Greek football pre‑season friendlies

Entities: Atromitos FC · Panthrakikos F.C. · Aris Thessaloniki F.C. · Panaitolikos FC · Michalis Grigoriou

Overview

The summer preparation period for Greek clubs has featured a series of domestic and international friendlies. Early in the season Olympiacos opened the schedule with a 2‑1 win over Rakow, followed by Panaitolikos edging Panionios 1‑0 thanks to a long‑range strike from Nikolaou, and Atromitos holding Anorthosis to a goalless draw on Polish soil. The matches highlighted squad fine‑tuning and defensive organization ahead of the new campaign.

Continuing the pattern, on 5 August 2026 Niki Volou hosted PAOK B at the Pantelis Magoulas stadium. The game ended 0‑0 after a third‑stage friendly for Niki Volou and the first in front of home supporters since returning from a training camp in Ptolemaida. PAOK B dominated possession and created several clear chances, including a near‑goal when Pavlos Eppas struck the right post, but neither side could break the deadlock. Both teams will use the result to further refine their preparations for the upcoming league season.

Later on the same day, Aris recorded a 5‑1 victory over Panthrakikos at the Vikelidis stadium. Goals from striker Ratsis (11’, 54’), Giannios (39’), a penalty by Gare (65’) and Galanopoulos (71’) gave the hosts a comfortable win, while Panthrakikos replied with a consolation goal in the 56th minute. Aris rotated several young players and coped with injuries to Kouame, Moron, Matar and Hongla, who is recovering from surgery, using the match to assess squad depth ahead of the league launch.
