Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia and Euroleague Basketball are delighted to announce a new partnership agreement that will promote greater opportunities in basketball for people with intellectual disabilities during the 2009-10 Euroleague season.

Several initiatives will be developed between the two organisations during the 2009-10 season, starting with two specially dedicated competition dates, on November 11-12 and November 25-26, during which Euroleague Basketball clubs, players, coaches and referees will actively join the "Special Olympics campaign".  From November 28 to December 6 Special Olympics will celebrate the 2009 European Basketball Week in which Euroleague will take part.

Special Olympics will also be present through a series of special events at Euroleague Basketball's signature event, the Final Four, in Paris from May 7 to 9, 2010.
