After winning the Greek Cup the women's PAOK Handball Club also won the Greek championship by defeating AEK 29:20 in third and deciding game to secure the title.

Caps off his brilliant 17 goal, 23 assist Championship winning season by being crowned MVP of the Belgian League. Bravo Christo, a big move is sure to come this summer.

Kyziridis gets his first call-up to the Ethniki for the upcoming friendlies against Sweden and Italy. He was part of the Hearts team that just fell short of clinching the Scottish Premier League title after losing to Celtic on the last day of the season. He and Androutsos (first call up in 5 years) are late replacements for Konstantelias and Karetas, who have pulled out of the squad. Full Squad Τερματοφύλακες: Βλαχοδήμος, Μανδάς, Τζολάκης Αμυντικοί: Μαυροπάνος, Χατζηδιάκος, Ρέτσος, Κουλιεράκης, Ντόη, Ρότα, Κυριακόπουλος, Βαγιαννίδης, Γιαννούλης, Τσιμίκας Μέσοι: Κοντούρης, Ζαφείρης, Τριάντης, Κουρμπέλης, Μουζακίτης, Ανδρούτσος Επιθετικοί: Κυζιρίδης, Τζόλης, Μασούρας, Παυλίδης, Δουβίκας, Τεττέη, Κωστούλας https://www.sport24.gr/football/ethniki-elladas-ektos-konstantelias-kai-karetsas-proti-gia-kiziridi-kai-epistrofi-androutsou/

Koulierakis was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga yesterday. VfL Wolfsburg lost 2-1 on aggregate against SC Paderborn 07. After the 0-0 in Wolfsburg the teams met in Paderborn and Wolfsburg took an very early lead but at 14' a player received his second yellow and the opponent took advantage of it. Could be the last game for Koulierakis in Wolfsburg. Tzolis was crowned Belgian champion with Club Brugge. He had a great season with 17 goals and 23 assists in the League.

Paraskevas Antzas died at the age of 49 of ALS. Antzas was crowned seven times champion of Greece. He played as a defender for Skoda Xanthi, Olympiakos, Doxa Drama, (again) Skoda Xanthi and a second stint at Olympiakos. He was capped 26 for the Ethniki.

Not according to transfermarkt. Ozdoev should be ok as a backup. Just need some solid starters in those positions. Meite has nagging injuries, and Zafiris gas been a major disappointment for the money we paid for him.

Good job. Bravo to the ladies of PAOK.

Olympiakos BC are European Champions for the 4th title in teams history. 92-85 win over Real Madrid. Final Four was played in Marousi, Greece. Olympiakos defeat defending Euroleague champs Fenerbache 79-61 in the semifinals 2 days ago.

A 2-0 win and therefore the double. Bravo, koritsia!

Of course they are, we definitely need a rapidly aging underperformer to stay on the bench. Doesn't Taison have a 1+1? I thought the two years was a sticking point for him.

Before signing anybody the team needs to clarify if we are keeping Lucescu as the coach. Next step should be a decision on which current players are staying and which are going. The following contracts expire on June 30, 2026 Vogliaco Lovren Baba Sastre Ozdoev Bianco Ivanusec Taison Giakoumakis Kedziora (automatic one year extension option) Meite (automatic one year extension option) BTW the team today announced that they are negotiating with Ozdoev for a contract extension.

This seems like it would be the kind of extremely uninspired choice we would make: https://www.transfermarkt.us/brayan-carabali/profil/spieler/652362 Here's another one from a few weeks ago that I missed, 18-year-old AM: https://inpaok.com/902695/syndeoun-paok-me-boitsef-stin-voulgaria/ https://www.transfermarkt.us/marto-boychev/profil/spieler/1084760

Tournament takes place from November 19th till December 13th 2026 in Qatar.

Looks like the Italy game is back on. They agreed not to bring the U21 team.

The 4 mil will go to Lucescu for breaking his contract with us. We'll have to come up with more money to hire a replacement.

U17 WC Group : 1. Qatar (Host) 2. Panama 3. Egypt 4 Greece

4mm for Lucescu 20 mm for Konstantelias use that $ to buy defenders and bring back Giakoumakis

I, too, liked Bianco. I also think we'd be dumb not to pay the 5 million for Giakoumakis. Rumors today that Besiktas is interested in paying the 4mm clause for Lucescu. Might be the right time to part ways. Shoretire's injury may take him through the end of the transfer window so he'll be on the roster in September - whether that means he actually makes the team, is another matter.
