Greek Basketball League finals to proceed after rival club owners reach agreement

·

Deputy Sports Minister Yiannis Vroutsis confirmed that the Greek Basketball League finals will go ahead, following a verbal agreement between Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos and Olympiacos owners Giorgos and Panagiotis Angelopoulos.

The rival club owners met separately with Vroutsis on Wednesday, June 6, after a clash during Sunday’s game led to heightened tensions and a postponed match.

The minister had warned that failure to reach an understanding would result in the championship being permanently suspended.

The owners agreed not to attend away games at their rival’s stadium.

“We weathered the storm,” said Vroutsis.

“The finals will continue with the personal commitment of the owners to guarantee a climate of safety. The talks were constructive and the clubs are guaranteeing the smooth running of the games.”
