Dorkofikis: EOK management should resign en masse

Perikles Dorkofikis, one of Greece's former basketball players, is among the new members of the board of the Hellenic Basketball Federation (EOK). However, despite taking up his post, Dorkofikis openly stated that the current management should resign in full.

Recent developments within the federation have led to changes in management. After Vangelis Liolios left his post, Angelos Papanikolaou became the new president of the federation. Liolios had announced that he would step away from his basketball duties while the matter was being reviewed legally.

Dorkofikis is a well-known name from his years playing for Olympiakos and AEK. In the 2025 elections, Dorkofikis was on Panagiotis Fasoulas' list. In his statement, he argued that the interests of the clubs and of the sport should come before personal strategies and power struggles. The former player, who said he is at odds with the current management, stated that he does not agree with its approach or how it operates.

Dorkofikis called on the state to take responsibility in this process. He said that Deputy Minister of Sports Yannis Vroutsis should act as an institutional guarantor, and he asked that a new management be formed within the framework of legal procedures and that this happen through a transparent election.
