The Peace and Friendship Stadium hosted a special guest on Wednesday night as Olympiacos faced Zalgiris Kaunas — U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Guilfoyle attended the EuroLeague matchup seated alongside Olympiacos owners Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos, who offered her a warm welcome and a symbolic gift: an Olympiacos jersey bearing her name and the legendary No. 7.
The gesture holds deep significance for the club. In September 2023, during an emotional ceremony at SEF, Olympiacos officially retired Vassilis Spanoulis’ No. 7, raising it to the rafters as the first jersey ever immortalised in the club’s history.
That historic night cemented Spanoulis’ place in “red and white” eternity — and the Ambassador’s commemorative jersey directly reflects that legacy.
