The matches of the third two-day competition in the A1 national division of table tennis for men, which will close the first round and open the second round for men and women, will be held on 11 and 12 January 2025, they were simply not fixed since the beginning of the season because the dates for major international tournaments that enter the calendar of the World Federation are also taken into account.
On that weekend, the sports world eagerly awaits the first matches of the year between two main contenders for the title in recent years, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos. The draw had drawn both derbies between the finalists of last year’s finals to the seventh and final first round fixture and now, with the release of the schedule, the date and times have been announced.
Olympiacos and Panathinaikos will face each other twice on Sunday 12/01/2025 at the SEF, but the A1 men’s match, which attracts more interest due to the presence of huge foreign athletes from both sides, was generally placed on a separate schedule.
The A1 women’s match was set for 11:00 and Panathinaikos is typically the home team. The men’s A1 derby with Olympiakos as home team will start at 18:00.
E.F.O.E.P.A. he wanted to be alone, so as to gather all the eyes of the friends of the sport, he proposed it to the two unions and got a positive response.
The champion Olympiacos is undefeated today in men and women (in the first case it has won three games), while the runner-up Panathinaikos leads with the absolute number of victories in six matches in the men’s and is in third place in the women’s standings (in second place is AEK).
It should be noted that also at 18:00 and for the same reason, the Panathinaikos-Olympiakou match was arranged in the men’s second round, on 09/03 at SEF.
The next two weekends in the A1 national men’s and women’s division are set for 15-16/02 and 08-09/03 to follow the playoffs. The extra procedure was scheduled for 29-30/03 in all leagues, with the exception of positions 1-4 of the first division. The corresponding procedure for the selection of the Greek champions will take place on 09-10/04.
We remind you that in men’s A1, the meetings of the fourth, fifth and sixth competition week that had been postponed will take place on 28 and 29/12/2024 in Thessaloniki. Olympiacos, OEA Thessaloniki, AEA Kavala and Aris Nikias will face each other.
