AEK means (Athletic Union of Constantinople). Costantinople is today known as Istanbul and AEK (like PAOK or panionios) was founded by Greek refugees from Constantinople. That‘s the reason for their stadium‘s name
I commented too about the crest, I suppose that is why they have the two headed Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantium Eagle? Thank you for the information, I love history like that.
@@neilwhitaker6284 hi Neil, if you don't know, search yt for a channel called 'footy adventures'. he's a ginner english lad who travels to stadiums and matches. he does history, stadiums, badges all sorts.
Yeah, not the fanciest stadiums in Europe for sure. However, PAOK FC and Panathinaikos (and actually Aris FC, if the rumours are true) are planning on building new stadiums. PAOK's stadium will be built in the exact same location of where Toumba stadium sits now (basically, all the paperwork is done and it's now in the scheduling process). Hopefully, in a few years time, at least 50% of Greece's top league stadiums will be in an acceptable standard, if not better. As for the number 13 that you mentioned, Greek football fan firms get their names from the location that they sit in their respective stadiums. For example, the Panathinaikos' most important fan firm sits in the stands of Gate 13, PAOK's sit at the stands of Gate 4, Olympiacos are Gate 7, AEK are Gate 21, Aris are Gate 3, etc. Fan fact about Toumba stadium: When it was getting built back in the '50s, fans from all over Thessaloniki and near by townships, would go to the stadium after finishing work and on the weekends, to help with the construction. As a Greek who lives in Oz for the past 20 years, big cheers for this video mate!
My grandad skipped school to volunteer in the construction of Toumba stadium. Same thing happened with our old home in Syntrivani. PAOK is that important to our community. If there is an opportunity to assist in any way to the reconstruction of Toumba the same thing will happen
Toumba stadium has its seating rows laid out to the style (banking, rows, diazoma, cunei) of ancient greek amphiteaters providing excellent acoustics. Plus the big roof over the main stand (gates 2,1,3) bounces the noise from the north curve (Gate 4) across the field to the south east corner of the stadium, creating the legendary atmosphere. Then again i heard this from one guy from Dendropotamos stinking of weed that hopped to gate 5 from gate 4 to grab a hot dog during a match against panathinaikos, take it with a grain of salt
Fun fact, for the Athenian and Salonikan derbies (and games between teams from those cities) they use referees from other countries because the clubs don’t trust the Greek refs to call the games fairly and keep them under control. The last straw was in 2018 when PAOK’s owner ran onto the pitch with a gun to protest a disallowed goal, and that led to the league being suspended for a couple weeks and foreign refs being brought in for the big games.
Actually that incident took the championship away from PAOK and created a huge reaction from PAOK that led to the league bringing refs from other countries and also bringing VAR. Still the corruption in greek football is leading the way.
@@ProedrosMeOnoma You mean the incident whilst the referee didn't count a goal that was clearly offside and then PAOK 's owner (btw close friend of Putin) intruded to the pitch with a gun? That incident?
@@gentleman9488 it was offside in your small world, not in the world of football. Get over it, when your team steals something have the guts to admit it. You did not do it yourself, it was others that did it.
@@gentleman9488 no, he is clearly talking about the incident where PAOK scored, the ref was going to the centre of the field for the kick-off and swarms of Black and yellow officials blocked him.
I really like the AEK stadium and their crest, I suppose it is an Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) two headed Eagle. Imperial/modern Russia and the Holy Roman Empire have also used this symbol. I love the way many of the Greek stadiums are built right into the neighbourhood around them, looks like a great place to watch a match and hang out before and after. Maybe too many running tracks in this league if I am being critical but I also really like Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium, Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium, Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, Panetolikis Stadium and Toumba Stadium I'd love to see a match in any of these. I think the Greeks have a lot to be proud of with these stadiums. edit: I see PAOK has the two headed ego crest that I love too!!!
AEK's crest and colours are a direct copy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (The head of the Greek Orthodox Church), which is understandable, given the fact that its founders were all refugees from Konstantinople (modern day Istanbul). PAOK's (which stands for Panthessalonikian Athletic Club of Konstantinopolitans) origins are from the same place, however, when the club was first formed in Thessaloniki it had a four leaf clover and a horse shoe (it is considered a symbol of good luck) for it's crest. PAOK was the continuation of Peran Club, an athletic club of Greek people, back in Istanbul. Later on, it was decided that PAOK should stand for all refugees of Asia Minor who lived in Thessaloniki and with the absorption of AEK Thessaloniki, it was decided that the crest would be changed. The same two headed eagle was chosen but the founders did not want to have the exact same replica mentioned above. This is why its wings in this case are closed, to represent the sorrow of loosing their motherland. One head looks to the east, the motherland, one head looks to the west, the new home, black is again to represent the sorrow of the lost motherland and white represents the new hope. I hope that covers it.
Thank you for the good commends...But Greek teams are behind from other european countries according the stadiums...mainly due to burocracy...as a Greek i am jealous of the turkish stadiums...the majority are new and big...but in a few years Greece will also have some new stadiums or renovations...🇬🇷
@@isaak4416 Thank you for the history lesson! I figured it was related to history. My favourite two Greek clubs are going to be AEK and PAOK although they are probably rivals it is no bother to me I love their history.
@@kostasoly9318 sometimes new stadiums are good yes but sometimes clubs and supporters lose something when they build new ones. I assume you are Greek if not my apologies but a saying we have in the English speaking world is "be careful what you wish for".

I appreciate your views, you likely know way more about Greece and Greek football than me but these are my opinions from watching the video. I would love to watch a match in many of these, I'd be so happy to get the chance. It might not be Real Madrid vs Liverpool or something like that but it doesn't have to be to be a good experience. In many ways I think it could be really fun at clubs with more local supporters. edit: I agree with you that Turkey has done a fantastic job with their new stadiums and renovations.
When you said you wouldn't visit Neapoli Stadium because it's 38 degrees, I had to look up Celsius to Fahrenheit (since us "Yankees" use the old measurements), and realized that was about 100° F. I can't blame you there, since that tends to be a lot of the summer weather in the part of the U.S. where I live.😁
The Enemy of ionikos is the PROODEFTIKI FC the stadium (4.500 people and since 1939 the older stadium in Greece) of Proodeftiki fc is 3 km down there and the team now playing in football league 2 ,is the strongest and most Derby in Greece after the big clamps (Olympiakos PAO PAOK AEK ARIS)
Panaitolikos stadium is very good for one small city Agrinio and one of the best of the smallest clubs in the league.The atmosphere is very good when supporters go there
Vardinogiannis Stadium (aka Genti Koule that means prison or something like prison in Turkish if I'm not mistaken and every fan is calling it like that) and Kleanthis Vikelidis are the most scariest stadiums in Europe by far. It's just amazing being there the vibes, how close you are to the players, the crazy fans you seriously think that everyone of then is a gank member that's why most people saying that these stadiums are "cages", especially the OFI's stadium. If you won't see the grass you might think you are in a fighting arena or something In Kleanthis Vikelidis you feel magic In Theodoros Vardinogiannis you feel fear they are not extremely beautiful or big stadiums but their vibes are unique

@@brucemedley635 The fans of Panathinaikos is too much from 15000 and to the near future the clamp will have a new stadium in Votanikos place (40.000 people inside)
As livable cities go, we have it pretty well from above 😆I like that we have laws where one is not allowed to build anything above a certain height, keeps all streets sunny and uniform.
I know that the video is about Super League stadiums but there are a few other decent football stadiums in Greece worthy to mention and either don't have owner (a club playing there) or the club plays in a lower division. Best examples are: Pankritio Stadium (26,240), Pampeloponnisiako Stadium (23,588), AEL FC Arena (16,118), Georgios Kamaras Stadium (14,200), Nea Smyrni Stadium (11,342) and of course the Olympic stadium of Athens (69,618) & Kaftanzoglio Stadium (27,770) who have hosted european finals in many ocasions. Great job fellow!
@@aussieboy77 Well, the thing is that OAKA, Kaftanzoglio, Pampeloponnisiako, Panthessaliko and Pankritio Stadiums are primarily athletics Stadiums that usually also have football matches been played on their pitch. They were not meant to function as proper football stadiums, but their goal is to be used for any kind of an open-stadium sport, especially athletics by the local society of the area they are located in.
What is this obsession of your with having the info box visible for just a blink of the eye, any issue having it visible all the time mate?? I like your videos, but I always miss the name or capacity as the info box gone before you can say info box!
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums Appriceated mate. Might be a good ide to add the teams name below the logo as well. Not sure how many can read Panathinaikos in Greek😉😄. Pitching an idea; stadiums combined with flats. Have a couple in Norway, one is quit cool (Consto Arena).
Fun fact only AEK FC and olimpiakos FC have nice and real football arenas.. Only this 2 teams have truly Stadiums the others teams have only future dreams and a lot of talks
That is a lie. A new stadium is a big change to get back in europeans victories. Apsotolos Nikolaidis will be in our heats for ever but it's time to turn the page.
@@beetle9579 at the past panathinaikos need new stadium to take big European viktories? Many big teams stay at they home ground and have many success. Stopped to say lie, the fans of panathinaikos the do not want to move In a place unrelated to their team history. Redevelopment of our stadium now.
Most greek stadiums used to be standing room only, after the Gate 7 disaster (a stampede that left about 30 people dead) they had to reduce the capacity, once UEFA required bucket seating the capacity had to be reduced even more. Leoforos stadium and Toumba stadium are basically the exact same structures as before those changes, plus they are quite open air
Some of the stadiums give a nostalgic, romatic vibe of older times, but in today's standard most of them are crapy to very crapy. But I know most clus don't have the money to improve their stadiums or built new ones.
3:33 you make everything about Chewbacca Mom. You dont think we understand your slick references. Cut her some slacks we all go through trife and hard times
Very good job man...the strange people now (not Greek People)realise why the greek league is one of the worst in Europe... terrible stadiums in the year 2022.. only 2-3 stadiums are new the other is from the decade of 60s-70s
"Everywhere is a cemetery when you live in a city that's thousands of years old" Are you quoting the pessimist Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī (Abulola Moarrensis)?
Seriously man, if your doing Greece you need to Turkey. They have some fantastic stadiums. I mean the league is run like shit, but the stadiums are top notch
Definitely some of the worst stadiums in Europe unfortunately. Not that it matters anyway as football fans have stopped going to games due to corruption and the poor quality of the players.

Leoforos stadium and Toumba stadium are basically the exact same structures as before those changes, plus they are quite open air
The new Panathinaikos arena will have over 30.000 capacity
@@kostasoly9318 both Votanikos and new Toumba will be in the region of 40k, there is also a rumor of a karaiskakis expansion
@@irthamepali I hope Stadium Karaiskakis to have an expansion...Marinakis president will be jealous of 35.000 and over PAO and PAOK arena

Πολύ μεροληπτικά πλάνα .Στο γήπεδο του Λεβαδειακού δεν δείχνει την κυρία εξέδρα και έχει φωτό από μια γωνιά από έξω. Έλεος.

Some of the stadiums give a nostalgic, romatic vibe of older times, but in today's standard most of them are crapy to very crapy. But
I know most clus don't have the money to improve their stadiums or built new ones.
I know as a Greek , most of thestadiums are goodonly for super league2
3:33 you make everything about Chewbacca Mom. You dont think we understand your slick references. Cut her some slacks we all go through trife and hard times

Κρίμα να ορκίζομαι στον Χριστό και την Παναγία ότι δεν είμαι Παοκ
What about the stadiums of the Argentine Primera Division? That league is far more important than this league.
Very good job man...the strange people now (not Greek People)realise why the greek league is one of the worst in Europe... terrible stadiums in the year 2022.. only 2-3 stadiums are new the other is from the decade of 60s-70s
No stadium named after yogurt? I'm disappointed
no. but we give funny names in fans. olympiakos=fishes ,panathinakos = lubricants, paok= chikens, aek= harem girls, aris= worms :)
Paok is life
Life is life....na na na na naaaa.
waiting for Turkish stadiums

You still will not make movie about stadiums from Poland because you are so afraid of calling stadiums names? :D
I will start making it soon. But even though I was in Poland recently, you can still expect many mispronunciations.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums No worries, I found those hilarious :D

Are you quoting the pessimist Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī (Abulola Moarrensis)?
I'm not well versed in Middle Eastern philosophy. Just a coincidence.

Seriously man, if your doing Greece you need to Turkey. They have some fantastic stadiums. I mean the league is run like shit, but the stadiums are top notch
Definitely some of the worst stadiums in Europe unfortunately. Not that it matters anyway as football fans have stopped going to games due to corruption and the poor quality of the players.
Generally poor quality stadia. Turkey has much better ones.....
