On Monday, Nikos Kourouvanis became a Panathinaikos player. The “green” amateur announced the acquisition of the 24-year-old international regional player, who has experienced great moments in recent years with the Vouliagmeni shirt.
In detail, the announcement:
“The Panathinaikos Athletic Club announces the start of its collaboration with Nikos Kourouvanis for the water polo department for the 2024-2025 competitive season.
In a very important transfer move, Panathinaikos made a great transfer move, as they added Nikos Kourouvanis to their dynamic team.
The important international polo player came from NE Vouliagmenis (hometown) to Panathinaikos in order to raise the quality of the ‘clover’ even more.
This is a player who was present in the great European marches of Vouliagmeni and undoubtedly adds a special glamor to the ‘green’ roster.
Plays mainly on the right side with a reliable shot from distance and organizational skills with the ball in hand.
The 24-year-old regional player was in the Junior National Team when he won the World Championship in 2018 and is considered one of the best pole players of his generation.
In his statement on www.pao1908.com, Nikos Kourouvanis said: “It is an honor and a joy to join Panathinaikos and, for sure, it is a special moment for me. Panathinaikos is a great club and I, for my part, will do everything I can to take the polo department one step further. I wish we have a full season, without injuries and with many victories.”
