The winners of the fourth edition of the Alexandrion Trophies<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alexandrion Foundation is organising the Alexandrion Trophies Gala for the fifth consecutive year. The distinctions are awarded annually by the Alexandrion Foundation after consultation with representatives of more than 20 sports newsrooms in Romania, as well as with competent public institutions.<\/p>\n

The distinctions and financial rewards presented at the event are dedicated to athletes who achieved outstanding performances in 2019, and they are the only initiative of this kind organised and funded entirely by a private entity. The awards ceremony, during which the 10 trophies will be presented, will take place on 5 February 2020 in Bucharest, in the presence of more than 300 guests. In addition, the gala presents “Hope” trophies, dedicated to young athletes, special awards and the Alexandrion lifetime achievement trophy.<\/p>\n

In choosing the winners, account is taken of the national and international achievements of the athletes in the year just ended. In previous editions, 76 trophies have already been awarded.<\/p>\n

Cycling, water polo and tennis are also among the sports the Foundation supports. Football, handball and rugby teams have not been forgotten either, and benefit from the Foundation’s support.<\/p>\n

The Alexandrion Trophies are, in fact, a natural continuation of the Alexandrion Foundation’s efforts to support Romanian sport. For years, the Alexandrion Foundation has supported not only sports teams but also the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, at three Olympic Games (Athens, London and Beijing). The Foundation has supported both handball teams (U Alexandrion Cluj and CSA Steaua Alexandrion) and football teams (Universitatea Craiova, CSM Politehnica Ia\u0219i, ASU Politehnica Timi\u0219oara, Petrolul Ploie\u0219ti, Universitatea Cluj, Unirea Urziceni, Steaua Bucure\u0219ti, Concordia Chiajna, Dinamo Bucure\u0219ti and Metaloglobus Bucure\u0219ti). The Alexandrion Foundation also supports other sports such as golf, rugby, cycling, boxing, polo and tennis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
