PAOK FC organizational and infrastructure development

Overview

PAOK FC owner Ivan Savvidis has initiated a broad organizational restructuring aimed at achieving championship success and securing Champions League participation. This reorganization includes the appointment of Anastasios Zikas as an advisor to focus on internal coordination and technology implementation.

Infrastructure development remains a central component of the club’s strategy. Plans include completing procedures for the new Nea Toumpa stadium by next summer, preparing the Kavazoglou Stadium for use by the end of the current season, and beginning work on a training center in Thermi in 2026.

To elevate the youth academy from a national leader to one of the best in Europe, Savvidis has prioritized significant investments. This includes the development of a training center in Surati, expected to cost tens of millions of euros, and the integration of new technologies to enhance player preparation and injury prevention. Savvidis noted that the academy's mission focuses on the holistic development of young athletes.

Regarding competitive objectives, Savvidis recently addressed the squad to reinforce that the primary goal is to win the championship, with the cup being a secondary target. He emphasized the necessity of unity and discipline, stating that ‘goals are achieved by the team and not by individuals.’ He further encouraged younger players to build their futures at the club and urged the squad to maintain team spirit to achieve these objectives.
