“We are extremely happy to close this month of preseason in Carbonia, with two games against an opponent of great caliber such as Peristeri – stressed Dinamo Banco di Sardegna CEO Francesco Sardara -. We re-embrace a center that has a great hunger for basketball and sports culture, with state-of-the-art sports facilities, thus touching the island from north to south passing through the interior, in the sign of our philosophy as a team of all Sardinia. A long season of challenges in Italy and Europe awaits us and we are sure that the warmth of Carbonia will be the right fuel to approach the start of official commitments with great energy”.

A strategic showcase with positive effects in terms of return of image for Carbonia and with economic spin-offs also for some activitiesà that insist in the city”.

As for the opponent, Peristeri è a team that has gained credit within the Greek and international scene, thanks also to the arrival on the bench of former Olympiakos star player Vasilis Spanoulis, a true icon of European basketball. Interesting, competitive roster, in the control booth there&#rsquo;s a caliph like Joe Ragland who has crossed Dinamo’s path several times in the past, while Renfro and Hands were Banco’s opponents last season in Basketball Champions League with Paok. From AEK è came guard Kenny Williams, while in the long role there’s key Dangubic, last year at Promitheas. Peristeri è placed in Basketball Champions League Group A along with the Hungarians from Falco, the Spaniards from Malaga and the French del Les Mans.
