Panathinaikos officially announced they will not compete against Olympiacos in the 2019/20 Greek Basket League.

Olympiacos has been relegated to the second division, after forfeiting Game 1 of the playoffs against the “Greens”.

Here is Panathinaikos’ announcement:

“Pending the Sports Court decision regarding the relegation of Olympiacos to the Second Division, Panathinaikos wants to clarify the following, once again and towards every direction.

Panathinaikos and Olympiacos won’t compete together in the upcoming Greek League championship.

Legal and illegal won’t co-exist. The Laws are Laws and must be consistently kept for everyone. The principals and morals of our Club aren’t negotiable. We are certain that we won’t have to refer to this again.”
