Olympiacos Retires Legend Georgios Printezis' Jersey
The Greek club pays tribute to Printezis and hangs his jersey at the top of their arena in an event where nothing was missing.
On September 6, one of the most exciting moments of Georgios Printezis's sports career took place at the Pireo. The Olympiacos legend for 17 seasons, he is an icon of the Euroleague, having lifted the trophy 4 times (2 of them consecutively in the 2012 and 2013 seasons) alongside fellow legend Vassilis Spanoulis, whom he now shares the spotlight with at the Peace and Friendship Stadium.
Printezis was also a key player in domestic competitions, contributing to 4 league titles (2012, 2015, 2016, and 2022) and 2 cups (2011 and 2012) for Olympiacos. His performances with the Greek national team were crucial, earning a bronze in the 2009 Eurobasket.
The event featured a friendly match between Olympiacos and Maccabi Tel Aviv, concluding with a gala dinner attended by many international basketball VIPs.
From now on, the legendary Greek Printezis's number 15 will witness all the club's future successes alongside the number 7 of his teammate and fellow legend Vassilis Spanoulis.
The fans and all the dignitaries present immortalized the moment the player's jersey was hung high in the arena. In Pireo, this moment is already being referred to as a historical milestone to remember.
