Agios Dimitrios B - Asteras Exarchion18/01/2025

C EPS Athinon, Group B

2-5

Agios Dimitrios Stadium

Attendance 78

Entry Free

Kick-Off 15:00

It was a sunny Saturday and my friend Johann, who was visiting from Berlin, was set on catching a game of Asteras Exarchion; I couldn’t say no. Asteras is perhaps the most famous non-league club in Greece. It is a side with a long history, founded in 1928, and is known for its anti-authoritarian values which reflect Exarchia, their home district. A self-managed club with a big following, they celebrate win or lose and have...

Chrysoupoli Stadium

Attendance 250

Entry Free

Kick-Off 15:00

The first weekend of the year found me ticking off one of Athens' historical clubs in yet another cool ground. Apollon Smyrnis is one of the oldest clubs in Greece. They were founded in 1891 in Izmir and moved to Athens in 1922 after the Burning of Smyrna. Since then, and up until the late 90s, they spent almost every season in the top division and produced some of the country’s top players. In recent...

Korydallos Municipal Stadium

Attendance 45

Entry Free

Kick-Off 18:15

It had just started getting dark as we headed back to Korydallos, the starting point of our outing, for the last game of the day. The stadium of Korydallos is a very typical Greek municipal ground, with one concrete stand and a track. It’s not the most exciting venue, but the fact that it’s literally next to the most notorious prison in the country makes it somewhat special. At least, that’s what I was trying...

Attendance 64

Entry €2.5

Kick-Off 15:30

My friend Sofoklis and I headed further south-west for the second game of the day. We had been here last Sunday when my camera had run out of battery, but we wanted to come back again. The stadium had become an instant favourite. It’s located in the Charavgi neighbourhood of Keratsini, in Piraeus, just next to the cement factory it got its name from (ΑΓΕΤ). The view of the sea, the ferries, and the sunset...

Pantelis Nikolaidis Stadium

Attendance 43

Entry €5

Kick-Off 13:00

After last Sunday’s outing, my friend and I were left wanting more. We decided to do another triple, but this time in the Piraeus league. Sundays are particularly good for catching multiple games in Athens, as the kick-off times are more varied. Piraeus is rather far from where I live, but once you get there, the distances between different grounds are short. It’s still an area that feels alien to me, as I never happen...
