Panaitolikos set to face Kalamata in Greek Cup first‑round draw

The draw for the 2026‑27 Superbet Greek Cup first‑round qualifying stage paired Super League 2 side Kalamata with Panaitolikos. The single‑leg tie is scheduled for the weekend of 17‑19 August.

The fixture will be decided in one match; if the score is level after 90 minutes the teams will go straight to a penalty shoot‑out, with no extra‑time period. The loser is eliminated from the competition.

The meeting offers Panaitolikos coach Giannis Anastasios a chance for revenge after his side were knocked out by Kalamata on penalties in October 2022.
