Excerpts of what Dimitris Vranopoulos said in today’s (19/4/2025) Live Sport
For the reason he decided to claim the presidency:
The moments are historical, I considered it debt for the sake of stability. We need to turn the page and make Panathinaikos stronger in view of moving to new facilities, with growth, renewal and reinforcement in all sections, small and large, to claim all the titles.
On when the Panathinaikos facilities will house:
From what is evident, they will be ready in 2027. But because … in Greece we live, we must be vigilant. After all, this is our key role, to make sure there are no further delays.
For his response to those who react to the double regeneration:
I understand the fans’ anxieties, we have been suffering very much for decades. But when the project begins to … it will all understand that we are entering a new era that secures the future of Panathinaikos for the next 100 years. We went through a period of intensities and tendencies of scattering due to the stadium. I want to make a new beginning. We need our world together, which proven to love the amateur, young sponsors and a strong majority board.
For Alafouzou’s nomination:
Mr. Alafouzos, objectively, is the largest sponsor of the Amateur in recent years. In addition to contributing from the friend and member card, only in the last two years he has put around 2m euros out of his pocket. His candidacy seals his commitment and interest.
For his original goal and his long -term vision:
Panathinaikos administrations are obliged to raise a level. This will do the next one with the people next to me and the help of the world. Panathinaikos, after all, is his world. Entering the new facilities in the Botanical Garden, we will enter a new chapter that will give Panathinaikos the impulse to take off. The original goal is to make team potential. Strengthen the crown sections and give everything the opportunity to progress steadily.
For loud transcriptions to the pole:
The pole is the … Panathinaikos. Historically degraded section. We found it in the A2 men, climbed the category and took steps in front of Dimitris Mazis. It is time to grow so much to look at Olympiacos in the eyes, targeting the top. As for the loud transcriptions, they have not yet ended in our departments. The budgets will be elevated.
While for the possibility of creating a handball team:
The handball wants a special stadium. But it’s in the program. With the good, the section will open when we move to the Botanical.
As for the new Board of Directors:
I have to do my job with a Board of Directors free from toxicity, united, with a common vision of new facilities and a strong majority to perform their work. The elections are critical and necessary to participate.
