Fahro Alihodzic has helped lead Panionios to the A2 league title in Greece on the final day of the regular season.

The Athens-based side knew that victory would secure the second division title as well as promotion and they recorded an 83-58 home win against Doukas on Saturday to finish on top.

Alihodzic finished with a game-high of 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting in just 21 minutes having led his team in both points and rebounds throughout the season with 12.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

The more we win! The more satisfied we get ! #Champions #Panionios 🙌🏼🏆🍾🎉

Last season, Alihodzic reached the A2 Finals with Promitheas, and returned for another year in Greece with Panionios.

It’s a second league title in as many years for the club after they earned promotion from the third tier in 2016 and will now rise to the top-flight with Alihodzic signing a two-year contract with the club.

Alihodzic joins Matthew Bryan-Amaning as victorious Brits abroad following his success in Japan yesterday.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
