OTAs, which states that the EPO undertakes the ‘cleanliness of the stadium in all infrastructure (stands, interiors, surroundings) before, during, after the races and after the last race’).
Finding out that even after that, and in view of the next race, the contractor to which the EPO has commissioned the cleaning is still not responding, the AAH of the Municipality of Heraklion took the initiative to prevent the repetition of the unacceptable situation of the first race. We started with our own means and workshops to clean the stands from Sunday morning, 8/6/2025. We call on the organizers to mobilize, at least retrospectively, their contractual obligations.
The AAI and the Municipality of Heraklion wish to cooperate with the EPO, which requires the compliance with the associates. The initiative we have taken beyond our contractual obligations to clean the stands does not mean the resignation of our legal rights.
We look forward to the response of the organizing authority, but if this does not happen, we will clean the stands as a whole. Our goal, we are confident with the EPO, is the match of our national team next Tuesday to leave only a positive impression on the thousands of fans who will be back in the Pancreatic Stadium“
