Which Football Team Do Greek Fans Support the Most?

With a percentage of 28%, Olympiacos is still the most well-liked football team in Greece, closely followed by Panathinaikos (26%). The third place is taken by PAOK, then AEK. But, which of these has a large following on social media?

The ‘everlasting’ issue of which football club Greek supporters prefer has been answered by OPEN TV’s extensive study on the nation’s football. The OPEN sports program Total Football showcased the results of the country’s first significant football survey. In a sampling of 2,000 people across Greece, the preferred side of men and women as well as by age is revealed along with the club that football fans typically support.

Additionally, responses to OPEN’s extensive survey are provided regarding what sports fans think about the dependability of Greek football and the Super League, the value of VAR, and the introduction of foreign match officials, as well as the decisions made by Lefteris Avgenakis, the Deputy Minister of Sports. We will not display all survey results but only those in a tight connection with the play itself.

With a percentage of 28%, Olympiacos continues to be the most well-liked team in Greece, while Panathinaikos is close behind with 26%. In comparison to earlier surveys, PAOK, a third force, exhibits a notable increase in both the territory (18%) and the regions of Thrace and Macedonia, where it conveniently attains self-reliance with an impressive 59%, building on the extremely significant victories of the previous five years, including the winning of a championship and three cups. AEK, which also displays a little gain in its fan base following the 2018 championship, is in fourth place with 13%, while Aris is in fifth place with 3%.

Even if most supporters pay close attention to what is occurring in the Super League, it is crucial that they have a poor impression of the Greek league even though they regularly bet on it through Greek betting sites. In contrast to Deputy Minister Lefteris Avgenakis, whose rulings are often viewed as being incorrect, even by supporters of New Democracy, the VAR and the international referees have gained the faith of the majority of fans.

The research echo is that the first major research on football in Greece in many years illustrated the very great enthusiasm for the sport, which is a strong life custom and, at the same time, a ‘commodity’ of high commercial value. Despite the bad assessment of the Super League championship by surveyees, football can broaden its appeal in Greek culture given its wide social base and attractiveness to vibrant teams. The State must make the appropriate decisions, in addition to the bodies in charge of managing it.
