Keravnos Strovolou celebrates 100th anniversary

On September 30, 2026, the Keravnos Strovolou sports club celebrated its 100th anniversary in an event attended by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides. The President praised the club’s historical significance, noting that it has transcended its origins in football and track and field to become a prominent presence in modern basketball and a pillar of social and cultural life in Cyprus, having participated in the nation's historical struggles.

During the ceremony, President Christodoulides announced a government grant of 50,000 euros dedicated to upgrading the facilities at the Costas Papaellinas sports center. He specifically commended club president Paris Papaellinas for his commitment to promoting ethics and sportsmanship among the younger generation.

Following the celebration, Paris Papaellinas announced his decision to step down from his position as president at the conclusion of the 2026-27 competitive season, coinciding with the end of the current Board of Directors' term. He assured attendees that his family would continue to support the club and that the succession process would proceed smoothly.
