The cooperation between the two companies goes beyond the mere sponsoring deal, as it is accompanied by an extended plan for social initiatives in upcoming years.

PAOK FC Vice-president and Chief Executive Officer Mr Makis Gagatsis, said: «We welcome Stoiximan to PAOK’s big family. Our vision is not limited to our activity on the pitch, but extends to participating and contributing to society in solidarity. I am convinced that Stoiximan, who boast significant social work in recent years, share our vision. We hope that in the next three years we will set the bar high and we will all be proud of our common social efforts».

Board member of Stoiximan Mr Ioannis Spanoudakis made the following statement upon the official announcement of the two companies’ collaboration: «We are particularly happy with this agreement. It’s only natural for the biggest online betting company in Greece to join forces with the biggest and most successful football club of Northern Greece. The timing of this agreement, as the club recently won the Greek Cup, is a sign of our commonly shared principles: continuous effort, establishment, top spot. We are also very happy to contribute in enhancing PAOK’s social work. PAOK’s origins and history are inextricably linked with social work».

Marketing and Communication Director of Stoiximan Mr Panos Konstantopoulos underlined the following: «In recent years, Stoiximan have been very active in Thessaloniki, supporting various institutions, competitions and sports clubs. Signing this sponsoring deal with PAOK FC extends our responsibility level and we become more involved with the city and its people. In the framework of this agreement, we are also looking forward to new, original activities for PAOK fans».

The logo of stoiximan.gr will feature on PAOK shirts starting this Sunday, first day of their main preseason stage in the Netherlands. Stoiximan.gr will make its “competitive” debut on 4 July, in their friendly encounter against AFC Tubize. The special event for the presentation of the sponsoring deal will be held after the squad return to Thessaloniki from their main preseason stage.
