The Panathinaikos football club has formally requested the immediate resignation of all members of the KED (Committee of Ethics and Disciplinary) and EOK (Ethical and Disciplinary Office) within the Greek Football Association (EFA). This demand was made during a meeting of the club’s board with the EFA’s disciplinary committee. The club cited concerns over the integrity and fairness of the disciplinary processes, arguing that the current leadership of these bodies has failed to uphold the necessary standards.
The club’s statement emphasized that the KED and EOK have not been operating in accordance with the established rules and that their decisions have been inconsistent and biased. Panathinaikos also pointed to a lack of transparency in the disciplinary procedures, which it claims has led to unfair treatment of players and officials. The club’s legal team has been instructed to prepare formal complaints against the current members of the KED and EOK, which could result in their removal from their positions.
This is not the first time Panathinaikos has raised concerns about the disciplinary bodies in Greek football. In previous seasons, the club has criticized the handling of disciplinary cases and called for reforms. However, this latest move marks a more direct and formal challenge to the leadership of the KED and EOK. The situation has intensified following a recent match where the club felt its players were unfairly penalized, leading to a loss. The club is now pushing for a complete overhaul of the disciplinary system to ensure fairer and more transparent decision-making.
