More Than a Game: €10,100 Raised for The Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society
While the industry continues to reshuffle, today the focus shifts from disruptive AI, tightening regulations and executive moves to top-spin volleys, wall rebounds and philanthropic impact.
Organised by platform provider Spotware Systems, the tournament unites leading brokerage houses, liquidity providers, RegTech firms and ecosystem partners for a full day of high-spirited competition.
The tournament pairs corporate networking with high-impact corporate social responsibility: 100% of team contributions and entry fees, which amounted to €10,100, will go directly to the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society, supporting its vital work providing free, specialized palliative care and support services to patients and families across Cyprus.
Emily Violari from the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society talks to Finance Magnates.
“We wanted this to feel different from another industry event,” said Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO of Spotware Systems. “Let’s get everyone onto the court and do something good together. Brokers, partners, friends – everyone who joins will contribute directly to helping those who need it most. We want to show what our industry can do when we gather for a meaningful cause.”
The Tournament Structure
Hosted across the courts at NAIS Sports Club in Limassol, the competition features two-player company squads competing across group fixtures before heading into the knockout rounds.
A total of 16 squads (a company can have more than one squad) will be battling not only for bragging rights and the champion’s cup, but also for special awards, tech prizes, and recovery packages supported by event sponsors including Adidas, Dunlop, Padel Planet, Sanctum Spa & Fitness, and KARMA Water Purification.
