OTP Bank remains committed to supporting initiatives that drive community development, and this time, we proudly joined forces with the Moldova Open Challenger 50—the first men’s tennis tournament in Moldova to be included in the ATP Challenger Tour calendar.
This marks a historic milestone for our country, bringing world-class tennis, top-tier players, and real opportunities for Moldovan athletes. Thanks to our support, young local talents and passionate spectators had the chance to witness Moldova’s finest—Radu Albot and Ilie Snițari—compete live alongside renowned figures from the global tennis scene.
"Supporting the Moldova Open Challenger was one of the easiest decisions I’ve made. We embraced this sponsorship for the young athletes who live and breathe tennis, giving them the confidence to chase their dreams and work every day toward becoming great players. We are thrilled to be part of this premiere and to contribute to the future of Moldovan tennis," stated Bogdan Spuza, CEO of OTP Bank.
Through this sponsorship, OTP Bank—alongside the Moldovan Tennis Federation—is helping create a competitive environment, empowering Moldovan athletes with the opportunity to test their skills against some of the best in international tennis. At the same time, we reaffirm our commitment to initiatives that elevate Moldova’s presence on the global stage.
As a General Partner of the tournament, OTP Bank honored the winners’ achievements with authentic gifts designed to preserve their memories of Moldova and the excitement of the event. A hand-embroidered traditional shirt, complemented by carefully curated local products, forged a meaningful connection to our country’s rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality.
Held from May 26 to June 1 at the Arena Chisinau, the tournament marked a defining moment for Moldova, officially placing it on the ATP Challenger world circuit and enhancing its recognition in international sports. As the OTP Bank team, we take pride in supporting such a prestigious event, one that underscores our commitment to fostering excellence in sports and strengthening Moldova’s global presence.
