Euroleague One Team

One Team, Euroleague Basketball's corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, supported by Turkish Airlines as the One Team Founding Patron and with the collaboration of Special Olympics as Proud Partner, uses basketball to achieve real social impact in our communities. With an innovative model of interconnectedness across an entire continent, Euroleague Basketball and its clubs have developed a complete CSR program that brings together activities from each team in an integrated, impactful way, working under the theme of "community integration" that actively addresses targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10 on Reduced Inequalities. Each participating club develops a specific One Team project tailored to its own community needs to benefit groups in danger of exclusion due to problems such as substance abuse, gender equality, physical or intellectual disability. Since its founding in 2012, the One Team program has reached already directly and indirectly more than 25,000 participants, involved 76 EuroLeague and EuroCup clubs and 342 Ambassadors through its various projects.
