“There hasn’t been an opportunity to do something like this before. But if there is an event like this in the future, we will definitely see more children playing and dreaming more that they can achieve something in the future.”

Then Stefanos Tsitsipas said: “We all have a lot to give on the field. Do great things. We don’t just play for ourselves, but also for those affected by the fires and floods, we want to give a little more. It won’t be an easy meeting.

While Apostolos Tsitsipas emphasized: “I ask for the support of all Greek fans to visit the venue, support the team, the fans are the additional strength for the athletes. We are going through difficult times and especially in Thessaly it is important that we are all there. We are united because we are creating a softer situation. When we are united, we can achieve greater success.”
