The corresponding announcement in detail: “PAOK and Women’s Volleyball Division announce the start of collaboration with athlete Athanasia Liagi for the 2022-2023 season.
Athanasia Liagi, born 11/24/1995, competes as Cross and is 183 cm tall.
She started her career in the 2008/09 season and with the jersey of GS Keratea she made her first appearances in the top category of Greek women’s volleyball, where she stayed until the 2010/11 season.
The 2011/12 season found her in the AEK jersey, with which she won her first title, the championship.
After that he remained a resident of Athens, but with different goals. Panathinaikos (2012-13), AO Markopoulou (2013-2017), GS Ilioupolis (2017-18).
In the 2018/19 season, she took place outside the pool for the first time, playing for Pannaxiakos.
In the next racing year (2019-20) she tried her luck abroad, undertaking the Greece-France trip on behalf of VC Lafèrois.
In the 2020/21 season “marked” by the pandemic, Athanasia Liagi had two goals. The Greek crusader started the year at AEK but with the championship suspended and the uncertainty of restarting at the time, she was forced to look abroad for a solution and found it in Spain’s Arenal Emevé.
Last season she played for the Pannaxiakos team, serving her second term there.
It’s international with our country’s national team.
Speaking on the federation’s official website, acpaok.gr, Athanasia Liagi stated on the start of the cooperation with PAOK: “I am very happy to play in the great team of PAOK. I would like to thank Mr Amoridis and the coach for believing in me. I want to help my team with all my strength and all my love for this sport to achieve the best possible result. Finally, I would like to have the world of PAOK next to us, which is always there in the easy and in the difficult, because in their own way they give us the incentive to become even better. Have a good start into the new year, especially with health”.
