The Jubilee also included a FIBA Festival All-Star Game, which was divided up into a Balkans versus the rest of Europe format. The Balkans won the all-star game, which took place on 8 June 1991, by a score of 103–102. The tournament is not counted officially with the other 27 Acropolis International Tournaments, because it was not solely organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation.
