Spanoulis' jersey will be the first that will hang in the rafters of the Peace and Friendship Stadium, thus honoring the legendary Greek guard for changing the course of the Piraeus team.

Olympiacos co-owner Panagiotis Angelopoulos previously mentioned to SPORT24 that the celebration was planned earlier since Spanoulis retired in the summer of 2021.

However, the big ceremony had been postponed due to COVID-19 and the tight schedule due to FIBA EuroBasket 2022.

The 40-year-old Spanoulis played for the Reds from 2010 to 2021, winning two EuroLeague titles, the EuroLeague MVP award, and three Greek league trophies, among many other accomplishments.
