Agia Sophia Stadium, Football stadium in Nea Filadelfeia, Greece
Description
Agia Sophia Stadium is a football stadium in Nea Filadelfeia, Greece, holding 34,000 spectators within a modern structure. The outer facade displays Byzantine architectural elements that give the building a characteristic appearance.
History
The stadium opened in September 2022 on the same site where the former Nikos Goumas Stadium stood until its demolition in 2003. This brought the club back to its traditional home after nearly two decades away.
Culture
The venue takes its name from Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, recalling the roots of AEK Athens among Greek refugees from Asia Minor. The facade incorporates Byzantine design features that make this connection to the community's history visible.
Practical
Visitors reach different entry gates using digital tickets, with sections divided for home supporters, visiting fans and media representatives. The seating spreads across several tiers around the playing field.
Did you know?
The stadium houses exhibition spaces that preserve objects and documents from Greek refugee communities who founded the football club. These areas connect the sporting use with the memory of the founding families' history.
