Valencia to deny Dimitris Giannakopoulos entry for Game 5 against Panathinaikos

Valencia Basket will not allow Dimitris Giannakopoulos to enter Roig Arena for Game 5 against Panathinaikos.
The Greek club owner still has to serve the third game of his EuroLeague arena ban.

According to Marca, Valencia intend to enforce the sanction imposed on the Panathinaikos owner, who was fined €10,000 and banned for three games after his behavior toward referees during Game 2.

Giannakopoulos had publicly asked Valencia to request permission for him to attend the decisive matchup: “I hope Valencia now submit a request so I can watch Game 5.” The Spanish club, however, will not do so.

Security at Roig Arena, especially around VIP and official access areas, will be reinforced to prevent any possible entry attempt. If Giannakopoulos violates the ban, he could face an additional fine ranging from €30,000 to €280,000.
