Hellinikon Stadium, Baseball stadium in Athens, Greece.
Hellinikon Stadium is a sports venue in southern Athens built on former airport land and featuring multiple training fields alongside the main structure. The facility seats several thousand spectators and sits close to the Aegean coastline.
The stadium was built in 2004 when the former airport grounds were transformed into a modern sports complex for the Olympic Games. After the Games, its use shifted multiple times, from football to temporary conversion for other purposes.
The stadium served as home to Ethnikos Piraeus Football Club, shaping the sports culture of southern Athens neighborhoods. The venue held special meaning for local fans as a regular gathering place for league matches.
The site sits south of the city center and is accessible by public transportation, making it easy for visitors to reach. Check the current status and accessibility before visiting, as the condition of the grounds has changed over time.
The main stand of the former baseball venue was covered by a roof and the site held 6 suites, a press room, a boutique, a café and parking for 3,000 cars. By 2023 the stadium had been demolished, but the footprint of the baseball field is still visible on the ground.
