CSKA and the Euroleague will protect our fans who suffered damage from Express Holidays

CSKA and the Euroleague had urgent meeting concerning the conflict on CSKA fans accomodation in Madrid hotels provided by greek company Express Holidays. During the meeting the sides discussed the ways to solve this problem.

Andrei Vatutin, PBC CSKA CEO:

- Express Holidays unilatteraly violated the agreement with the Euroleague and the Final Four participants just before the arrival of the fans to Madrid by changing hotels chosen and approved by the clubs to the hotels placed outside of the city. Pinned down to facts we were limited by the ways of solving the problem. We made Express Holidays to provide free transfers for the fans from their hotels to Madrid. We continue to do our best to fix the problem and we are looking forward to claim Express Holidays to refund all the losses of our fans after the Final Four.

Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague CEO:

- Euroleague Basketball is disappointed with the service Express Holidays is offering CSKA Moscow fans, because it has not accomplished the previous commitments agreed with us concerning the accomodation criteria of the team fans.

Euroleague Basketball together with the CSKA management have tried to solve some problems, but I would like to express my apologies to all the fans for all the inconvenients that they have suffered as consequence of Express Holidays management and hope they enjoy the sports event.
