Here is a detailed account of what he says:
«Friends of AEK"
Tomorrow, Saturday, marks one of the most beautiful days for all of us. A historic day, a day full of symbolism and intense emotions. The Athletic Union of Constantinople is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Our AEK is marking its first century, and we’ll all celebrate together on the hallowed grounds of Nea Filadelfia—inside and around our home.
A big celebration with you—the heart and soul of AEK, its fans—taking center stage. The celebration’s program includes a series of activities for young and old alike, and of course, there will be plenty of surprises.
We’ll start at 2:00 p.m., and the part of the event taking place outside the OPAP Arena will last until 5:00 p.m. However, the gates to our stadium will open at 4:00 p.m., so that anyone with a free admission ticket for the celebration who wants to get their seat early can do so.
Inside the OPAP Arena, AEK fans will be able to witness the highlight of the grand celebration: the launch of the AEK 100th Anniversary Hot Air Balloon. The launch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. and will be preceded by other activities and surprises inside the arena.
Joining us will be our team, as well as the great figures from AEK’s history—its living legends.
We would like to ask you to come to Nea Filadelfia as early as possible so that you can enjoy this great celebration and enter the stadium without any hassle.
We would also like to ask you not to use fireworks, smoke bombs, or flares inside the stadium. There is a flight procedure with safety rules, and we all need to do our part.
It’s also very important that we all stay away from any attempt to approach the field. AEK has a very important match against Aris on Sunday, and we must not create any problems. So let’s stay in the stands and enjoy the big celebration from there.
Happy Birthday, AEK!
»See you at Our House in Nea Filadelfia!"
