Fasoulas Warns EOK Over Election Impartiality

Panagiotis Fasoulas, a candidate in the presidential election of the Greek Basketball Federation (EOK), sent a letter addressed to the federation's Board of Directors, and also forwarded it to the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Sport. In the letter, which concerns the call for the extraordinary general assembly dated 10 November 2026, he argues that the impartiality of the election has become questionable.

According to Fasoulas, the law is being applied for the first time. Under it, the election will be held in person, club representatives will have to attend personally, and voting by proxy will not be permitted. The law provides that the list of clubs' voting rights be approved by the General Sports Secretariat, based on the E KOUROS registration system, a few days before the general assembly. However, the fact that representatives can be appointed or changed until just before the general assembly begins at Megaro Mousikis on Sunday morning, 20 December 2026, removes this guarantee.

The questions the candidate has asked are clear: Who will verify the identity and legal qualifications of the representatives, and in what capacity? Who will prepare the voter list, including identity document details, and when will candidates be able to view and check it? Fasoulas states that unless these questions are answered, the impartiality of the election is at risk under the responsibility of the federation's management.
