Keravnos Agias Varvaras - Apollon Athinon-Dafni30/11/2025

Posted on 12/01/2026

B EPS Athinon, Group A

1-1

Agia Varvara Stadium

Attendance 80

Entry €5

Kick-Off 15:00

The second (and last) match of the day found us in Agia Varvara, after a short drive from Proodeftiki’s stadium. Agia Varvara is a small neighbourhood bordering Korydallos, on the foothills of Mount Egaleo. It has a reputation for being rather rough, as well as having a considerable Roma population. It’s one of those areas you’d never visit unless you’re from there. The stadium isn’t even listed on Google Maps, and you have to do...

EPS Athinon Cup, 4th Round

0-0 (4-3 on penalties)

Goudi Stadium

Attendance 80

Entry Free

Kick-Off 15:00

Ilisiakos is a club I’d visited a few times before I started this blog. They are a multi-sports club based in Ilisia, central Athens, perhaps best known for their basketball department, which is also their most successful one. Their football team has a longer history, though, and although it never managed to reach the first division, it has plenty of second-division seasons on its CV; not bad for a neighbourhood side. It’s also the club...

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...

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...

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...
