The club is calling on its supporters to create an atmosphere befitting a high-stakes game, emphasizing passionate vocal support. However, fans are strongly advised to avoid responding to provocations and to refrain from any offensive chants or behavior directed at individuals or opposing teams. The focus, Olympiacos stresses, must remain solely on supporting their own team.

Let's support Giorgos Bartzokas and his players exclusively with our voices. Let's not respond to provocations and let's contribute so that the focus remains where it belongs: on the game and our team.

— Olympiacos BCUrging fans to maintain focus and avoid escalating tensions.

Olympiacos also highlighted the importance of adhering to all stadium regulations to prevent any actions that could lead to penalties against the club. This includes a strict prohibition on flares, firecrackers, laser pointers, and the throwing of objects. The use of motorcycle helmets, water bottles, or other liquids inside the stadium is also forbidden, as per police directives.

Let's say NO to offensive chants and chants against individuals, and let's give our best to push our Legend to victory.

— Olympiacos BCDiscouraging unsportsmanlike conduct and promoting positive support.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early, as the stadium gates will open 2.5 hours before the 9:00 PM tip-off. The game is sold out, and attendance is strictly for ticket holders. The club also reminded attendees that a high-definition camera system, supervised by the Hellenic Police, is in operation both inside and around the stadium to monitor for any rule violations.

Let's say NO to all kinds of unsportsmanlike behavior that could expose our team to the risk of punishment.

— Olympiacos BCWarning against actions that could lead to sanctions.
