Hellenic Basketball Federation leadership developments

Overview

Vangelis Liolios, President of the Hellenic Basketball Federation (EOK), has addressed his five-year tenure and future objectives for Greek basketball.

Initially, Liolios expressed a personal interest in supporting the Panachaiki sports club in his hometown of Patras, noting a desire to unify efforts for the team despite previous disagreements.

In a subsequent programmatic press conference, Liolios declared he will remain in office until he has “cleansed” the sport of past irregularities. He defended his leadership against corruption allegations, stating that legal investigations have produced no criminal findings. During this event, media organizations including the Panhellenic Association of Sports Journalists (PSAT) and the Journalists' Union of Athens (ESHEA) criticized the EOK for inviting only six journalists, arguing the selective attendance undermined press freedom and public access to information.
