Women’s Volleyball Cup Greece: Comfortable qualification for Aris and Thira, Markopoulos upset

Aris defeated the local in Preveza Sporty with 3-0 set and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Greek Women’s Cup.

The “Yellow-Blacks” had the game under control against the leaders of the B-zone of the A2 women, but the difference in performance determined the end result early on.

Preveza is staying on the good course it has charted in the institution, skipping teams competing in a larger category. Filathetikos now looks to the A2 Women’s Championship, remaining unbeaten and aiming for promotion to the Pre League.

Before the game started, there was a minute’s silence in memory of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos, who lost his life today.

Immediately after the end of the game, the mayor of Preveza, Nikos Georgakos, presented an album of Preveza to the head of the Aris Thessaloniki mission.
