Panathinaikos takes Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament to Australia for first time

·

Panathinaikos BC is in discussions to hold the 7th Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament in Australia, specifically in Melbourne and Sydney, two cities with large Greek communities.

The Greens are in advanced talks to be in Australia in September 2025, giving many Greeks the chance to see their team up close.

Initially, the tournament will be held in Melbourne in mid-September, alongside FK Partizan, on September 18.

It will then move to Sydney, where two Australian teams – reportedly the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United – will join to compete in the 7th Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament on September 21 – 22.

This is a significant move for Panathinaikos, bringing the club closer to the Greek diaspora.
