Kalamata FC wins friendly in Bulgaria as Varkas scores and Liatsikouras debuts
Kalamata Football Club completed its pre‑season preparation with a 1‑0 friendly victory over Kosovo side Zilani in Bansko, Bulgaria. The only goal came from Kenneth Varkas, who struck in the 65th minute. In the final minutes, Argyris Liatsikouras made his unofficial debut for the black‑white team.
Coach Panagiotis Christofilias emphasized that the focus of the match was on the players' work and tactical implementation rather than the result. The club is now turning its attention to the upcoming Volos tournament scheduled for 10‑12 August and a Greek Cup qualifying tie against Panaitolikos that will precede the start of the league season. Recent roster additions include Polish forward David Kurminowski and defender Axel Gesan, who holds a French passport.
The friendly was part of a broader training camp in Bulgaria, marking the final stage of Kalamata’s preparation before returning to its home base.
