Description

The new AEK Stadium is currently under construction at the site of their old Nikos Goumas Stadium. The stadium was left in 2004 for their current OAKA Stadium due to its safety concerns, but is now being rebuilt using state-of-the-art construction methods. Following their move to OAKA Stadium, AEK presented an updated plan to build a new stadium at the site of their old stadium, which it still owned. However, each time AEK failed to find the required funding. In October 2013, the current plans were officially presented.

The club initially stated that they wanted to start construction works early 2014, but this got delayed due to environmental impact concerns and it took until 2018 for works to start.

The Agia Sofia Stadium will have a capacity of 33,000 seats divided over two tiers. The first tier has a total of 20 seats and the second tier has a total of 10 seats. There are also 40 VIP Boxes. The stadium's design is inspired on Byzantine architecture.

The project is currently being referred to as Agia Sofia Stadium, but it is expected that a naming sponsor will be sought that can cover for some of the construction costs. These costs are expected to amount to ?65 million.
