OFI

Reasons To Adopt

Here is the argument for OFI: Greece, Europe UEFA Europa League, and a ground called Pankritio Stadium. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Europe UEFA Europa League means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Greece becomes part of your week.

• Old enough to matter

  1925 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.

• Something to defend

  The cabinet is not empty: Shared record. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Proper ground

  Pankritio Stadium takes roughly 26,240, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
