Olympiakos Piraeus - Sporting

The Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Greek: Γήπεδο Γεώργιος Καραϊσκάκης [ˈʝipeðo karaiˈskacis]) is a football stadium in the Neo Faliro area of Piraeus, near Athens, Greece. It is the home ground of the Greek club Olympiacos F.C. and is named after Field Marshal Georgios Karaiskakis - a hero of the Greek War of Independence, who was mortally wounded near the area.

It was used during the 1896 Summer Olympics as the Neo Phaliron Velodrome, where Frenchman Paul Masson took the three track cycling gold medals.
It was renovated during the 1960s and was completely rebuilt in 2004 into a 32,115 capacity.

Karaiskakis Stadium opened in June 2004. It was one of the stadiums used during the 2004 Olympics.

Outside of the stadium one can find a monument 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.
