Volos FC owner Achilleas Beos alleges betting irregularities following match against AEK

On September 20, 2026, AEK Athens defeated Volos FC with a score of 2-1 at the Panthessaliko Stadium. Following the match, the owner of Volos, Achilleas Beos, publicly alleged that the match result was manipulated and claimed that millions of euros were wagered on an AEK victory. Beos explicitly criticized the officiating by referee Polychronis and VAR official Tzilos, labeling the penalty awarded to AEK's Jovic as a "fake" decision that resembled officiating practices from the 1990s or 2000s.

In subsequent statements on September 21, Beos declared his intention to file a formal complaint with the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office, seeking an investigation into potential illegal betting activities involving the match officials. He further asserted that he had discussed the incident with AEK coach Marko Nikolic, who allegedly admitted that the penalty call was incorrect. Beos stated he plans to pursue the matter legally to the end, emphasizing that the integrity of Greek football has been compromised by these events.
