PAOK’s 2026 campaign is marked by significant shifts in European competition, squad composition, and ~~upcoming~~ domestic challenges. Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, PAOK was eliminated from the UEFA Conference League after a 3-2 defeat against Brann in Norway. Despite second-half goals from Serif Didic and Christos Zafiris, a late penalty by Niklas Castro in the 86th minute resulted in a 4-3 aggregate loss. Manager Alessio Lisci criticized the officiating, stating, “It is not a penalty in any country in the world. We are furious with this.” This exit carries financial implications, as the club misses a 3.17 million euro participation prize, and has reportedly delayed the transfer of Ruben Sanchez.
