EKO supports athletics for the 5th consecutive year

EKO announces the continuation of its strategic partnership with the Cyprus Amateur Athletic Association (KOEAS), as the Title Sponsor of the 5th EKO Cyprus International Athletics Meeting, which will take place on May 29, 2026, at the Tsirio Stadium in Limassol.

The press conference for the presentation of the event will be held on April 28 at 11:00, at the Olympic House Cyprus, marking the beginning of another dynamic year for the event.

Through this collaboration, EKO actively supports initiatives that promote the values of fair play, excellence, and perseverance, principles that are embodied authentically in sport.

This year’s event is expected to reach new heights, attracting internationally acclaimed athletes and generating strong interest from both the Cypriot and international sporting community. Among those set to compete at Tsirio Stadium are Olympic gold medalist, World Champion and European Champion in long jump, Miltiadis Tentoglou, as well as Emmanouil Karalis, Olympic bronze medalist and this year’s World Indoor silver medalist and European Indoor Champion in pole vault.

For yet another year, the EKO name will be integrated into the identity of the event, while its logo will be featured across all promotional materials, athletes’ bib numbers, as well as television and digital coverage, enhancing the company’s visibility both in Cyprus and internationally.

EKO’s Head of Marketing, Ms. Marina Tziakouri, stated:

“The EKO Cyprus International Athletics Meeting reflects the potential of Cypriot sport when driven by consistency, collaboration, and vision. For EKO, supporting such events is a conscious choice, as they contribute meaningfully to the development of talent and the strengthening of our country’s international presence. We remain committed to this effort, investing in initiatives that create value for society.”

EKO invites the public to support the event and attend in person to cheer on athletes who represent the values of effort, integrity, and dedication.

About HELLENiQ ENERGY

HELLENiQ ENERGY is one of the leading integrated energy groups in Southeastern Europe. It was founded in 1998 as Hellenic Petroleum, with a history that traces back to the first refinery in Greece, established in 1958. Today, it is the largest company in the country and one of the most important in Southeastern Europe in terms of annual revenues. By consistently implementing an ambitious transformation strategy, the Group has emerged as a regional leader in the energy sector, with a presence in 8 countries and continuously expanding international activities.

HELLENiQ ENERGY operates in the production, supply, and trading of all forms of energy, increasingly focusing on new, cleaner energy solutions and Renewable Energy Sources. Its portfolio includes refining, supply and trading of liquid fuels and petrochemical products, hydrocarbon exploration and production, and fuel marketing, while at the same time rapidly expanding its footprint in the renewables sector.

A strategic pillar for HELLENiQ ENERGY is the development of a fully integrated “green” utility. In this direction lies Enerwave — the new name of Elpedison — the company responsible for electricity and natural gas production and supply in Greece.

The new business unit will produce and directly supply the Greek market with electricity, primarily from renewable sources, strengthening the Group’s commitment to a fair, affordable, and secure energy transition.

At the core of HELLENiQ ENERGY’s strategy is the development of its human capital, with the goal of being an employer of choice in the countries where it operates. At the same time, Corporate Responsibility remains one of its key operational pillars, through which the Group designs and implements multifaceted programs to support the younger generation and society at large, positively impacting more than 2 million people every year on an international scale.
