Panathinaikos F.C. New Stadium, Football stadium in Votanikos, Greece
Panathinaikos F.C. New Stadium is a football venue in Votanikos with seating for around 40,000 spectators and contemporary facilities designed for match days. The complex also houses spaces for volleyball, handball, and basketball, as well as a swimming pool.
Construction started in April 2023 after earlier plans from 2008 were abandoned due to financial difficulties facing both the club and Greece's economy. The project follows decades during which supporters gathered at the club's former ground dating back to the early 1900s.
The venue marks the club's transition to a modern home that brings supporters together in a facility designed for today's standards. It represents how sports spaces shape community identity and daily rhythms in the city.
The complex is reachable by public transport and offers parking for visitors. Various seating sections cater to different needs, and amenities like restrooms and concession stands are positioned throughout the grounds.
Athens granted the club ownership and operation rights to the entire sports complex for 99 years as part of the development agreement. This long-term arrangement provides unusual security for the organization and allows for sustained investment in the facilities.
