The referees Gontas and Foufis were acquitted and compensated
With a court decision justifying their lawsuit as their expulsion in 2016-18 was deemed illegal and abusive, Spyros Gontas and Giannis Foufis have been awarded financial compensation for the money lost and the moral harm suffered. Who should pay…
Spyros Gontas and Giannis Foufis’ justification in their 2019 lawsuit over their then two-year ban from the national basketball championships was solemn.
The two international arbitrators acquitted by ASEAD appealed to the civil courts and filed complaints against the EEC, the KED and personally against the members of the Central Arbitration Committee (Symeonidis, Koromilas, Tavoulareas, Papadopoulos) and the former President G. Vasilakopoulos.
Her exclusion from the refereeing panels without justification was deemed illegal and abusive.
The judge even accepted that the lump sum agreed by the arbitrators is a fee for services rendered as a 13% VAT is deducted (defendants argued that this was compensation).
The decision goes on to say: “With the aforementioned illegal and culpable conduct, the defendants have insulted the personality of the plaintiff and caused him non-material damage for which compensation must be awarded to him“.
We remind you that, despite ASEAD’s decision in favor of the referees, KED insisted on not including them in the tables, considering their arguments unfounded, arguing that the Supreme Court of Sport … is only a committee.
Gontas and Foufis have filed both institutional and personal lawsuits. New lawsuits and court cases ensued as the blockade continued for the next three years, the trial of which has not yet taken place.
Both arbitrators have received a substantial amount (the exact figure is unknown, but a rough estimate is €50,000 each) which, if they do not deduct it from the defendants’ accounts, they will claim from the EWG. Even if management changed.
Details on what his press release states, Giannis Mavrou, counsel for the two arbitrators: “On the occasion of the publication of the decisions of the Single Member Court of First Instance Athens (Nos. 1522/2022 and 1523/2022), by which they were adopted, in partly in relation to the amounts awarded, the actions of the arbitrators Basketball, Mr. Spyridon Gonda and Ioannis Foufis, were also judged by the competent civil court that the members of the KED intentionally and at the suggestion of the Federal President, they were not appointed as their arbitrators plaintiffs whose ultimate goal is to discredit them and to hinder their further development and generally attack them her personality, which embarrasses her for her choice collaborate with another international organization (Euroleague) that was not theirs acceptance of the accused. This behavior was judged to be constitutive abusive exercise of the EEC’s right to define through its KED Referees who compete in every game and go beyond the set limits Good faith and morality imposed and consequently were derogatory and disparaging to the plaintiffs.
It was also assumed that these EWG tactics had repercussions created in the world that surrounds the sport of basketball negative impression of the plaintiffs’ abilities as an arbitrator during there are also economic consequences like that illegal and culpable exclusion from category A1 games led to the loss of earnings that will surely be received for the two consecutive seasons.
This means that the above decisions and their justification can be attributed Institutions of the EEC and its former President, not only legally but also ethically because after justifying the decisions with these acts to blame created a “legally and ethically unacceptable situation”. 2 perceptions of the average social person” as judged by me the decisions of ASEAD.
These decisions are a justification for Spyridon Gonda and Ioannis Foufis, who strived for it with their long-standing struggle Consolidation of the principles of equality law and meritocracy in space the basketball referee.

Head coach of “Kharkov Falcons” Valery Plekhanov He summarized the team’s 2025 results and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season:
“Summing up the results of the calendar year, I want to congratulate all our fans on the upcoming New Year and Merry Christmas, wish our favorite team peace and good victories! “Kharkov Falcons” are the first players of this Super League season, so second place at the moment is a good result.
There are a few points we would like to emphasize separately. First of all, seven players from last season’s active squad won the Premier League together, but five of them never played in the Super League. Therefore, the experience they gained in the first half of this season is almost priceless. Secondly, Kharkiv Falcons are one of the two champion teams that did not play a single match at home. It’s very difficult when you’re not playing for your fans, you’re training in one gym, and you’re playing in a different gym every time, even on home tours. In these conditions, 4 defeats in 13 matches is a good result.
One of the most negative moments of this year was not being able to participate in the last four of the Ukrainian Cup. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky in the draw. After an emotionally difficult and physically exhausting match with Krivbass, we did not have enough strength for the next match against Kiev-Basket in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, our performances in the cup are over, but now we will be able to focus all our efforts on the championship.
Our main problem now is injuries. We have five injured players, three of whom have serious injuries that require a long recovery period. We’re about to get off to a very tough start to the new calendar season because the Falcons will be playing basketball six weekends in a row, which means six road trips with no rest time. If we could count on all twelve players in the squad at the beginning of the season, there will no longer be such a rotation. Therefore, all the responsibility and burden will fall on the players in the rankings. I hope they get over their injuries in the new year, recover from their injuries as soon as possible, return to work and help their beloved club properly represent Kharkiv in the Super League.
Despite the holidays, we have training scheduled almost seven days a week. “I really hope that by January 10 we will be a combat-ready team that can solve serious problems.”
