The ATP has confirmed that its ATP 250 event, previously held in Belgrade, Serbia, will move to Athens, Greece this year. The tournament is scheduled to take place from 2 to 8 November, marking a notable shift for the fall indoor tennis season.
OAKA Basketball Arena chosen for prestigious competition
Athens’ OAKA Basketball Arena will serve as the new stage for the tournament. Known for hosting events such as the 2004 Olympics and the Eurovision Song Contest, the multi-purpose venue will be adapted for professional tennis on indoor hard courts, offering a modern and dynamic setting for athletes and spectators alike.
Experienced organizers aim for world-class production
The team responsible for organizing nine previous international events in Belgrade will helm the transition to Greece. With preparations well underway, they aim to deliver an elite competition while tapping into the rich cultural backdrop of Athens. This move builds on their existing success, expanding the tournament’s reach and influence.
Greece prepares to welcome global tennis community
Athens is set to open its arms to players, fans, and media from across the tennis world. Organizers have expressed excitement at hosting the event in a city known for its historical significance and vibrant energy. The ATP 250 Hellenic Championship promises to be a highlight in the late-season calendar, blending high-level sport with Greek hospitality.
