Panathinaikos request postponement of Kifisia opener

Aug 14, 2026

Panathinaikos have formally requested a postponement of their Super League opener against Kifisia on Sunday, August 23. The reason? The Conference League playoff against Hradec Kralove falls in the same window, and European qualification is the clear priority for Jacob Neestrup's side (1). Your team secured their place in that playoff with a dramatic extra-time win over CSKA 1948, sealed by Cyriel Dessers' stoppage-time strike. Now the season opener hangs on whether the Greek federation grants the request. Kifisia are the scheduled visitors to Athens.
