Poland pledges to be a good host

The government is going to do everything to make EuroBasket 2009 in Poland an organizational success.

This was the message conveyed by FIBA Europe President George Vassilakopoulos, Secretary General Nar Zanolin and Polish Basketball Federation President Roman Ludwiczuk at a press conference on Saturday in Warsaw. "We met with the Minister of Sports [Tomasz Lipiec] and he confirmed that his country will provide any financial support necessary," said Vassilakopoulos. Case in point is Lipiec's openness to the idea of a new state of the art arena in Warsaw. "Poland is a big country with a great history right in the center of Europe," explained the FIBA Europe President. "However Warsaw has no arena to host major sporting events. We asked the minister to consider the building of a modern arena in Warsaw and he accepted this request and promised to start with this project as soon as possible."
