The Drama of Greek Football ft. Theofilos Pouliopoulos
Update: 2025-03-10
Description
This week, Guy speaks with Theofilos Pouliopoulos, a project manager and sports consultant with deep expertise in Greek football. Theo unpacks the social origins of Greece’s football clubs and how politics has shaped the game—from the 1967-74 dictatorship to democracy and the post-financial crisis era. He explains why the Greek government intervened in football governance, leading to tensions with UEFA and FIFA and the absence of a legacy following Greece's 2004 Euros victory. The conversation also delves into race, Greece’s shifting demographics, and the evolving landscape of women’s football in the country.
