Panathinaikos FC commemorative initiatives

Overview

Panathinaikos FC owner Giannis Alafouzos has launched several commemorative initiatives ahead of the club’s transition to its new stadium in Botanikos.

Initially, the club announced it would provide free season tickets for the 2026-2027 season to living former players who won Greek Championships or participated in significant European campaigns. This initiative includes foreign players with strong ties to the club and offers reserved seating for prominent former players living abroad.

Subsequently, the club expanded its tributes to include the families of Giorgos Koskoros and Dimitris Sarandakos, two founding members of the Thyra 13 supporters' group. Both men died in a 1966 bus accident during the club’s first organized away trip. The club is actively searching for their families to provide season tickets as a symbolic tribute.
