Aris Seizes Super League Lead as PAOK, AEK, Olympiakos All Lose
Weekend results in the Greek Super League left Aris alone at the top while PAOK, AEK Athens and Olympiakos all lost, with additional action in Euroleague basketball and tennis at OAKA.
How we reported this
Aris is the sole leader of the Greek Super League with 18 points after drawing 1-1 with Panathinaikos at Athens' Olympic Stadium on Sunday. PAOK, AEK Athens, and Olympiakos all lost their weekend Super League matches, with PAOK losing 2-1 to OFI, AEK losing 1-0 to Panserraikos, and Olympiakos losing 1-0 to Asteras Tripolis. No Athens top-three team scored a win during the weekend Super League round.
Super League Round Outcomes
The draw at the Olympic Stadium gave Aris clear separation in the standings. The three defeats suffered by PAOK, AEK Athens and Olympiakos occurred away from Athens and removed any chance of an Athens club claiming the top spot this round. These results leave the league table headed by a team based outside the capital for the first time in the current campaign.
Euroleague Basketball Matches
In Euroleague basketball, Olympiakos defeated Armani Milano in Piraeus while Panathinaikos lost to Paris Basketball, giving both Greek teams a 2-1 record. The win for Olympiakos came on home territory in Piraeus, while Panathinaikos played its match on the road. Both clubs therefore sit level on wins after three rounds of the competition.
Tennis at Olympic Stadium
Tennis events at Athens' Olympic Stadium (OAKA) include the Athens Open finals on Sunday, July 19, 2026, following semi-finals on Saturday, July 18. The venue that hosted the Super League match on Sunday will switch to tennis for the remainder of the weekend. Spectators can follow the conclusion of the tournament across the two days at the same facility.
The weekend schedule combined domestic football, European basketball and an international tennis event at the same landmark stadium complex. Fans in Athens had the opportunity to track multiple Greek clubs across different sports without leaving the city. The outcomes on the field this week set the immediate context for the next round of fixtures and the tennis final scheduled the following day.
