Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium, Football stadium in Tripoli, Greece
Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium is a football ground in Tripoli, Arcadia, home to Asteras Tripolis. It has four stands: the east stand holds the club offices, gym, changing rooms and club room; the west stand has the press booths and VIP seats; the north stand dates from 2008; the south stand, rebuilt and extended in 2010, is used mainly by visiting fans. Capacity is listed as 7,423 seats.
Built in 1979, the ground held only a stand of about 100 seats while Asteras Tripolis played in the Fourth and Third Divisions and Arcadia's local leagues. After promotion to the Second Division in 2005 the stadium was renovated and the eastern stand added, housing club offices, a gym and changing rooms. The western stand followed in 2007 after promotion to the Super League, the north stand in 2008, and the south stand was rebuilt and extended in 2010.
The stadium is named after Theodoros Kolokotronis, a key leader in Greece's independence struggle, reflecting the town's connection to that historical moment. This naming choice made in 2012 keeps that legacy visible in daily local life.
The venue has modern changing facilities and a media center that meet European standards. Visitors will find training areas nearby and can expect good access with parking available in the surrounding area.
The stadium's attendance record of 6,150 tickets was set on 27 November 2011, in the Super League match against Olympiacos. The ground was renamed in honour of Theodoros Kolokotronis on 22 November 2012, replacing the name Asteras Tripolis Stadium.
