OGAE Voting 2017: 30 countries have now received points as we reach the halfway stage!

It is time to take another look at how the 2017 OGAE poll is progressing! We previously took a look at the standings after the first seven votes. Nevertheless, the votes have since been submitted increasingly quickly. As a result, we have now reached the halfway point! 22 of the 44 voting fan clubs have revealed their favourite 10 entries.

It is worth noting that, since our previous article, it has been revealed that OGAE Montenegro will not be submitting votes this year. Therefore, 44 fan clubs, rather than 45, will decide the winner of this year’s poll.
