The renovation of "Spyros Kyprianou" Stadium in Limassol is progressing at a rapid pace in preparation for the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 tournament, set to take place next summer.

According to a press release, last Friday, Minister of Transport, Communications, and Works Alexis Vafeades, along with the Director-General of the Department of Public Works, Lefteris Eleftheriou, visited the stadium. They were accompanied by the President of the Cyprus Basketball Federation, Andreas Mouzourides, to receive a detailed update on the project's progress from the contractor and project engineers.

The project's lead engineering consultant informed the attendees that 60% of the renovation work has been completed and that all timelines are being strictly followed. This ensures that the stadium will be fully prepared to host Europe’s top basketball athletes in August 2025.
