Game will take place at OAKA Stadium. If the local police does not give the permission than it will move to Leoforos Alexandra in Athens. All this for a game only 4 days before kickoff. Sad thing is that I will be in Athens on that day, but the game will be played behind closed doors.

Jovanivic was outcoached. The Danes neutralized our offensive threats quite well, and then they just punished us when we made mistakes. Maybe it would have been better if he started Bakasetas and then go with Konstantelias in 2nd half. The next two games will decide our fa. Win against Scotland (we have done it before), and maybe try to get a tie in Copenhagen to keep us in the race.

Still not clear where this will take place. Pankritio Stadium might not be ready by game time. It might be played at OAKA in Athens. In any case it will be without fans as OFI has 1 game fan ban from last season.

Sadly he never got a chance to prove himself.

1:0 final score.

That should open the door for couple more.

Watching on shitty stream in a hotel in Nafpaktos. We are playing badly even with an extra man.

Unfortunately I was stuck in Athens and missed the game. The bars I checked out were showing only the AEK or Panathinaikos game.

So who starts as forward in this game? Giakoumakis or Chalov?

Second home game in a row. This time with fans. Must win too.

Yes Chalov is bad right now, but so will be every forward we will use if the team plays like we did the last 3 European games. Add the fact that Zivkovic and Konstantelias are playing very poorly does not help the situation.

1:0 final. What a pathetic performance by PAOK. Don't see how we can advance without crating any chances for goal. We have no clue on what to do with the ball when we reach the offensive zone. And we are not playing any good teams either.

The left side with Baba is a constant danger for PAOK.

The TV deal with Novasports is official. Two year deal for 10 mil (plus bonuses). We did not sign directly with Novasports, but with the new company Percapita, which subleased the games to Novasports. As for the international rights to our home games it looks they will continue to be available on Sport Plus in USA, Canada and Australia.

The first round of games are completed. The 20 teams that qualified to the League Phase of the Greek Cup and divided into 5 groups as seeded by rankings. PAOK will be drawn to play 4 other teams (one from each ranked groups). We will play 4 games (2 at home and 2 away) and the points we accumulate will determine our standings in the overall 20-team group. The top 4 teams in the overall standings qualify directly to the quarterfinal stage. Teams finishing in places 5-12 will play a playoff round in order to qualify to the quarterfinal stage. The 5 seeded groups: Olympiakos Panathinaikos PAOK AEK -------------------------------- Aris Asteras Aktor Atromitos OFI --------------------------------- Levadeiakos Panatolikos Volos NFC Athens Kallithea --------------------------------- AE Larisa Kifisia FC POT Iraklis Aigaleo ---------------------------------- Ilioupolis Kavala Marko Ellas Syrrou

We have agreed with Slavia Prague for Christos Zafiris. The transfer will officially happen on January 1, 2026. Until then he will play for Slavia apparently on loan basis. We will pay Slavia 10 mil plus 2 mil in bonuses. Zafiris will sign with PAOK for 4 years.

I have exchanged messages with Athens4 in recent days. He is giving me recommendations for my trip to Greece. He told me he is busy focusing on more important things in life these days, and does not have time for football related activities.

Game will be played without fans.
