Victory chases payment for Olympiacos clash

30 October 2012-AAP

Melbourne Victory has taken legal action, claiming it has not been paid for the friendly against Greek powerhouse Olympiacos earlier this year.

The A-League club is seeking a promised $110,000, plus interest and legal costs, for its part in the match held at Etihad Stadium in May.

Victory lodged a statement of claim in the Victorian Supreme Court.

The match was Victory coach Ange Postecoglou's first in charge, with the Greek club winning 4-1 in front of a smaller-than-hoped crowd of 16,877.

According to Victory's claim, under a written agreement, the club was to receive a $110,000 fee to play the match from promoter John Denison and company Denison Corporation Pty Ltd.

The deadline for the fee to be paid was 31 July.

Victory also claims two other companies, SEQ Global Pty Limited and SEQ Olympiacos Pty Limited, agreed to indemnify the club should Denison not pay the fee by the deadline.

Victory claims those two companies have also failed to comply with the agreement.
