"When we announced to the
players that our sponsor would be a brothel, they wanted to know about
bonuses," Voukefala president Giannis Batziolas told NovaSport FM radio
station Wednesday with humour.
Batziolas complained that
everyone had turned their backs on amateur football and that the club had no
choice but to resort to an unconventional backer.
"The proposal was made
strickly for economic reasons. As soon as the offer was made, we couldn't turn
it down," Baziolas said.
He stressed that the brothel in
question is "a legal enterprise valued at two million euros."
Baziolas said that the brothel
will be advertised on the players' jerseys throughout the season.
As for Paleopyrgo the situation
is the same, lack of funds forcing the team to make a deal with the local
funeral home.
"It was a matter of
survival. The owner of the funeral home is a friend and we agreed,"
Paleopyrgo general manager and player Lefteris Vasiliou told NovaSport FM.
"The previous season was
very difficult for us with the economic crisis. We did not have a sponsor for
the last three years.
For this season, the team's
players will be wearing black jerseys with a large cross in the center bearing
the name of the new sponsor.
"I showed the players the
jersey and they liked it. We know have people requesting us to produce more
jerseys," Vasiliou said.
