On the occasion of the International Day against Racism, 30 children aged 15-18, refugees, and young people from the local community, sent their own message against discrimination through sport.

In a joint training session held in Kypseli, at the facilities of the Global Fighting Team and under the guidance of the distinguished athlete and boxing coach, Anastasia Pontika and her colleagues (Pontikanazarenko Team), the children proved through the sport of boxing that racism should have no place in life…

And they sent a message to all of us that through teamwork, fair play, team dynamics, and cooperation, we can live our lives together and not apart.

The action was carried out in the framework of “Together in Sport – Phase II”, in cooperation with the Hellenic Olympic Committee.
