The basketball world was stunned on the evening of June 24, 2026, with the news that Moustapha Fall, who recently parted ways with Olympiacos after being sidelined for much of the season, has signed with their bitter rivals, Panathinaikos. This move, though perhaps not entirely surprising given his contract with Olympiacos was set to run until 2027, has sent shockwaves through Athens.
Fall has committed to a two-year contract with Panathinaikos, which includes an option for a third year. This signing represents a significant development in the intense rivalry between the two Athenian clubs.
The French center had carved out a special place in the hearts of Olympiacos fans during his five seasons with the club. Now, joining the Greens, Fall will aim to regain his former physical prowess and impact on the court, playing alongside his fellow countryman Mathias Lessort.
