The needy, the suffering, but also the tuberculosis sufferers who left their last breath in the bloody beds of "Sotiria", saw a helping hand from the UoGA. Nevertheless, its role enlarged in the second half of 1942 when football joined in. The 1941–42 season was the one with the least sports activity during the years of The Occupation. Its known for sure that 2 friendly games were organized. One was between Olympiacos and Ethnikos Piraeus with a result of 4–0 in favor of the former, in which Nikos Godas also scored, who was the most emblematic figure of a football player in the vortex of the events of the time. The second would not be held, but it would be remembered for the protest that started during and afterwards the cancelation of the match.
