Giannoulis signing is official:

Brann - Apollon Limassol 0:1

3:2 win in extra time for PAOK ladies against Ferencvaros. We now play Brann in the final on Saturday. Brann defeted Mitrovica 5:0 and are favorites to progress to 3rd round of the competition. If we lose, we drop down to the Europa Cup competition.

Levski beat Kairat 1:0 in the first leg.

Giannoulis is due in Thessaloniki tomorrow to sign with PAOK. Three year contract at 1.2 mil per season. We are paying Augsburg 3.75 mil + 500 K in bonuses. We also agreed to play a friendly with them with proceeds going to the German team. I said it before and will say it again, we are over paying for him. That money could have been better spent on getting a good forward.

Lyratzis to Atromitos is a free transfer, but we retain some kind of resale percentage. Balde has been loaned to Levadeiakos for the upcoming season.

Schedule for our ladies in the Qualifying Round 2 of Champions League, which will take place in Budapest, Hungary: Semifinals 05-August-2026 11:00 EEST: Brann - Mitrovica 17:30 EEST: PAOK Thessaloniki - Ferencvaros Budapest 3RD PLACE GAME 08-August-2026 11:00 EEST: simifinal losers FINAL 08-August-2026 17:30 EEST: semifnal winners Both PAOK games will be televised on ERT 2 Sport

The easiest way to see the games is to get Dish and their Greek language package at $ 29.99. They have Antenna Satellite and Sport Plus, which in the past divided the Superleague games between them. Antenna also had the Greek Cup. However starting this season the TV right are drastically changing in Greece, which i am sure will impact those packages as well. For now what is certain is that Antenna Satellite will have the home games of Olympiakos, AEK and PAOK. I am following the developments and will post the information. Of course there are the shady IPTV services such as Ellas TV, GoGreekTV, etc. that offer Greek television.

Louchet is announced by PAOK:

Shoretire was added to the European list of players, taking the spot of Gugegasvili who was loaned a Turkish team. Louchet will be added to the list as well once he signs with the team on Sunday.

Tom Louchet is expected in Thessaloniki on Sunday to sign with PAOK and be added to the European list.

Our away (white) kit was released today:

It was decided that Meite will undergo surgery for his sciatic problem, which means he will be gone for over 3 months. At the end of the last season the surgery option was presented to Meite, but he turned it down. My prediction is that won't play another game for PAOK.

Anderlecht it is then. First game at Toumba on August 6. Return leg in Brussels on August 13.

pash, I have to apologize. I deleted your post about Michailidis by accident. It looked like a double post. I tried to delete one of them, but both got deleted. Sorry.

BTW, we have become the first Greek team to eliminate Dynamo Kiev in European competition. The others were unsuccessful, including the mighty O Aris.

Gomez has impressed me so far in the two games he played. He really stepped up his game. The loan last season did him some good.

Konstantelias 2:0

1:0 halftime. Perfect timing scoring the goal.
