Komotini Municipal Stadium History

Although Panthrakikos FC first formed in 1963 and have spent their entire history at Komotini Municipal Stadium, the ground’s usage for sport actually dates back 40 years ago to 1923 when it was used for sports by the Greek Army after the liberation of Western Thrace.

The first “proper” stadium came into existence in the 1950s when a main stand was erected along the northern side length of the pitch thus determining the direction of the pitch. It was joined 20 years later by an opposite stand on the southern side, and reached a capacity of 3,000 by mid-millennium.

When Panthrakikos FC gained promotion to the Greek Second Division in 2006 the club suddenly had the impetus to upgrade the facilities at Komotini Stadium into the modern era. The first section of the stadium to be refurbished was the northern stand which received a cantilevered roof, executive facilities and comfortable plastic seating.

Coinciding with a period of success on the pitch which saw lowly Panthrakikos ascend to the Greek Superleague, the stadium was expanded with the construction of a West stand in 2008 and an East stand the following year in 2009. It is widely expected that the club will replace the south stand thus completing the modern stadium in the coming years.

Of the modern era the record attendance is set at 5,355. This was achieved on 13th September 2009 in a match between the home side Panthrakikos FC and Panathinaikos FC who would go on to be crowned Champions of the Greek Super League for the 20th time that season.
