The 13 games of the first round of the championship are set to be played from now until December 11 with the first two matchdays (against Panetolikos and Atromitos) scheduled for 26/27.12 and 3/4.12.

Stelios Malezas remains at the helm as coach, as does the entire technical team, to which assistant coach Thanos Hatziathanasiou is added.

This year’s squad is almost completely renewed, maintaining, however, a core of «older» players born in 2004. Babouras, Sinanai, Kalogiros, Spyridopoulos, Martos, Athanasiou, and Lypiridis remain, so those born in 2005, last year’s Under-17 champions, are added.

In accordance with its philosophy, the PAOK Academy is also enriching the Under-19 roster this season with some younger players. Tzimas, Politakis, Sznaucner, Koupenos, Tsitskas and Panikidis were born in 2006. Some had already received a «baptism of fire» from last season, however this year they will play for the Under-19s although they belong to the Under-17s.

Needless to say, the majority of the players in the squad are internationals.

The Under-19 squad for the 2022-23 season, therefore, consists of the following players:

Goalkeepers: Spyros Angelidis, Vangelis Kiatos, Vassilis Nikolakoulis, Alexandros Lypiridis

Defenders: Marios Sinanai, Nikos Deligiannis, Konstantinos Skourtis, Haris Georgiadis, Taxiarchis Filon, Vassilis Pasakhidis, Konstantinos Kastidis, Giorgos Koupenos, Panagiotis Tsitskas, Stathis Panikidis

Midfielders: Theodoros Kalogiros, Andreas Athanasiou, Dimitris Kottas, Konstantinos Goumas, Panagiotis Deliopoulos, Maximilian Sznaucner, Stelios Almasidis

Forwards: Marios Babouras, Theodoros Spyridopoulos, Loukas Martos, Alexandros Adams, Stefanos Tzimas, Grigoris Politakis, Yiannis Gitersos, Minas Vassiliadis, Manolis Ibrahim
