Dear Friends
While participating for the
third time in the semifinal
phase of the Champion
League Cup, Panathinaikos
welcomes the champion
Ajax to Athens, with senti
ments of friendship and re
spect. Panathinaikos and
Ajax are old acquaintances
in the European arena, and
the beginning was the their
historic showdown at the
European Cup, final at
Wembley, on June 2,1972.
We welcome our great opponent to the hos
pitable city of Athens and wish the delegation
a pleasant stay in our country.
Faithful to the principles that the role of soc
cer is not limited to the rivalry inside competi
tive spaces but has wider social extensions,
we promise to present the best of ourselves
in this truly significant festivity and contribute
with all our might to its success. Besides, the
message that we must send in every direc
tion is that while cultivating the love for soc
cer and turning the youth's interest towards
athletics, we achieve the protection of the
most vital piece of our society from other un
pleasant situations.
Panathinaikos, whose sensibility in this direc
tion is known and its social work has come
across general approval considers it an hon
our to host this important event today in
Athens.
I welcome you on behalf of PAE Panathi
naikos and its millions of friends and I avail
myself of the opportunity to express my ap
preciation and my best wishes to all of the
contributors to this wonderful evening, for
soccer ant athletics.
Giorgios Vardinoyannis
President F.C. PANATHINAIKOS
