Panathinaikos is entering a new phase in its European journey and, just as last year it reached the top eight of the Europe Cup after the Champions League, this year too it will aim to reach the top. On Thursday he will go to Linares and the team will be made up of Katerina Toliou, Konstantina Paridis, the Slovenian Ana Tofad and the team manager Sotiris Humos.

The three teams will play each other and the first two will qualify for the next phase (first of the “knock outs”). There are four groups in stage 2 in total.

The program on the ETTU website states that both of its matches will take place on Saturday 21/10. At 4:00 p.m. Greek time, they will face the local Mirandela and at 9:00 p.m. the Czech team Ostrov.
