A legal dispute has emerged between VAR official Stefanos Kouparakis and Achilleas Beos, the Mayor of Volos. The conflict arose after Beos posted on social media criticizing officiating during the OFI vs. Volos match, specifically labeling Kouparakis a ‘tool of the system’ following a controversial penalty decision.

Kouparakis has issued a legal notice demanding a retraction and correction within 24 hours, stating that failure to comply will lead to civil court proceedings seeking financial compensation.
