The “Panthessaliko” for the final of the Greek Cup is finally closed! The vice-president of the EPO, Stergios Antonioureported to Metropolis FM that the AEK-PAOK will be held in Volos and this will happen with invitations by name, as requested by Achilles Beos.
In fact, he gives the Mayor of Volos the right since he says that there are precedents, while he claims that the OAKA not available.
Finally, it states that the English federation gave the “green light” for the final to be held at its stadium Crystal Palacebut it is not moving forward since there are elections on May 21.
Stergios Antoniou’s statements in detail:
“It should have been a celebration of football but it always troubles us and loses its glamour. We have tortured it a lot about the finale. No one will blame Beo because there are precedents. No one is willing to help. This is the announcement and the announcement says it right. No one would want the final to take place in an indoor stadium. We ended up having the final in Volos and now we are considering how the tickets will be distributed by name as requested.
There will be no fans on the field, there will be branded invitations. It’s too bad there won’t be any fans. The teams will want the game to be played under the right conditions. OAKA would be a good solution but it is not available. EPO has paid all its debts. Even if there were debts, is that a reason not to have the final there? There may be problems and projects to be done.
We can’t play with the final anymore. It is obvious that relations between the state and the federation are not cordial. With his statements, the Deputy Minister turns against the EPO while we have fully met our obligations”he said.
On England’s rejection: “The English federation gave the green light and Crystal Palace responded positively for May 21. However, there were elections that day.”
For the double finals: “The final is losing its glamour.”
