The countdown to the new Super League season in Greece has begun, with teams entering the final phase of their preparations. The upcoming friendly matches represent a crucial opportunity for coaches to evaluate players and tactical setups before the official fixtures commence.

The schedule includes several interesting matchups, as well as a charity tournament in Volos. This tournament will feature Volos FC, Kalamata, Panionios, and Olympiacos B.
