Life Members of Sydney Olympic FC have been urged to mobilise ahead of an Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for 24 March 2026, as concerns continue to mount over the club’s governance, finances and future direction.
The call comes from a member-authorised Steering Committee, established by Sydney Olympic FC members – not the club itself – at a meeting held on February 2.
As first reported by The Greek Herald, members voted to create the committee after weeks of growing unrest and what they described as repeated failures by the club’s Board to respond to formal information requests or convene an EGM.
In an urgent announcement issued this week, the Steering Committee said the club is facing a “critical period” in its history and stressed the importance of Life Member participation in safeguarding Sydney Olympic’s transparency, values and long-term sustainability.
Life Members have been asked to confirm their details and participation ahead of the March AGM by contacting: ian@ignifylegal.com.au or peter@cappe.com.au.
Governance concerns and unanswered questions
Key concerns raised at the February 2 meeting included the club’s financial position, governance arrangements and the basis on which major decisions affecting the club’s future have been made, with members expressing frustration at the lack of direct communication from the Board.
A major focus of discussion was uncertainty surrounding the club’s constitution, with members seeking clarity on which version is currently operative and whether amendments had been properly registered with ASIC and approved by Football NSW.
Speakers stressed that constitutional clarity was essential before any meaningful reform could occur.
Role of the Steering Committee
As part of its mandate, the Steering Committee has been tasked with pursuing pathways to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), seeking information on behalf of members, and engaging with Football NSW, regulators and legal advisers where necessary. Members were repeatedly told the committee does not constitute a new Board and that any future board would be elected by members through a formal EGM process.
The Steering Committee authorised by members includes Peter Katholos, Angelo Hasouros, Andrew Bernal, Ian Agamalis, Peter Andrios, Peter Drivas, Nick Nicholas, Louie Apostolovski, Gary Peroy, Sam Skontos, John Petropoulos and George Mpliokas.
Members reiterated that Sydney Olympic FC is a members’ club — not a private entity — and said restoring transparency and member confidence will be critical as the club approaches the March 2026 AGM.
