Lament for Giorgos Alikakos in OHE

Lament in Greek handball for George Alikakos who “passed away” on Thursday. The deceased was one of the leaders of the sport in Greece and in 1976, along with the Municipality of Maglara and Miltiadis Boufidis, applied to SEGAS for the establishment of the first handball division on behalf of the fearless Athens, and were also members of the first steering committee.

He was the leader of the first national men who took part in the Balkan Games in 1979 and the second president of the OCA after Miltiadis Boufidis.

From 1976 to 1997 he was President, Vice -President and Secretary General of the ESCE, most of them president with small breaks, undertaken by Kostis Grammatikopoulos and Giorgos Chalkidis.

He has been a member of the EEA for many years (1993-2001, 2013-2024) and president of the National Olympic Academy on 017-2024, a member of the Board of Directors of the OAKA for twenty years, and after his involvement with handball he was also president of the Federation of Modern Federation.

The current Bureau of the OHE and the Federation staff express their heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and in particular to his son, John.

A statement by the Mayor of Thessaloniki and the First Vice -President of the EEA Stelios Angeloudis about the death of George Alikakos: “I was sadly informed of the death of OHE President George Alikakos for many years. In our long -term acquaintance, our relationship has gone through many fluctuations, as an opponent in the Federation elections, we conflicted and disagreed, but as a colleague in the EOE plenary we worked and, in fact, he was often a strong ally in his handball claims.

I recognize his love for the sport and honor him for his contribution, especially in the first very difficult years of Handball’s birth in Greece. I express my warm and sincere condolences to his family. “
