Tension and withdrawal of Panathinaikos from the Super Cup referee draw

Without the residents of Panathinaikos (Argyris Pedoulakis, Yiannis Zafeiropoulos), the referee draw for the semi-finals of the Super Cup 2022 by the Aegean Islands took place. The Greens were in the hall for the draw on Saturday morning, October 1, but left before it got underway tense and visibly upset – the representatives of Olympiacos, Prometheus and Kolossos took no part in the tension created.

The first reason was the selection criteria of the seven (7) referees, which will determine who will referee in the two semi-finals, the small and the grand final, and the reason that this “tank” is not bigger. In this case, the report from KED (Kostas Mouzakis, Dhemitris bitis) He spoke of seven (7) international referees who were chosen based on their performance in last season’s matches – former KED President Nikos Pitsilkas was not present at the process. a fact that seems to confirm the information that the former president of KED is no longer included.

At the same time, when asked about the criteria of who will officiate the minor and major finals, the KED replied that the decisions will be made after the end of the two semi-finals and the evaluation of the performance of the two referees in them.

The delegation from KAE Panathinaikos (Argyris Pedoulakis, Yiannis Zafeiropoulos) decided to leave because they judged the procedure to be non-transparent, so that the two referee triads of the semifinals could follow.

We remind you that the seven (7) referees available for the Super Cup 2022 by Aegean Islands are: Ilias Koromilas, George Poursanidis, Petros Papapetrou, Vasiliki Tsarouha, Vassilis Pitsilkas, Dimitris Zacharis and Tasos Kardaris.
