
