ESAKE’s Standpoint:

The league’s firm position remains clear: the championship must be decided on the court, with players and coaches as the true protagonists, not in courtrooms or council chambers. Respecting the law, ensuring the safety of fans, and adhering to government decisions are paramount.

In this spirit, Melis and Rentzias reaffirmed their commitment during their meeting with Minister Vroutsis: they expressed the strong desire of the Board of Directors and the teams of GBL to continue the Finals and to conclude the season smoothly and competitively. They also presented all relevant data and highlighted the issues that could arise if the championship is prematurely halted.

The Call for a Fair Finish

The leadership of GBL is determined to see the games decided where they belong—in the arena. They call on authorities to prioritize sportsmanship and fair play, ensuring that the best team wins on the court, not through legal or administrative decisions. The message is loud and clear: let the players settle the battle in the gym, and finish what was started with integrity and passion.
