The Greek football community united to support former international defender Traianos Dellas at the funeral of his wife, Gogo Mastrokosta. She passed away on May 25 after a long illness and was laid to rest at the Holy Trinity Church in Elliniko.

Dellas, visibly distraught, was joined by their daughter Victoria, her mother Spyridoula, and sister Fofi. The somber atmosphere was shared by many who came to pay their respects.

Notable attendees included numerous teammates from the Euro 2004 national squad, such as Antonis Nikopolidis, Michalis Kapsis, Takis Fyssas, Giorgos Seitaridis, Angelos Basinas, Kostas Katsouranis, and Demis Nikolaidis. They stood in solidarity with Dellas, a former national team defender.

Former and current teammates of Dellas also attended, including Leonidas Vokolos, Kostas Chalkias, Ilia Ivic, Vassilis Lakis, and Giorgos Alexopoulos. Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Kostas Manolas were also present, alongside former Hellenic Football Federation president Vassilis Gagatsis and OFI general director Ilias Pourtsanidis. The football world's presence underscored their support for Dellas during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, the family requested that donations be made to the 'FLOGA' Foundation, which supports children with neoplastic diseases. A special box was placed in the church for this purpose.
