The Erythrolefki have shown time and time again why they are a European powerhouse in various different sports. This week could be special, as they have the possibility to win three European titles between April 11 and April 14.
The men’s volleyball team is competing in the final of the CEV Challenge Cup. They fell away 3-1 to Ravenna, but they will have a chance to turn it around in the second leg and become European Champions. That match will be played in Piraeus on April 11, at the Peace and Friendship Stadium (SEF). Olympiacos are looking for their third European trophy in men’s volleyball.
The women’s volleyball team is competing in the final of the CEV Women’s Challenge Cup. They lost a close first leg 2-3 at home against Bursa, and will now have to win away in Turkey in the second leg, which will take place on April 11. If they can pull off the upset, they will win Olympiacos’ first-ever European title in women’s volleyball.
The women’s water polo team is competing in the Women’s LEN Trophy Final Four. They will travel to Spain to play against Italy’s Padova on April 13. If they win, they will compete in the championship game the following day. They are seeking their fourth overall European title in women’s water polo.
It should also be noted that Olympiacos’ men’s water polo team is currently in first place in their group in the LEN Champions League, and will have a massive opportunity to win it all in June. Olympiacos’ men’s basketball team has also advanced to the Euroleague quarter finals and will be looking for their first title since 2013, after being finalists in 2015 and 2017.
