It gets easier as the supposed weaker teams drop from the Champions League to the Europa League. Like Górnik Zabrze from CL Q2 to EL Q3 and the likes of Borac Banja Luka and Vikingur from CL Q3 to EL PO.

Nothing surer than despite us being seeded, we will cop Besiktas. From memory the early qualifying rounds of the Europa League can throw up some tough match-ups. I feel like by the 3rd round and certainly the playoffs, those tougher teams have become seeded by virtue of eliminating their "seeded" opponents, so it gets easier.

Pafos won the Cypriot cup and will be seeded. SEEDED TEAMS Benfica Lisbon (POR) 90.000 Viktoria Plzen (CZE) 50.500 FC Midtjylland (DEN) 48.250 PAOK Thessaloniki (GRE) 48.250 Maccabi Tel Aviv (ISR) 32.500 Anderlecht Brussels (BEL) 30.750 Pafos (CYP) 24.125 - unknown (winner of Ferencvaros tie in Round 1) - unknown (winner of Qarabag tie in Round 1) UNSEEDED TEAMS Besiktas Istanbul (TUR) 15.500 Twente Enschede (NED) 13.585 Tromso IL (NOR) 8.247 FC Sankt Gallen (SUI) 6.940 Hammarby IF (SWE) 6.000 - unknown (winner of Dynamo Kiev tie in Round 1) - unknown (winner of Hajduk Split tie in Round 1) - unknown (winner of Sherif Tiraspol in Round 1) - unknown (winner of CSKA Sofia tie in Round 1)

We need close to 15 players in total and 7 starting 11 players too

Our pre-season training will once again take place in the land of Dutch Eagle. Apparently we will use the same facilities we did last summer. The dates mentioned are June 19 - July 13, 2026, which means the team will return to Thessaloniki approximately 10 days before our first Europa league match.

U21: Greece - Qatar 1:2 U19: Greece - Cyprus 2:0 Greece - england 1:2

I think Tzolis also was their league's player of the season

Amazingly Greece is ahead of both Sweden and Switzerland now...if we didn't care about there being an "easy" game, we'd want the Turks just to make up some more points on them. Of course, I'd prefer just qualifying.

Max Scnauzcner from PAOK B to Arka Gdynia (Poland). We have only some % resale. Will daddy Miroslav leave Greece too?

Every club receives about 10K a day for internationals at the WC. Starting the day they started their duties till the day of elimination. Last group matches are June 25th (Mexico/Sanchez) and June 27th (Ghana/Baba). So this means a minimum of about 600K for the both of them.

Second and last game of the post season against a very young Italian squad that needs rebuilding after missing the World Cup for the third consecutive time.

First friendly of the post season. The Swedes are preparing for the World Cup. Greece must consider this as a serious warm-up for the upcoming matches in the A division of the Nations League

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.
