Panathinaikos BC has released a statement to its fans, providing guidance for the crucial Game 4 of the Stoiximan GBL Finals against Olympiacos. The club emphasized the fans' role as the "sixth player" throughout the season and urged them to maintain their passionate support.
Tonight, our team plays its last home game of the season. A season where you were our 'sixth player'. Where you were there, filling our 'home', supporting Panathinaikos AKTOR only with your voice.
The statement detailed important measures and instructions for attendees at the game. Fans are asked to support the team solely through their voices and to avoid responding to any provocations, ensuring the "unique atmosphere" of the arena is preserved. The club stressed that lasers, smoke bombs, and fireworks are strictly prohibited, with violations facing severe penalties, including closed-door games.
Specific rules were outlined for those with court-side tickets, asking for caution to avoid interfering with the game's proceedings. The display of banners or signs with political, religious, ideological, offensive, racist, or sexist content is also forbidden. For safety and commercial reasons, fans are not permitted to bring food, drinks, or coffee into the venue.
We are sure that you will do the same tonight in the fourth final of the Stoiximan GBL championship against Olympiacos (10/6, 21:00). That you will put on another unique show, as only you know how, and will push our coach and athletes to victory.
Doors will open at 6:00 PM, and early arrival is recommended to enjoy pre-game activities and avoid delays. Instructions for vehicle access were also provided, detailing entry gates and available parking areas. The club also reminded attendees that tickets are non-transferable and personal identification, such as via the Gov Wallet app, is mandatory for entry. Children over three years old require a separate ticket.
Support the team only with our voice. Do not respond to any kind of provocation and do not allow anyone to spoil the unique atmosphere of the Telekom Center Athens!
