- PAOK started its European campaign with a win after three years with a 3-2 against Borac in Thessaloniki. The Dikefalos found three goals with headers in the same match, while Konstantinos Koulierakis reached five goals in European competitions with the two he scored and entered the top twenty of all time for PAOK.
- Four of PAOK’s top twenty players in European cups are still active, with Andrija Zivkovic already in 3rd place all-time with 12 goals, Andre Vieirinha in 5th with 10, and Stefan Schwab in 11th with 6 goals.
- The victory over Borac ended a negative streak wanting PAOK to have not won in its last three European openers. It had failed to prevail, after losing to Bohemians on August 3, 2021, with 2-1, to Levski Sofia with 2-0 on July 21, 2022, and last year – on July 27, 2023 – there was a goalless draw with Beitar.
- This is the 16th consecutive year that PAOK begins its obligations within July or early August. The start of this “process” took place on July 30, 2009, in Valerenga – PAOK 1-2, when Dikefalos played for the first time in a European match earlier than August.
- Since then, it enters early into the qualifying stages of European competitions, with its 11 openers being in July and the five in August. This was the 11th for the month of July and just the 6th as a host out of the total of 16 matches.
- This is the seventh year it has been in the Champions League qualifiers, with its first in 2004-05 being ended with a forfeit against Maccabi in the first match and rebounding again in 2010-11 with Ajax as an opponent (1-1 in Netherlands and 3-3 in Thessaloniki).
- In 2013-14, the punishment of Metalist led PAOK for the first time to the Champions League Play Offs, where it was eliminated by Schalke with 1-1 in Germany and a 3-2 loss in Toumba. Ajax followed in 2016-17 in the 3rd qualifying round with 1-1 in the Netherlands and a 2-1 loss in Thessaloniki.
- In 2018-19 it had two qualifications and reached the Play Offs for the second time. It eliminated Basel with a 2-1 win in Toumba and in Switzerland (3-0), while then prevailed with 3-2 over Spartak Moscow in Thessaloniki and took 0-0 in Russia. In the Play Offs, it drew 1-1 in Portugal with Benfica and lost 4-1 in Toumba.
