On this day, January 3, 1962 — 63 years ago — AEK inaugurated the new turf and the grand stand of its stadium in Nea Filadelfeia. In a historical retrospective, we meet the authors of the book “100 Years – The History of AEK Through the Evolution of Its Stadium”, Gerasimos Gasparinatos and Andreas Dimatos.
We delve into touching moments of history, unforgettable matches held there, and moments of glory and triumph for the refugee-founded AEK. We trace the journey of AEK’s stadium history, from its initial inauguration in 1930 with a friendly match against Olympiacos, to its demolition in 2003, and the creation of the new stadium in 2022.
