Program description:
Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade this season is continuing to work with Special Olympics Serbia in its One Team program. As the Proud Partner of One Team, Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities providing year-round training and activities. The club is working with 15 to 20 athletes between the ages of 14 and 30, from January to April 2024. The main focus is to develop the potential of the participants with special needs, and create cohesion between the people with intellectual disabilities and people without any dysfunction. Apart from on-court activities, the club is also planning activities such as trips to the zoo and the chocolate museum, and meet-and-greet activities during the EuroLeague games. Stefan Lazarevic and Dalibor Ilic are supporting the program as the One Team Ambassadors.
