Your official English source for Olympiakos FC and Greek Super League football. Hosted by Peter Thompson, Lambros Syrmos, Aristidis Bouloubassis, and Costa Levoyannis.
Listeners of Gate 7 International Podcast that love the show mention: guys, great, olympiakos, greek football, olympiacos, paok fans.
The Gate 7 International Podcast is a must-listen for fans of Olympiacos and Greek football in general, especially for those living in America. As an Olympiacos fan myself, I understand the struggle of getting updates and news about our beloved team from so far away. However, this podcast fills that void perfectly. The hosts are all very insightful and well-versed on Olympiacos, providing a mix of statistics and personal opinions that make for engaging discussions.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' dedication to their craft. They genuinely care about what they do and it shines through in their episodes. Their passion for Greek football is evident as they analyze games, discuss tactics, and provide updates on player performances. It's clear that they have done their research and are committed to delivering accurate information to their listeners.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its accessibility. Being based in America, it can be challenging to find English sources for news about Olympiacos or Greek football in general. The Gate 7 International Podcast solves that problem by offering English content specifically tailored to fans like myself. It's refreshing to have a podcast that caters to non-Greek speakers who still want to follow their favorite team.
However, one minor criticism of this podcast is the hosts' tendency to talk about PAOK more than necessary. While it's understandable that they may have personal preferences outside of Olympiacos, some listeners might find it distracting or off-putting when the focus shifts too much towards another team. It would be better if they could strike a balance between discussing different teams while still keeping the primary focus on Olympiacos.
In conclusion, The Gate 7 International Podcast is an excellent addition to the world of Greek football podcasts. Its niche appeal as an English-language source for Olympiacos news makes it stand out among other offerings that are primarily in Greek. The hosts' dedication, insights, and humor make for an enjoyable listening experience, even if there is the occasional diversion into discussions about other teams. Overall, I highly recommend this podcast to any Olympiacos fan or a fan of Greek football looking for English content.
Olympiacos had a difficult afternoon away at Levadiakos. When it seemed like we would drop points again in the league, Freuler finds Saliakas far post and the red white world breathed a sigh of relief. 2 wins in a row going into the international break and a chance for Aguacil to really have time to implement his shapes and philosophy.
Olympiacos can never make it easy on us. After going down in the 1st half the red & white dial up the pressure and bring it home with both of our strikers finding the back of the net. Aguacil gets his first win since taking over and Olympiacos gets 3 points in the Europa League League Phase. Ari reacts to the win and what it means for the team, the fans, the players, the organization, and the project!
Olympiacos fall to OFI at home for the 1st time for almost 36 years. Karaiskaki chanted Mendilibar's name as the team clearly looked disjoined with few days under the new coach direction. Will the fans and the club have the patience required for Aguacil to instill his philosophy?
EMERGENCY PODCAST Olympiacos have parted ways with the coach that made history and brought the dream of European nights. While Mendilibar's last season left a lot to be desired and the football was unpalatable, the timing of this announcement raises concerns. Did Olympiacos make the right decision? Was Mendilibar given proper time to react to El Kaabi injury? What about the new manager Imanol Alguacil? We discuss the BREAKING news here!
Ari reacts to events both on and off the field following Olympiacos's 3-2 win against Volos. The game was more difficult than it needed to be but there's plenty of positives to take away from the game. Outside of the game, are there more ominous signs to concern us?

Olympiacos dropped points against Volos on Matchday 3 but the result was completely overshadowed by the serious injury suffered by Ayoub El Kaabi.The scenes were difficult to watch, with El Kaabi going down in agony and players from both sides visibly shocked. For Olympiacos, this is a huge blow involving one of the defining players of the club's modern era; the striker whose goals helped lead the team to its first European trophy in 2024.Tonight we react to everything from a dramatic night:Ayoub El Kaabi's injury and what it could mean for OlympiacosThe 1-1 draw against Volos and why Olympiacos dropped pointsJosé Luis Mendilibar's starting XI and tactical decisionsWhat happens now with the European squad listThe referee and the major talking points from the gameDo we need another centre forward now?Whether this moment can become a rallying cry for the squad?Can adversity bring this Olympiacos team together and ignite the season?

A disappointing defeat away at NEC as Olympiacos settle with a relegation to Europa League.

UCL Qualifiers are HERE! The 1st leg against NEC Nijmegen is this week and Olympiacos is still in the midst of transfer movement. The arrivals of Sa and Ortega have continued to reinforce the roster but more outgoings and struggles bringing players in continue to hamper positivity. Today we're talking about NEC Nijmegen, Sa, both Ortegas, and the moves we still have yet to make this summer.
A lot is happening with 9 days before UCL qualifiers. Olympiacos is losing their starting goalkeeper, possibly selling Andre Luiz for a record fee while still missing core pieces . Nijmegen waits around the corner and the team has not impressed much in preseason. With injuries throughout the squad, a potential Jose Sa return, and the arrival of a #8 expected, what is our outlook for UCL?
It's been a wild week and weekend for Olympiacos fans as a "marquee" signing that we have been waiting for since beginning of the summer had his deal collapse at the end.

Joel Roca will arrive from Girona for an over €5 million fee with Giannoulis still a potential option and other signings still needed. Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts on Petar Stanic's deal collapse and Joel Roca!
Olympiacos are back for 2026/27 and the first preseason friendly already gave us plenty to talk about.We were in Holland to watch Olympiacos beat Raków 2–1 after going behind, with Kostas Fortounis scoring a trademark free-kick and Roman Yaremchuk completing the comeback in stoppage time.In this video: first impressions from Olympiacos' opening preseason match, Rodinei's sharp return, Pablo Maffeo's first minutes, Clayton's struggles, Scipioni and Mouzakitis in midfield, the Yaremchuk striker question, and why Fortounis could be one of the most important “signings” of the summer.
The first preseason training sessions have completed with phase one continuing this week. Transfers continue to flow with Zinedin Smajlovic arriving to reinforce the backling and Jota Silva and Joel Roca expected to join preseason this week. Things are moving along but there's still plenty more transfer action ahead of us!
