PAOK B

PAOK FC (, Πανθεσσαλονίκειος Αθλητικός Όμιλος Κωνσταντινουπολιτών, Panthessaloníkios Athlitikós Ómilos Konstadinoupolitón, "Pan-Thessalonian Athletic Club of Constantinopolitans") is a Greek professional football club based in Thessaloniki, Macedonia.

Founded in 2021, it is the reserve team of PAOK, and currently plays in Super League Greece 2, holding its home matches at the Makedonikos Stadium.

Reserve teams in Greece play in the same league system as the senior team, rather than in a reserve team league. They must play at least one level below their main side, and thus PAOK B are ineligible for promotion to Super League Greece. They also cannot play in the Greek Cup.

Overview All players will be able to move up and down in the first team, which means that if an injured player wants to prepare better, he will play in the second team and then return to the first team. B Teams will normally participate in all competitive activities. They will not have the right to be promoted to the same category as the first team, but they will normally participate in the playoffs and playouts, but not in the Cup, where they will not have the right to participate. While, of course, if they occupy low places in the standings, they will be relegated like all teams.Είναι επίσημο: Στη Super League 2 με Β’ ομάδες Ολυμπιακός, ΠΑΟ, ΑΕΚ, ΠΑΟΚ – Ολες οι λεπτομέρειες | in.gr

History Founded in 2021, became PAOK FC' reserve team and began to play home games at Makedonikos Stadium. The team is intended to be the final step between PAOK Academy and the first team, and is usually made up of promising youngsters between the age of 18 and 23, with five or six players over that age to provide experience.

The team's first appearance in the Super League 2 came in 2021 at the north group of the division, forming a squad of players that were part mainly from the youth academy and players that were loaned out the last season with small experience in professional football. With the same sceptical the coaching staff was formed the same way, with members from lower structure of the club like Mirosław Sznaucner, Theocharis Komsis and Vasilios Petropoulos finishing in the 8th position.

Last season for Pablo Garcia in charge, PAOK B finished in the 5th position of the table making a great job and promoting young players to the first team like Stefanos Tzimas, Konstantinos Koulierakis and many others. Vladimir Bradonjić scored 11 goals making him top goalscorer of the season for the club and earning a transfer to Ethnikos Achna. The departure of Pablo Garcia left a void at the helm of PAOK B, with Alexis Alexiadis replacing the Uruguayan coach. The "black and whites" announced the start of its collaboration with the Greek coach, who until recently was in the infrastructure departments of Dikefalos.https://www.paok24.com/podosfairo/436358/kai-episima-proponitis-ston-paok-v-o-alexiadis/Και επίσημα προπονητής στον ΠΑΟΚ Β ο Αλεξιάδης! | https://www.paok24.com

With a renewed roster, PAOK B' will be presented in the new season 2024/25 in the Super League 2 championship, while within the framework of the changes, there will also be changes on the team's bench. More specifically, on Saturday (20/07), the Dikephalos of the North made an announcement, through which it was announced that the positions of its former coach, Alexis Alexiadis and his direct partner, Thanasis Terzis, are now being taken over by Apostolis Papavasileiou and Dimitris Taxidis. PAOK's announcement in detail: PAOK warmly thanks and wishes a good continuation in their careers to the team's previous coach Alexis Alexiadis and his partner Thanasis Terzis, who took over PAOK B in a transitional, difficult stage and in a demanding process (play offs, play outs) of the championship".https://www.sport24.gr/football/paok-telos-apo-ton-pagko-tis-v-omadas-o-alexiadis-neoi-proponites-oi-papavasileiou-kai-taxidis/Αλλαγή σκυτάλης στον πάγκο της Β' ομάδας ανακοίνωσε ο ΠΑΟΚ, καθώς τη θέση των Αλέξη Αλεξιάδη και του συνεργάτη του Θανάση Τερζή αναλαμβάνουν οι Αποστόλης Παπαβασιλείου και Δημήτρης Ταξίδης. | https://www.sport24.gr

Stadium

Makedonikos Stadium is a football stadium located in Thessaloniki, Greece. It is home to Makedonikos FC and PAOK B.

At the beginning PAOK B was supposed to play at Kaftanzoglio Stadium but "Dikefalos" talk about an unacceptable contract stating that another seat will be sought for the first team. The announcement in detail:

"After the unacceptable final contract sent by the administration of Kaftantzogleio Stadium for signing to PAOK FC, which violates every previous discussion and oral agreement, by order of the president, Ivan Savvidis, PAOK B does not intend to play in Kaftanzogleio. The delay in the sending of the contract, and its sending just 5 days before the start of SL2 with subdued conditions, was done deliberately so that PAOK FC could be trapped. However, the team of PAOK B 'will play at the stadium of Makedonikos and the necessary actions have already been taken for the change of headquarters.

Apollon Kalamaria's stadium will be used by PAOK B' for the 2025/26 season in the Super League 2 championship. The Kalamaria team made the news known with an official announcement stressing that a collaboration between the two Thessaloniki teams is also starting. "Apollon Kalamarias announces by order of the Board of Directors, President Fotis Baltidis, the cooperation that begins with PAOK, after having negotiated and evaluated the benefit of the two big teams of Thessaloniki, Apollon Kalamarias and PAOK. We will host PAOK B in our stadium for their matches in Super League 2. As an exception, Apollon Kalamarias announces that Gate 2 of the Apollon Kalamarias stadium, which is used by his fans and the Rossoneri during the matches played by PAOK B, will remain closed.".
