The company group Grigeo Group, which places great emphasis on sports, has extended its partnership with the strongest women’s basketball club in Lithuania, Vilnius Kibirkštis. Thanks to this collaboration, support will continue not only for the growth of women’s basketball in the capital but also across the country, promoting the development of girls sports and encouraging the brightest young Lithuanian talents.

We want to make our name known not only through victories in Lithuania and Europe but also through attention to youth. We are the leaders of women’s basketball in the country, so we must be the beacon whose light shows the way in sports to all young Lithuanian basketball players. The three-year partnership with Grigeo Group makes this vision a reality.” says E. Jucevičiūtė.
