Panathinaikos prepares for European football and water polo qualifiers

Panathinaikos is preparing for several key European competitions. For the UEFA Conference League playoffs against Hradec Kralove, the club has submitted its official squad list to UEFA, notably replacing the injured Pavlos Pantelidis with Davide Calandria.

To prioritize these crucial matches and ensure player fitness, Panathinaikos intends to exercise its ‘Joker Right’ to request a postponement of its Super League fixture against Kifisia, originally scheduled for August 23. The club views qualification for the Conference League League Phase as a vital necessity for financial stability and UEFA ranking points.

In water polo, the club is set to learn its opponents for the LEN Champions League qualifiers during a draw in Nyon, Switzerland. The draw will determine the groups for 11 competing teams, with Panathinaikos positioned in the fourth seeding group.

Additionally, recent data highlights strong fan engagement for the football team, with matches against Paks and CSKA 1948 recording high attendance figures in the Conference League qualifying stages.
