I am delighted to support the candidacy of Palaio Faliro for the title of European City of Sport 2027, within the framework of ACES Europe.
Congratulations are due to the Mayor of Palaio Faliro, Giannis Fostiropoulos, and to the entire municipal authority for the systematic work they have done in recent years, highlighting sport as a key pillar of the city’s quality of life and outward-looking character.
As someone who lives and is politically active in the Southern Sector of Athens, I know this effort first-hand. Palaio Faliro has made the best possible use of its seafront, creating more opportunities for sport and wellbeing for people of all ages.
I wish the candidacy every success, and I am optimistic that the international committee will recognise this important effort by awarding Palaio Faliro a distinction it truly deserves.
