Where Will the 400,000 Euro Fine of Hliopoulos Go?

Mario Hliopoulos, owner of AEK, imposed a 400,000 euro fine on the team's players after their elimination from the Greek Cup by OFI. The fine will only be paid if AEK fails to win its next three league matches against Panathinaikos, Asteras Aktors and Olympiacos. If the fine is imposed, a portion of it will be donated to Amateur AEK to financially support its departments. The remaining amount will be given to a charitable organization chosen by OFI. This move by Mario Hliopoulos aims to motivate the players and recover the team after the elimination, as well as to strengthen AEK's social responsibility.
