"I am very glad that in this difficult period, when the world is hit by a virus pandemic, Huawei has
trusted our ideas and is once again contributing to Lithuanian basketball, paying great attention to
young people and women.

Even more fun, when the partners come back to us again, we had a close cooperation with this
company, we carried out Huawei Cup tournaments and social projects for men's teams. Their return
shows that that cooperation lived up to their expectations and we will be able to continue working
for the benefit of basketball, ”said Arvydas Sabonis, President of the Lithuanian Basketball
Federation.
