The
stadium is located in the city of Volos, an important port of central
Greece, 320 km north of Athens. Volos has an airport, but it is used
only by charter flights. You may, however, get there by train. The
stadium itself is located in the east part of the city. Drive along
central Iasonos St, towards Agria. At the point where you exit Volos,
there is a "T" junction with traffic lights. On the right,
the road continues to Agria, by the sea. You will have to turn left
and you will reach the stadium after 500m. Alternatively, you may
use bus #3 to get there from the centre of Volos.

More
data: Volos Municipal (formerly "National") Stadium
holds an important place in the history of Greek football. You may
see two photographs from the 1970s
(before the partial extention of its stands) and the 1990s.
Volos Stadium has been used several times in the past as a venue for
play-off matches (championship, relegation etc). The most important
of these took place on 29/6/82 between Olympiacos CFP and Panathinaikos
FC. The "Reds" won by 2-1 and became Greek Champions of
that year.

Volos Stadium was as one of the Olympic Training Venues for the football
tournament of the 2004 Olympic Games. For this reason it had to be
upgraded. Works started in 2003 and had a total cost of € 350,000.
They involved the stadium's pitch and areas below its stands. Further
works took place in 2005, following an initiative of the stadium's
main tenants, Olympiakos Volou FC. The stadium is now an all-seater,
something that reduced its capacity by about 2,000. The club also
aims to construct a roof over the west part of the stands.
