Director of the Foundation “Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun” Dr. Sam Osmanagić visited the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina (OK BiH) in Sarajevo, on Wednesday, June 8, 2022. On that occasion, he spoke with the President of OK BIH Prof. Dr. Milanko Mučibabić, Secretary General of the OK BiH Dr. Said Fazlagić and Director of the Tennis Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina Senad Hadžimešić.
Osmanagić presented to the hosts the progress in the organization of two top sports events in Visoko from two Olympic sports, tennis and 3×3 basketball. The foundation, through its company ‘Bosanske piramide d.o.o.’, is financing the construction of a tennis stadium in the ‘Archaeological and Tourist Park Ravne 2’, and the opening ceremony is scheduled for July 13, 2022. Meetings of leading tennis players are expected.
The BiH Olympic Committee will take an active part in the event and have a permanent presence in future events at the stadium. The Tennis Association of BiH will use these courts as its Center for the preparation of top Bosnian tennis players and national teams. Also, the Association will provide the necessary staff such as chief and line judges, ball collectors and the like.
It has been agreed that young tennis players under the age of 12 will open this tennis spectacle on July 13 during the morning and afternoon matches of the national teams of Italy, BiH, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia. The main matches will be held in the late afternoon.
Representatives of the Olympic Committee also supported the holding of the second ‘NBA Star for Children without Parents’ tournament, which will be held the next day, July 14, 2022, at the basketball court in Aero Banja in the Ravne complex in Visoko.
And although these two umbrella organizations for sports and tennis cannot help the Foundation financially, they will still give them full legitimacy with their public support and presence, for these and future events. Members of the Presidency of these two organizations are expected to be present as guests at the Ravne complex.
During the photography session, it was shown the promotional film with aerial footage of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun.
