The president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez opened the event having on his side the EuroLeague’s CEO Jordi Bertomeu, Stephen Ortega from Harvard University and the former football legend Christian Karembeu. The French star who has also played for Real Madrid in the past, represented the football section of Olympiacos, which started the initiative of the Athens Principles in collaboration with the Harvard University.
Real Madrid joined other EuroLeague clubs as Olympiacos and Barcelona in the objective of reinforcing, crossing and transcending borders with sports as a medium. Fenerbahce was also present at the event and is expected to join the initiative.
