  • Olympiacos CFP V Rosenborg BK
    Olympiacos CFP v Rosenborg BK Georgios Karaiskakis - Athens Tuesday, 13 September 2005 - 20:45 (CET) Group stage - Group F - Matchday 1 Match officials Referee Stefano Farina (ITA) Assistant referees Andrea Consolo (ITA), Massimo Biasutto (ITA) Fourth official Enrico Rocchi (ITA) UEFA delegate Barry Taylor (ENG) Match preview Olympiacos set greater goals Having gone tantalisingly close to reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League last season, Olympiacos CFP hope to "show their true colours" this term and progress from the group stage for only the second time in ten attempts. 'Early goal' The Greek champions begin their Group F campaign at home to Rosenborg BK on Tuesday with coach Trond Sollied calling on his side to make an early impression ahead of likely tougher tests against Real Madrid CF and Olympique Lyonnais. "There are 18 points up for grabs in the group and we must take as many as we can from each match," said Sollied, a former Rosenborg coach and player whose last experience of Champions League football was at the helm of Club Brugge KV. "If we can get an early goal [on Tuesday] it will certainly boost our chances." False dawns Olympiacos are well used to false dawns in Europe, although they were unlucky not to advance with their tally of ten points in Group A last season. At half-time on Matchday 6 they led Liverpool FC 1-0, and were still on course for the first knockout round at 2-1 down with four minutes to play when Steven Gerrard struck a stunning winner to propel the English team towards the next stage (and eventual glory) and the Piraeus outfit into the UEFA Cup.

  • Leaflet Associazione Polisportive
    SEVERAL SPORTS, DIFFERENT NATIONS, ONE MISSION. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination”. Nelson Mandela, Laureus World Sports Awards (2000). The Association Our members are Multisport Clubs, i.e. clubs that promote several sport disciplines, both professional and grass-roots, within the same organization and denomination. The association involves nowadays 14 multisport Clubs form 12 countries who represent, all together, a major segment of the European Sport system (with thousands of titles ranging from Olympic medals to continental, national and youth titles) and mobilize hundreds of thousands of athletes, coaches, managers and millions of supporters, on a weekly basis. The Mission Recalling the principles and guidelines of the EU strategy on sport, Multisport clubs promote : ✓ sustainability, through a strengthened cooperation between professional and grass-roots disciplines ✓ fight against discrimination, while promoting disciplines that are often considered “minor” in Europe but are indeed very popular in different countries, thus enrolling numerous foreign nationals ✓ social inclusion while promoting disciplines in the framework of both Paralympic and Special Olympic Games ✓ fair play, disseminating among the respective supporters an “active” practice of sport with the club’s denomination, thus tackling the potential of violence and intolerance that unfortunately harms the purity of sport and re-conciliating families with sport events “I would like to congratulate you for this important step of setting up the European Association.

    AC Milan v FC Barcelona MATCH PRESS KIT Giuseppe Meazza, Milan Tuesday, 18 April 2006 - 20:45 CET Semi-finals - Matchday 11 AC Milan have never lost a UEFA Champions League semi-final and the Rossoneri will want to extend that sequence to five successes when they welcome FC Barcelona to San Siro for the first of what should be two enthralling encounters between superpowers of the European game. Goals galore · The Italian club will hope to lay the foundations for a second successive appearance in the final of Europe©s leading club competition by maintaining their imperious home form. They saw off FC Bayern München and then Olympique Lyonnais in the knockout rounds with second-leg victories by 4-1 and 3-1 respectively at San Siro. None of the other semi-finalists boast such potent results on home soil. · In this season©s tournament they have scored 13 goals in five games at San Siro, bagging three on three occasions and four on another. Since losing two home fixtures in the 2003/04 group stage, they have won 12 of 13 matches on their own turf with PSV Eindhoven, in this season©s group, the only visitors to escape unbeaten. Lyon fright · However, Milan did not arrive at this stage without an almighty fright in their quarter-final against Lyon. They were within two minutes of elimination on away goals when Filippo Inzaghi struck for the second time on the night to take his tally to four in this season©s competition. That puts him five behind Andriy Shevchenko who tops the UEFA Champions League scoring chart with nine.
