“The structure of February 1, 2022 – In the name of the moose” was “born” a few days after the murder of a 19-year-old teenager that shocked Greece. Today it has 300 members from Greece and abroad, men and women of all ages and professions, fans and followers of different teams, as well as citizens who were shocked by this event.

At a press conference held today by the members of In the Name of the Elk in the Thessaloniki City Council Hall, they spoke in detail about the actions they are organizing in the coming period, culminating in a commemorative march.

As stated by President Lefteris Papas and members Alexandros Tsibilis and Eleni Kolligas, in their official request dated September 2022, they asked the Greek state to declare February 1st a pan-Hellenic day of the fan/fan. In addition, a large mural on the theme of Alkis and coexistence will be created in the courtyard of a primary school in the municipality of Kalamaria, and a public call was made to all fans and followers to take pictures in the insignia of the teams they belong to. love together with colleagues from other teams.

Among the actions is the composition of a new song for Alkis and a video clip for it. At the same time, a video was presented in which top football players such as André Vieirania of PAOK, Julián Cuesta of ARIS and Sergio Araujo of AEK, wearing orange T-shirts with the image of Alka, addressed messages in Greek against violence by fans.

“A few days after the murder, we told Alka’s parents what we wanted to do. His father asked us “why?”. We put our hearts on the table and he wanted to take part too. So we started. We know that what we do is hard. We are from different places who give our free time, some do not play sports, but the murders hurt them and other sports fans and fans who love their teams and want fan violence to stop,” Mr. Papas said.

The goal of the structure, created in May 2022, is based on three axes, as stated in the press conference: not to forget Alkis, to be close to the victims of fan violence, and to change the culture of the fans. So far, Araucho has been awarded for celebrating in the ARIS-AEK match, where he formed the letter “A” with his fingers in memory of the 19-year-old boy, as well as the cartoonist Christos Papanikos and the Panaitolikos team. for the shocking banner showing Titormos holding the hands of a dead ARIS fan.
