Tsipras Keeps Promise, Attends Panathinaikos Match with Son

Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras attended Panathinaikos' match against Ferencvaros in Budapest alongside his son. The trip to Hungary was a fulfillment of a long-standing promise to his son, to experience a European game together. Tsipras and his son traveled to Budapest by plane, accompanied by friends of the 'clover' team. Their presence at the stadium was a purely family and fan-driven gesture, separate from any political obligations. This demonstrates Tsipras' love for Panathinaikos and his desire to share significant moments with his son, combining a passion for football with family life. The former Prime Minister's presence in the stands added a special atmosphere to the match and highlighted the broad appeal of Panathinaikos within Greek society.
