Direct peers

• Foot Locker: Global athletic footwear and apparel retailer with a Greek store and e-commerce footprint. Directly comparable on athletic footwear (Nike, adidas, Puma, New Balance) and on the youth/streetwear consumer segment that overlaps with Cosmos Sport.
• JD Sports: Leading global sports-fashion retailer with growing presence in Greece. Directly comparable in multi-brand athletic footwear/apparel assortment and in the same target demographic (sneaker/fashion-led sports consumers), increasingly competing head-to-head in Greek high streets and online.
• Sport Vision: Regional multi-brand sporting goods retailer with a strong Southeastern European footprint including Greece. Comparable in store-and-online sporting goods retail and in carrying the same global athletic brands as Cosmos Sport.
• INTERSPORT Cyprus: Operating in Cyprus alongside Cosmos Sport's Cyprus site (cosmossport.cy). Direct competitor in the same geographic market with the same global brand assortment and a comparable multi-store footprint, making it the most relevant local peer for the Cyprus business.
• Intersport: Global multi-brand sporting goods retailer with significant Greek market presence. Directly comparable to Cosmos Sport in assortment, omnichannel model (stores + e-commerce), and target customer base of athletes, families, and casual sports consumers.

Regional players

• Sneaker10: Greece-based multi-brand athletic footwear and apparel retailer. Closest direct domestic competitor to Cosmos Sport with overlapping brand portfolio (Nike, adidas, Puma) and similar store + e-commerce model, making it a primary local benchmark.
• Stadium (Sweden): Nordic multi-brand sporting goods omnichannel retailer. Comparable as a multi-brand sporting goods chain with integrated e-commerce and loyalty mechanics, useful as a benchmark for European specialty sports retail unit economics even though it does not operate in Greece.
• Sprinter (Spain): Spanish sporting goods chain with growing omnichannel presence. Comparable as a Southern-European multi-brand sporting goods retailer with overlapping brand mix, providing a useful cross-market benchmark for store + e-commerce operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Decathlon: Global sporting goods retailer operating large-format stores and a strong e-commerce platform in Greece. Comparable as a multi-category sporting goods competitor with deep private-label assortment and competitive pricing pressure on Cosmos Sport's premium-brand-led model.
• Nike (Direct): Major supplier also operating an expanding DTC channel in Greece. Not a direct retail competitor in assortment breadth, but strategically relevant because Nike's DTC push directly affects Cosmos Sport's wholesale leverage, allocation, and ability to compete on premium product access.
