The Greek football club Olympiacos has officially confirmed it will play its home matches at the AEK Athens' SUNEL Arena until the new Stadio Ethnikis Etaireias (SEF) is completed. The agreement was finalized after negotiations between the two clubs, allowing Olympiacos to use the SUNEL Arena for a significant period. This decision comes as the SEF, which is set to replace the current stadium, is still under construction.
Olympiacos, the reigning Greek and European champions, will continue to host its matches at the SUNEL Arena, which is located in the Athens suburb of Agios Dimitrios. The temporary arrangement is expected to last until the new stadium is fully operational. The agreement was reached after both clubs finalized the necessary paperwork, ensuring a smooth transition for the club's home games.
The move is seen as a practical solution to maintain the team's competitive edge during the construction phase. The SUNEL Arena, which has a capacity of over 20,000 spectators, will provide a suitable environment for Olympiacos to continue its domestic and European campaigns. The club's fans have expressed support for the decision, recognizing the need for a temporary solution during this transitional period.
The agreement also highlights the cooperation between the two major Greek clubs, demonstrating a willingness to work together for the benefit of the sport. As the SEF nears completion, the future of Olympiacos' home games remains tied to the progress of the new stadium.
