Toumba Stadium, Football stadium in Thessaloniki, Greece

Toumba Stadium is a football ground in the Toumba district of eastern Thessaloniki, owned by AC PAOK and home to PAOK FC since 1959. Its continuous tiered stand rises from a low wall at pitch level to a flat roofline, with a dark band along the top edge carrying the names MAKEDONIA, THESSALONIKI, ABRAHAM, PAPADOPOULOS and KONSTANTINIDIS. A tall floodlight pylon stands at the right, and the pitch is flat green grass marked with white lines.

Construction began in 1958 on land expropriated under defence minister Georgios Themelis, with architect Minas Trempelas and engineer Antonis Triglianos; the stadium opened on 6 September 1959 with a 1–0 friendly win over AEK. Its original capacity was about 20,000, expanded to 45,000 by 1971. After the Gate 8 collapse in 1980 and the 1981 Karaiskakis disaster, capacity fell to 41,073, then 32,000 with all-seater conversion in 1998 and 29,000 with security zones in 2000.

Fans call the ground "Cathedral", and the club's nickname for it is "The Black Hell" for the hostile reception visiting teams meet. When the players walk out of the tunnel on home matchdays, the AC/DC song Hells Bells is played over the stadium speakers. The official name is simply PAOK Stadium, but it is known by the name of the Toumba district where it stands.

The stadium sits in the Toumba district of eastern Thessaloniki. OASTH buses 11, 12, 14, 30 and 37 stop nearby, including a stop named after the ground on Mikras Asias street, and Thessaloniki Metro station Papafi serves lines 1 and 2. Teams enter through Gate 1 on matchdays.

The highest attendance record occurred in 1976 during a match between PAOK and AEK Athens, when more than 45,000 spectators filled the grounds. This remains a notable moment in the venue's past, showing just how passionate local supporters are about major football events.
