A nation mourned on Thursday as the bodies of seven PAOK football fans, who tragically died in a traffic accident in Romania, returned to Greece. The funeral procession and tribute at Thessaloniki’s Toumba Stadium drew thousands of grieving supporters, marking a deeply emotional farewell. Candles and flowers were placed at Toumba Stadium, including by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, symbolizing the collective hope that such tragedies never occur again. PAOK fan clubs, from Imathia to other regions, observed moments of silence and called out the names of the lost supporters. Similar tributes took place in the Greek Parliament, while international fan communities, including in Amsterdam, expressed solidarity through banners and messages.
