A EPS Athens, Group B

2-1

Georgios Kamaras Stadium

Attendance 300?

Entry Free

Kick-Off 15:00

Georgios Kamaras Stadium, usually simply referred to as Rizoupoli Stadium, is probably the largest and most historic ground used in non-league football in Greece. It is home to Apollon Smyrnis (who I’ve introduced here ) and is also owned by the club. The stadium is located in Rizoupoli, a small neighbourhood just off central Athens. It was inaugurated in 1948 and has a capacity of 14,000. In the past, it has served as a home...

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...

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 —...

Gamma Ethniki Promotion Playoffs, Group 7

Aspropyrgos Municipal Stadium

Attendance 500

Entry €5

Kick-Off 17:00

If you’ve read my recent post , you’ll know that Doxa Vironos managed to win the championship very narrowly, leapfrogging Holargos in the season finale. As champions of the first regional division, they now get to compete against other champion teams for a spot in the third national division. You can read more about the format of these promotion playoffs here . As much as I was upset that Holargos — who I had been...

Marc Marceau Stadium

Attendance 250

Entry Free

Kick-Off 16:30

Today was the final fixture of the first amateur division of Athens. Last weekend Holargos played their most important game of the season against Halandri away but I stupidly forgot my SD card at home. They needed at least a draw to stay in the first place, but somehow managed to lose once again after the defeat at Iraklio . Fans and players cried altogether as they saw the collective efforts of a whole season...
