History
Cultural rivalry
The rivalry between the two Greek clubs can be traced to a rivalry between the cities Athens and Thessaloniki. Olympiacos from the port of Athens, Piraeus, and PAOK from the capital of Macedonia, are the most popular clubs in the two largest Greek cities respectively, thus their rivalry reflects more than any other the intercity rivalry.
Thessalonians feel that Athens has consistently been favored by the Greek State over their city and the fans of Thessalonian teams consider their Athenian rivals, the so called P.O.K., the main reason that their teams have been marginalized.[1] As far as the Olympiacos and PAOK rivalry is concerned, the situation became worse in the 1960s, when the all-time best player of PAOK, Giorgos Koudas, decided to move to Olympiacos. PAOK fans rose in outrage and protested against the Athenian power which once again seemed to harm their club and the transfer was prevented.
Football rivalry
Olympiacos and PAOK are traditional rivals in other sports as well, mainly in basketball, and secondly in volleyball and water polo. As for their football history, after the "Koudas incident", PAOK fans became so hostile against the team from Piraeus that games at PAOK became the most difficult away games for Olympiacos to win and the Reds had a 21-year period without a single win at Toumba Stadium (including three matches which had been played in neutral grounds) and only two wins in 33 matches in the period 1966–1998. On the other hand, at Olympiacos the last longer period without a win for PAOK, is a 14 years period(1989-2003).
Another aspect of this rivalry except the "Koudas incident". The period after 1997 was a resurgence of this rivalry because of bad arbitrations in games among Olympiacos and PAOK. PAOK claimed many times that refereeing helped Olympiacos. The consequence of this was PAOK fans to protest violent against referees and Olympiacos, proceeding vandalism. Perhaps the most characteristic match was in 2000 at Toumba with referee Giorgos Kasnaferis. PAOK from 39' played with 10 players after 2 yellow cards showned to Georgiadis for diving. PAOK claimed that were both penalties and also complained for two more penalties and some offsides. The fact is that from 1998 to 2010 Olympiacos was unbeaten in Toumba stadium.
Supporters rivalry
Olympiacos and PAOK fans are known for their violent tactics against each other. As in most football rivalries in Greece, injuries and often deaths are not rare. Particularly over the last two years[when?] and since the new owner of Olympiacos took over, violence erupts very often. In addition, the new owner of Olympiacos is accused[by whom?] for fixing game results in order to gain huge amounts of money from betting via the Internet with their laptops in the games, while thousands of fans attacked each other, destroyed public property and often killed one another. This seems to be the case with all the major football clubs of Greece. Corruption is high; fixing games and using their fans like armies has helped some of these people gain political influence and financial benefits.[citation needed]
