EuroLeague fines Olympiacos for conduct at Panathinaikos, putting SEF at risk for playoffs
Olympiacos have been fined €36,500 by the EuroLeague for the behavior of their fans in the derby with Panathinaikos. The ‘Red-Whites’ are in a difficult position as a next offense with a view to the playoffs behind closed doors could result in a penalty.
Olympiacos are suddenly in a difficult position. The Piraeus team was fined 36,500 euros by EuroLeague Basketball for the behavior of their fans in the derby with Panathinaikos in the 30th game of EuroLeague (victory 101:73) for using crackers and lasers and for some slogans, that have been heard. However, the problem could get even bigger in the near future.
With the “Red-Whites” already committing a foul, a possible new criminal behavior is likely to lead EuroLeague basketball to the decision to force the “Red-Whites” to play behind closed doors in the playoffs. As it is clear from that moment that Olympiacos are chasing home advantage, it is clear that this would change the dates.
It is recalled that the ‘Red-Whites’ have one more home game before the end of the regular season according to the program after hosting Barcelona for their 33rd game on April 1st. As it turns out, everyone needs to behave appropriately that night so the team doesn’t get in trouble before the start of the playoffs, regardless of whether they end up with home field advantage or not.
