Kalamata FC secures first Super League win; prepares for Pan

Overview

Kalamata FC, nicknamed ‘Black Storm’, officially marked its return to the Greek Super League 1 after a 26-year absence with a debut match against Aris Thessaloniki. Due to ongoing works at their home stadium, the match was held in Tripoli. Despite taking the lead twice, Kalamata suffered a 3-2 defeat. Following the game, Sporting Director Daniel Batista commented on the team’s performance and the historic significance of the return.

As the club prepares for upcoming fixtures, it faces roster challenges. Following a 1-1 draw against Atromitos—a match where Kalamata equalized via a Stavropoulos own goal in the 52nd minute but saw Caldi sent off in the 73rd—the club faced Volos FC at Peristeri. In a significant turnaround, Kalamata secured a historic 3-1 comeback victory against Volos. After trailing 0-1, the team rallied in the second half with two goals from Erik Hamza and one from Bolivar, marking the club’s first victory in the top flight after 25 years.

Looking ahead to the fifth round of the Stoiximan Super League, Kalamata is scheduled to face Panathinaikos at the Neapolis stadium in Nikaia. Coach Panagiotis Christofileas has announced a 23-player squad for the encounter, stating that despite the difference in team strength, the club aims to secure a positive result.

In youth competition, the Kalamata K19 team recently suffered a 0-4 defeat against Volos K19. Separately, the club was summoned to a disciplinary hearing by the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) on August 28 to address incidents from the Aris match involving fan chants and the throwing of plastic cups. In recruitment, the club has bolstered its roster with signings including Ilias Chatzitheodori, Axel Ghesan, Stavros Angelis, and Dimitris Naoumis.
