Stadium

2024/25 Season

On 4 August 2024, Athens Kallithea FC announced a lease agreement with Panathinaikos FC for the use of Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium for the 2024/25 season.

The 16,000-seat stadium is the oldest active stadium in Greece. Located on Leoforos Alexandras in the central Athenian district of Ambelokipi, the stadium is easily accessible by public transportation, just 200 meters away from the Ambelokipi metro station on Line 3 of the Athens Metro.

Athens Kallithea FC's historical home, Grigoris Lamprakis Stadium, which is owned and operated by the Municipality of Kallithea, does not currently meet the stadium criteria defined in the relevant regulations. To date, the Municipality have not made the necessary actions and investments in order for the stadium to meet those regulations in anticipation of the club’s promotion to the Super League, which prompted the temporary move to Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium.

Historical

Athens Kallithea FC historically play at Grigoris Lamprakis Stadium in the Athenian district of Kallithea, located 2 km south of the Acropolis and 1 km west of Leoforos Syggrou, the main road linking the Athens city center to the Athens Riviera.

Built in 1970, and named after the Greek liberal politician and peace activist Grigoris Lamprakis, it is a multi-use public stadium that at present has a seating capacity of 6,300.

The stadium is commonly referred to by its nickname “El Paso,” a reference to Sergio Leone’s 1965 Spaghetti Western film For a Few Dollars More (which had the Greek title Duel in El Paso) starring Clint Eastwood, as the stadium was built on the site of a quarry and features a tall rock along the north side of the pitch, which was thought to be reminiscent of scenes from the film.
