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 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...

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...
