PAOK sports club operational and security issues

Overview

The PAOK sports club has faced various operational and security challenges across different disciplines.

In football, security authorities and the Hellenic Police implemented travel restrictions for PAOK FC fans for upcoming matches in Peristeri and Agrinio. This decision followed incidents of property damage and clashes with police that resulted in fines of 45,000 euros. Additionally, the football squad dealt with player availability issues, specifically the exclusion of goalkeeper Yuri Pavlenka due to a head injury.

In handball, a match between PAOK and Ionikos NF was postponed due to unsuitable playing conditions at the Mikra 3 facility. The court surface was reportedly covered in adhesive residue from promotional stickers. This postponement led to a dispute between PAOK and the Thessaloniki Sports Facilities (EAKTH) regarding responsibility for cleaning the surface, with EAKTH claiming they had notified the Hellenic Handball Federation of the issue.
