Panathinaikos announced in an update that at Maccabi’s request, the program of the second day (24/9) of the “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” tournament has been changed, with the Israelis playing in the first game regardless of the results of the semifinals.
According to the “green” KAE, the 4th “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” tournament (23-24/9), organized by Panathinaikos, will have a small change in the program in order to fulfill Maccabi’s wish.
As has been announced, Maccabi will play in the first game (18:00) on the second day of the tournament (Saturday, September 24), regardless of the results of the two semifinals. The reason is that the team has to catch the evening flight to Israel on the same day, because it is there on Sunday (September 25th). big holiday “Rosh Hashana” (Jewish New Year’s Eve) and then everyone wants to go to the country.
Recall that the semi-final pairings (23/9) are as follows:
6:00 p.m.: Maccabi – Armani Milano
9:00 p.m.: Panathinaikos – Anatolou Efes
