Dimitris Melissanidis, one of the richest people in Greece and the president of FC AEK, wanted that at the opening of the new stadium of the club over the arena the eagle flew by. The opening of the stadium is not soon, but the president has already entered into negotiations with Benfica about the lease of the eagle, according to Record. Pt referring to the Greek media.



The symbol of AEK - a double-headed eagle, which was a symbol of the Byzantine Empire. Vitoria has one head, but the Greeks do not seem to be bothered by this detail.

However, Benfica already responded with a refusal to request a lease for Vitoria. The Portuguese club was motivated by the fact that Vitoria was used to Da Lush and training outside this arena could harm the bird.

It is worth noting that Lazio, like Benfica, also uses the eagle in his matches. Whether AEK will acquire its bird, is still unknown.
