Panthessaliko Stadium History

Constructed at a cost of €50 million, Panthessaliko Stadium first opened on 30th July 2004 where it hosted football matches of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games which was held in Athens. One of six venues used for the competition, the ground hosted four group matches including a memorable game between Japan and Italy which ended in 3-2.

Although Panthessaliko’s capacity was set at 21,000 during the Olympics it appears as if the match between Greece and Mexico on 17th August 2004 exceeded this figure by around 600 seats. The record attendance of 21,597 from this match has subsequently yet to be beaten.

Designed by Hasapis, Sargentis & associates, the stadium is regarded as one of the most original multi-purpose sports grounds in Greece as each stand takes on unique dimensions giving the ground a slightly askew appearance despite the uniformity of the concrete exterior.

Niki Volos Club Shop

It doesn’t appear as if there is a permanent fan shop of either Niki Volos F.C or Olympiacos Volou at Panthessaliko Stadium. As it’s municipally owned this doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

Can you take a stadium Tour?

We can’t find anything on the web which suggests tours of the stadium or sports complex are available.

How to buy Niki Volos Tickets

Very few clubs sell football tickets online which works in the favour of Football Trippers as you can instead pick them before kick-off at the ground on matchdays. Don’t expect to pay much more than €15.00 for a decent seat which is centrally located.
