Greek club Panathinaikos are so broke that they cannot afford to pay their electricity bills at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. The director of the stadium, of which they are tenants, suggested that the team play during the day to save money on lighting.

In an open letter to the Greek Super League, Hellenic Football Federation and television broadcaster Nova, the stadium's management team head Peter Galaktopoulos said the club had not met the minimum financial obligations.
Galaktopoulos suggested the club play during daylight hours so that it would not be charged the cost of electricity for lighting.
However, the proposal is unlikely to be adopted as the majority of the club's home games are scheduled for prime television evening slots as part of an agreement with Nova.
