Makedonikos Stadium

Makedonikos Stadium, Football stadium in Pavlos Melas Municipality, Greece

Makedonikos Stadium is a football ground in Nea Efkarpia, in the Pavlos Melas municipality of Thessaloniki, built on land owned by the club and opened in 1969. Its circular stands hold 8,165 seated spectators, and the pitch is surrounded by the club's own facilities rather than an athletics track.

Construction began in 1967 on land owned by Makedonikos and with the club's own funds, and the stadium was completed in 1969. It was officially inaugurated on 25 March 1969 by club president Pyrros, with sports secretary general Konstantinos Aslanidis attending; he granted the club 1,000,000 drachmas for finishing works. A tournament followed with Aris, Iraklis, Makedonikos Neapolis and PAOK; the first match, Aris against PAOK, ended 0–0 and Aris won 4–1 on penalties, while Iraklis took the tournament with a 3–0 penalty win over Aris after a 1–1 draw.

The ground is home to Makedonikos and was inaugurated on 25 March 1969 with a four-team tournament: Aris beat PAOK 4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw, and Iraklis won the final 3-0 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. The pitch has also hosted concerts by Ska-P and Scorpions.

The venue is accessible via multiple bus routes connecting central Thessaloniki with the Efkarpia neighborhood in Pavlos Melas Municipality. Using public transport is the most straightforward way for visitors coming from the city center.

On 5 June 1983, 9,422 spectators watched Makedonikos Neapolis play Olympiacos, the ground's record attendance. The stadium also hosted live concerts by Ska-P and Scorpions, a use that has little to do with football.
