Basketball games continues cross the border

CB Basket III strengthens cross-border relations and fosters cooperation between neighboring communities in Hungary and Serbia. It promotes team spirit, fair play, and respect while encouraging extracurricular activities beyond sports, such as healthy diet, lifestyles and equal opportunities. The project enhances youth exchanges between basketball organizations in Subotica and Hódmezővásárhely. Basketball events unite youth, families, teachers, and authorities, encouraging people-to-people crossborder cooperation. By promoting social issues alongside sports, CB Basket III builds a sense of community and broader engagement.
