On the day of his 117th birthday we had a “great” development for the “trifle”, after the foundation of the new football stadium of the “prassine” in its area, where all the first excavation and coat work of soil have now been completed to make the splashes. On Monday morning (03.02.2025, 10:00) the meeting of all the parties involved took place in the project of “Double Redevelopment” (Municipality of Athens, Amateur and FC Panathinaikos, GDP Eleonos) in the region of Botanikos. CORVERSE Present were the Mayor of Athens, Harry Duke, the president of FC, Giannis Alafousos, and also the president of Amateur, Panagiotis Malakates. We should mention that the football field part has been going on for a long time to start the foundation work. RURAL PHOTO / EUROKINISSI Alafuzo: “The water entered the groove for the stadium – exactly what we wanted” Speaking from Botanikos and the point where they will become the football stadium of Panathinaikos as well as the facilities of Amateur, the powerful man of FC, Giannis Alafousos, expressed his faith that everything will be ready by Christmas 2026 ADVERSE “We were very late. At first we would stay on the Avenue, that is what we had planned, but then the opportunity was created for the Botanical and because this stadium is exactly what we would like to have, along with the Amateur facilities, because the key factor in choosing the Botanical was that the Amateur would also have excellent facilities, which will ensure his survival for many decades.” RURAL PHOTO / EUROKINISSI For the original timetable : “There is a bonus for construction companies for 31 December 2026, and I think they are trying to achieve it. We hope the Christmas of 2026 is ready or soon after. The stadium will be completed by the end of 2026. As you know, there is an agreement between the banks and the Amateur and the projects will start immediately, and that is why. Everything’s going well. I hope Panathinaikos, as well as the other teams that already have stadiums, has his own”. For the good racing image of Panathinaikos and if he is optimistic: “The optimism is relative”. RURAL PHOTO / EUROKINISSI To mention that the main issue for months was the financial gap of the premises of Amateur, which after the extrajudicial of January 20, entered a series after the contacts that followed in the last two weeks and was agreed to be fully covered by the banking consortium (AEP Eleon). At the same time, other smaller (but equally important) issues were settled that were “open” long ago and had been recorded on urban issues, but also on uses outside the A.O. border.
