C EPS Athinon, Group B

0-3

Akadimia Platonos Stadium

Attendance 40

Entry €5

Kick-Off 16:00

Another Sunday waking up late, another last-minute football outing. I was feeling too lazy to drive far while browsing the Athens Football League’s website, trying to find a new ground to visit, when I realised there was a game on at the stadium of Akadimia Platonos. Akadimia Platonos is a neighbourhood and park on the western edge of central Athens, named after Plato’s Academy, which he founded there in ancient times. The stadium is located...

A EPS Athinon, Group B

1-1

B Argyroupoli Stadium

Attendance 200

Entry €5

Kick-Off 16:30

Not having posted a single entry for an official match by now is arguably embarrassing. Though, in my defence, the non-league championships start rather late in Greece and, as you’ve probably noticed by now, I prefer not to write about the “bigger” teams in this country. That, paired with me taking holidays in early September in a non-football destination, meant that my groundhopping season’s start was far from ideal. But instead of becoming despondent, one...

Friendly

3-0

Michalis Kritikopoulos Stadium

Attendance 100

Entry Free

Kick-Off 19:00

I’d been to this stadium twice before, but both visits were before I started this blog, so I thought this was a good enough excuse to pay this beautiful ground another visit. The first time was to see Kifissia (who at the time were using the stadium for their home games) take on Panserraikos, in a 4-4 thriller that remains one of the most dramatic Super League matches I’ve seen live. Later that season, I...

Vrilissia Stadium

Attendance 60

Entry Free

Kick-Off 18:00

It’s been so long since I last wrote one of these that I’ve almost forgotten how to do it. Summers in Greece can be cruel, and it’s not so much the unbearable heatwaves but rather the lack of football action. So when Holargos’ pre-season friendlies were announced, they quickly became the main thing on my mind (perhaps alongside the Greek clubs’ European qualifiers). Most groundhoppers tend to be a bit snobbish about friendly games —...

Stamata Stadium

Attendance 120

Entry €4

Kick-Off 17:00

After last week’s successful outing , I recruited three friends and headed once again to the far northern suburbs of Athens for another game in the EPSANA league — this time by car, thankfully. We were going to see a match from the third (and lowest) division. It’s the only division still ongoing, and today was the final matchday of the season. We chose to visit Panvoreiakos, who sit second in the table, tied on...
