Karaiskakis Stadium
Georgios Karaiskakis stadium has been home to Olympiacos FC since 2004. It has a capacity of 33,334 seats.
The stadium was built on the same site as the old Karaiskakis stadium. After the demolition of the old stadium it took only 14 months to construct the new one. Total investments amounted to €60 million.
Outside the stadium a monument is erected that commemorates the death of 21 Olympiacos fans that got crushed at the exit of the stadium after a match against AEK in 1981. Among the red seats in the stadium 21 are painted black in memory of the deceased.
