In the women’s table tennis Champions League, which is also the most important at the inter-club level, Greek interest is strong. Basically, because the women’s team of Panathinaikos marks the “maiden” presence of a team from our country in the Champions League and, from then on, there is, for another year, the participation of Panagiotis Gionis and Yiannis Sgouropoulos in the corresponding organization of of men.
Panathinaikos learned their opponents in stage 1, while the Polish Bogoria of Gionis and the French Enebon of Sgouropoulos will be directly in stage 2. Foreign clubs, in which there are names from Greece, will also participate in the women’s institution, while in course, attention will also be directed to the draws of the third European competition, the Europe Trophy, where Olympiacos have declared participation in the men’s division and Sarises Florina in the women’s division.
Three groups of three teams and one of four were formed in Stage 1 of the Women’s Champions League. Panathinaikos was drawn in the third group, which is of four and will compete in Spain. The head of the group is Budaorsi Sport Club from Hungary, the “host” is Linares from Spain and the third opponent is Osiasers Bodenstorf from Austria.
The champion of the Europe Trophy 2022 with his strong Greek and foreign athletes will exhaust his chances for the first place and qualifying for stage 2 in the pool.
It was known that the Spanish Reus had declared participation in the same institution, in which Katerina Toliou will compete alongside the Greek A1 and Panathinaikos. She also starts her attempt from stage 1, she will be in the fourth group with the Serbian Novi Sad (organizer) and the Austrian Vilas, but, of course, the top Greek athlete cannot wear this jersey at the same time in Europe.
Besides, one of the favorites for the women’s Champions League is the Austrian Linz Frosberg, which has Malamatenia Papadimitriou and Chrissi Fotiadou in its ranks. The young internationals will play this year with the second team of the association, however, it should be noted that Leeds is the leader in the fourth group and will find opposite the French Saint Quentin and some of the four winners of stage 1.
In the men’s Champions League, Bogoria and Enebon continue the tradition of multi-year presence. In stage 2 three groups of three teams are created. Gionis, having a good time and the last adventure with his suffering achilles, will strengthen the champion of Poland again this year. Bogoria was in the first group. There, Borussia Dusseldorf is in charge and the trio will be completed by a winner from a group of stage 1.
The French Enebon added Yannis Sgouropoulos to its staff this year. The former semifinalist of the institution, from the time of Kallinikos Kreanga, is the leader in the second group. They will face Austrian Wells and a winning team from stage 1 group is also waiting.
