OFI won another distinction outside the competition arena, while verifying its consistency in this particular part.
Specifically, the Cretan team won the “Sports Club of the Year” award at the Sports Marketing Awards 2024, which took place on Wednesday night (10/04)!
An award that came for the third time in the last four years, notably, from OFI’s side…
The relevant announcement in detail:
“PAE OFI 1925 was named SPORTS CLUB OF THE YEAR, for the 3rd time in the last four years, at the annual Sports Marketing Awards 2024! It is the first time in the history of the institution, where the same club wins the championship three times!

BLACK FLAME RISING “swept”, collecting a total of ten awards, 5 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze.

The President of PAE OFI 1925, Michalis Bousis, said about the distinctions at the Sports Marketing Awards 2024 and the award as SPORTS CLUB OF THE YEAR: “The award as SPORTS CLUB OF THE YEAR is not just a trophy, but symbolizes what we can succeed through synergies with valuable and reliable partners. BLACK FLAME RISING is a strong imprint in the modern history of OFI, which was recorded for the first time in the annals and will be a legacy for the next generations of fans of our team. It would not have taken place without the collaboration with 24MEDIA PRODUCTIONS and Dimitris Maris, with whom we shared our vision for something unique in the annals of football in Greece.
It was a series that brought together the OFI fan community, not only in Crete, but wherever there is a supporter of our team, through its broadcast by COSMOTE TV and SPORT24. At the end of the day, it’s all about the pure fan who stands by our team through the good times and the bad times. The world with its unprecedented presence, in our stadium for the presentation of our jersey, together with COSMOSSPORT and PUMA last August. The energy people bring and their dedication is fuel for us.
All this has nothing to do with campaigns or marketing strategy. They are about rallying our fans for something bigger than all of us: For OFI. It’s about sharing the joy of victory and the hard lessons of defeat together. These create memories that last a lifetime.”
