“G. KARAISKAKIS” STADIUM

The new Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium was built on the site of the historic stadium that had been Olympiacos’s home ground for decades. It opened in 2004 as a state-of-the-art, football-only venue. Today, the stadium, which is constantly modernized, has a capacity of 33,449 seats, 43 sky boxes and 40 specially designed seats for spectators who use a wheelchair along with their escorts.

The Field

• In the summer of 2016, Olympiacos undertook a major project to replace the entire grass and install a new, hybrid stitched surface. It goes without saying that Karaiskakis Stadium now boasts having the best grass in Greece. The field’s dimensions are 105m x 68m.

Dressing Rooms

• In the summer of 2014, both the home and away dressing rooms were fully renovated. Today our team’s dressing room features an impressive design that emphasizes functionality and creates a ‘family-like’ atmosphere for the Olympiacos’ players.

Players’ Tunnel

• A special passage that connects the dressing rooms to the pitch, where players experience the emotions leading up to their entrance onto the field. From this corridor, which is filled with one-of-a-kind hand painted murals, players can hear the roar of the fans and the chants from the stands!

Players’ Lounge

• A beautiful and functional players’ lounge was added in 2015 to allow them to relax with their families after matches.

Media Tribune

• The stadium provides 20 fully equipped, ready-to-use commentary positions, 150 media desks as well as a pitch view studio. It also features a state-of-the-art indoor studio for hosting all kinds of broadcasting activities.

Press Area

• All media areas (Press Conference Room, Press Area, and Reception) were fully renovated in 2014 and have the work amenities and look and feel worthy of a Legend.

RED STORE

• The Red Store is the official merchandise store of Olympiacos F.C, located at the G. Karaiskakis Stadium. This store is the go-to place for fans to purchase official Olympiacos gear, including items like the team’s iconic red-and-white jerseys and exclusive merchandise!

OLYMPIACOS F.C. MUSEUM

• In April 2025, Olympiacos opens its new Museum, coinciding with the club’s 100th anniversary. This unique space reflects the history, values, and fighting spirit of the Legend, spanning nearly 1,000 m² and featuring over 20 analog, interactive, and audiovisual installations.

GREEK OLYMPIC VELODROME

• The Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium was originally built as a velodrome in 1895 for use during the 1896 Olympic Games.

THE FIRST FOOTBALL USE

• It was in the 1920s that the velodrome was first used as a football pitch. Forty years later, in 1960, it was fully renovated and retrofitted to be used as a stadium, including a pitch and a track and field. Since then, it has been renamed the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium to honor the major Greek hero Georgios Karaiskakis, who was killed near the stadium during the 1821 Greek Revolution.

THE NEW KARAISKAKIS

• Construction of the new Karaiskakis Stadium was completed in the summer of 2004, marking the start of a new era for Olympiacos.

A WORLD REFERENCE STADIUM

• Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium is regularly modernized with continuous renewal work in all its areas. In the summer of 2023, it successfully hosted the UEFA Super Cup final between Manchester City and Sevilla, a match attended by fans from all over the world. In fact, UEFA congratulated and awarded the stadium’s management for meeting the highest possible standards as host of the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.
