The announcement of the team of Liopetri:

1. We express our disappointment for the decision of the Athletic Judge of the KOP which brings a huge financial blow to our Association since in numbers the penalty translates into tens of thousands of euros.

2. Our frustration stems from the fact that we were essentially convicted on the basis of evidence of possible involvement of the Association in match-fixing. There is no proof. Indications only. We present to you the reasoning of the Sports Judge of KOP as it was made public so that everyone can draw their own conclusions. Στην "In this case, UEFA in its report states that there are indications that the Barn team may be involved in the manipulation of the match. "Although the KOP requested further clarification, unfortunately UEFA did not provide any other information while remaining in the initial position for possible fault of the Barn."…

3. We make it clear once again that we have absolutely nothing to do with betting on the above game and we condemn any illegal betting activity.

4. We are deeply troubled and frustrated by the way the whole process works, which often tarnishes the name of an Association without tangible evidence but only suspicion.

5. In essence, the Associations become the pawn of the betting companies.

6. Both the agents of the Association and the footballers declare that they are ready to cooperate with the KOP, the police as well as with all the competent bodies for the clarification of the case.
