On the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day (April 2), PAOK BC, in the context of the game against Karditsa Iaponiki on Saturday, April 4, 2026, is organizing, in collaboration with Stoiximan, a special inclusion initiative at the PAOK Sports Arena, sending a strong message of acceptance, respect, and equal participation.
A total of 30 athletes from the PAOK Special Team and the Volos Red Special Team will take part in this event.
Before tip-off, the athletes from both teams will gather at center court for a presentation, while the event will continue at halftime with their participation in interactive challenges alongside their coaches.
We are confident that our fans will embrace this initiative with sensitivity and respect, helping to create a truly welcoming environment for all. For this reason, we kindly ask them to refrain from applause and loud cheering during the activity. Instead, let us all raise our hands and form a big “circle of inclusion.”
On the court, as in life, everyone has a place in the game.
Sport unites, includes, and makes us all one team.
