PAS Pyrgos renames to Paniliakos Athletic Club
The General Assembly of PAS Pyrgos has unanimously voted to change the club's name to Paniliakos Athletic Club. The decision, reached with 28 votes in favor at the Latsio Municipal Building in Pyrgos, marks a significant shift for the Superbet League 2 team.
Marianna Mitropoulou, the club's communications officer, presented the proposal to amend the statutes, noting that the return to professional categories necessitates a name that represents the entire Elis prefecture rather than just the capital city. Pyrgos Mayor Stathis Kannis supported the move, stating it restores the local athletic history associated with the historic Paniliakos name.
Fans gathered outside the City Hall to celebrate the announcement with chants, songs, and flares.
