The Agia Sophia Stadium (pronounced [aˈʝa soˈfça]), also known as OPAP Arena[4] for sponsorship reasons and as AEK Arena for UEFA competitions, is the home stadium of AEK Athens. With an all-seater capacity of 32,500[2] it is the third largest football stadium overall in Greece. It is located in Nea Filadelfeia, a northwestern suburb of Athens, Greece. The new arena was built on the site of the former Nikos Goumas Stadium. The construction of the arena was completed in October 2022. Agia Sophia Stadium is the newest stadium built in Greece.

The stadium hosted the 2024 UEFA Europa Conference League final on 29 May 2024.[5][6][7][8]

Name

[edit]

The original name of the stadium, Agia Sophia, named after the Byzantine-built former Orthodox cathedral Hagia Sophia, was picked in order to commemorate the roots of the club from the city of Constantinople (present day Istanbul).[9] The commercial name of the stadium, OPAP Arena, was picked after OPAP – Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics S.A. secured the naming rights for five years, starting from 2022 onwards. As UEFA does not allow for stadiums to be named after a sponsor, AEK Arena is used for the European governing body's competitions.

History

[edit]

In 1926, land in Nea Filadelfeia that was originally set aside for refugee housing was donated as a training ground for the Greek refugees. A stadium was built at the site in 1930, named "Nikos Goumas", and became the home ground of AEK Athens FC.[10]

In 2003, Giannis Granitsas, president of AEK at the time, advocated for demolishing the stadium at the interest of erecting a new one at the same location, citing that the stadium was seriously damaged from the 1999 Athens earthquake.[10][11] His plan was to build a new stadium at the same site, which would include also a basketball indoor hall and a mall. The goal was for the stadium to be ready in time for the 2004 Summer Olympics.[12]

However, shortly before the construction of the new stadium was to commence, it was halted by the Council of State, which decided that the construction plans of the stadium were contrary to the Constitution of Greece.[12]

In 2005, Dimitris Melissanidis was a candidate for the presidency of AEK, and presented a plan for the construction of a stadium at the area of Nikos Goumas, bearing the name Agia Sophia. However, he lost the elections.[13]

In 2007, AEK Athens FC's president Demis Nikolaidis was developing a project to build a 50,000-capacity stadium at Ano Liosia. The plan was canceled due to a lack of fan support and lack of funds.[12]

After the bankruptcy and relegation of AEK Athens FC in 2013, Dimitris Melissanidis took up the reorganization of the club and re-introduced the plan of Hagia Sophia in a press conference held on 10 July 2013.[14]

The first presentation of the stadium took place on 2 October 2013 in the Miltos Kountouras hall at the Nea Filadelfeia High School.[15][16] The project manager of the stadium Dimitris Andriopoulos announced the first features and facilities. The stadium will fulfill the criteria to be a four-category in the UEFA stadium categories, it will have a capacity of 32,500 and will have 40 suites. There will be a museum about the Greek refugees who left from Asia Minor in 1922. It will offer 1,500–2,000 jobs during its construction and 250,400 permanent jobs when it was constructed. The stadium's construction was expected to begin in 2014 and finish by 2015. The first images of the stadium were also exposed. The stadium is designed after the Walls of Constantinople where the club originated from, and it will resemble a castle from the outside.[17]

The grand presentation of the stadium took place on 6 November 2013 at the Onassis Cultural Center in Athens, which will contribute financially to the construction of the stadium. A symbolic fund was also donated by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Technical information about the stadium was presented and its facilities were illustrated in a 20-minute video.[18][19]

On 2 January 2015, the municipality of Filadelfeia-Chalkidona filed a complaint at the Council of State against the decision of the Forests Directorate of the Attica Decentralized Administration[20] calling for the redevelopment of 0.6 hectares from the Grove of Nea Filadelfeia in accordance with the overall plans for the new stadium.[21] Additionally, 17 citizens of the municipality of Filadelfeia-Chalkidona filed a complaint on 1 December 2014 about the same matter.[22]

The case was heard at the Council of State on 6 March 2015.[23] The decision was issued on 5 June 2015, and it rejected the claims of the municipality and the citizens as unsubstantive and obscure.[24]

The plan for the building of the stadium was released for public consultation by the Ministry of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy on 22 July. The process would be completed in 45 days.[25] The municipality of Filadelfeia-Chalkidona filed an application for an extension of the public consultation for an extra 45 days,[26] which was accepted.[27] The consultation was finally concluded on 24 November 2015.[28]

On 28 January 2016, the meeting of the Administrative Regiοn of Attica approved the Study of the Environmental Impact of the project.[29]

The minister of Environment and Energy, Panos Skourletis, signed the Study of the Environmental impact of the stadium on 31 March 2016.[30]

The planning permission was acquired from the Ministry of Environment on 25 July 2017.[31][32]

Funding

[edit]

The net construction cost is estimated at € 81,700,000. The funding will be completed in three stages. The first phase of construction will cost € 25,000,000; the second phase € 20,000,000 and the third € 14,700,000.[33] The Administrative region of Attica will fund the stadium with € 20,000,000.[34] The sum left will be funded by Dikefalos 1924, a company that was founded for the construction of the stadium.[35][36]

Construction

[edit]

The construction of the stadium began with earthworks on 28 July 2017.[37] The first phase of construction consisted of excavations and retaining works, which according to the initial planning would last for 5 months.[38] Eventually, the first phase was completed on 5 December 2017.[39]

On 6 February 2018, it was announced that the company «ERMONASSA SA» would undertake the completion of the second phase regarding the construction of the stadium. These include, according to the official announcement, the remaining earthworks, the reinforced concrete main structure of the stadium, the construction of the concrete reinforced and prestressed pillars, and finally the construction and installation of the stands. The completion of this phase is planned to last 14 months.[40] The works began on 12 February 2018.[41] The third and final phase started on 30 March 2020 and was completed in early September 2022.
