Elpides Florinas

Who we are

Elpideds Florinas is a sports academy based in Florina, Northern Greece, with 20 years of experience in sports, youth development and community engagement. Founded in 2007, our organisation has grown into an active community supporting children, young people and adults through sports, education and social participation.

With five coaches, three sports facilities and activities across six different levels, including an adult team, we provide opportunities for people of different ages and backgrounds to participate in sport, develop their abilities and become active members of their community.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to empower young people through sports, promote equality and social inclusion, and create opportunities for personal growth, cultural awareness and active citizenship.

As an organization located in a rural and geographically less accessible region of Greece, we are particularly committed to ensuring that young people have access to opportunities that may otherwise be limited by their location or circumstances.
