The Philanthropic «Pantelis Kyriakidis» Tournamant
The PAOK Academy continues to show its sensitivity and solidarity with the annual organization of the “Pantelis Kyriakidis” charity tournament, which will take place this year on December 18 and 19.
At the age of just 12, in May 2009, Pantelis Kyriakidis, a young player from the PAOK Academy, was seriously injured and his father lost his life when they were returning to Thessaloniki by following a tournament. Pantelis continues to fight a brave and difficult battle for his life, stuck in a deep coma. However, his recovery requires huge sums of money to continue.
PAOK, faithful to its commitment to continued support for Pantelis, is organizing tournaments at the Leontes and Champions sports centers (11.00 to 17.00) with the participation of our collaborating academies of the PAOK Football Prints network from both Thessaloniki and the wider area of the region. The tournament involves age categories from Under-16 to Under-14.
