The Agia Sophia Stadium (pronounced[aˈʝasoˈfça]), also known as OPAP Arena[4] for sponsorship reasons and as AEK Arena for UEFA competitions, is the home stadium of AEK Athens. With an all-seater capacity of 32,500[2] it is the third largest football stadium overall in Greece. It is located in Nea Filadelfeia, a northwestern suburb of Athens, Greece. The new arena was built on the site of the former Nikos Goumas Stadium. The construction of the arena was completed in October 2022. Agia Sophia Stadium is the newest stadium built in Greece.
On 27 March 2023, the stadium began hosting the home matches of the Greece national football team[5] with a 0–0 draw against Lithuania.
The stadium won the 13th edition of the Stadium of the Year award in the public vote for the best stadium opened in 2022.
The 2024 UEFA Europa Conference League final is scheduled to take place at the stadium on 29 May 2024.[6]
