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

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...

Rouf Stadium

Attendance 78

Entry Free

Kick-Off 12:00

I had planned a triple for today and woke up very excited, only to find out that my camera hadn’t charged properly and was about to die. I was disappointed but wasn’t going to change my plan, so I headed towards Keramikos. Rouf Stadium is a 10-minute walk from the metro station, and, being one of the few grounds in central Athens (like Alepotripa ), it’s home to quite a few teams. Colonos FC is...

Holargos Damari Stadium

Attendance 200

Entry €5

Kick-Off 15:00

Holargos remain undefeated so far and are leading the standings. Today, they’re facing Irakleio, a north-side team sitting just above the middle of the table. The weather is dull and grey; it looks like it could rain at any moment. Holargos are playing a home game away from home for the second time this season due to maintenance works. But they didn’t have to go far. The Damari Stadium is only a short walk away...

Entry €5

Kick-Off 15:00

Yesterday, I ended up spending the night at the police station for the most stupid reason ever, leaving me completely sleep-deprived and vexed. But that wasn’t enough to ruin my Sunday plans. Holargos was playing another derby, this time away at Doxa Vironos, and I wasn’t going to miss it. Not only are the two teams close in the standings, but they also have some of the best fans in the league, making this encounter...
