Olympiacos Champions League squad changes

Overview

On 30 July 2026 Olympiacos announced its 22‑player list for the upcoming Champions League playoff ties against Feyenoord, omitting five foreign outfield players and retaining goalkeeper Gustavo Sa among others. Italian media reported that the club was close to signing Moroccan left‑back Salah‑Edin on a four‑year deal.

The following day, coach José Luis Mendilibar revised the squad ahead of the first‑leg match against Napoli, dropping veteran goalkeeper Stefan Ortega for lack of recent match fitness and promoting Balsa Popovic to the starting role. UEFA permits two roster changes before the 4 August kickoff, and the adjustments reflect Mendilibar’s focus on form and readiness as the campaign progresses.
