The stadium is located in the city of Ioannina (also called Giannina or Giannena). It is the capital of Epirus, a north-western region of Greece, 440 km from Athens. Ioannina is a picturesque city built on the shore of a lake. The local airport serves domestic flights. The stadium itself is located within a 5' walking distance from the city centre. When there, find the central "28th October" Street; the stadium lies 50m off it. Just look for the pillars of its floodlights and you will spot it easily.

Record attendance: 14,557 (PAS Giannina vs Olympiacos CFP - in 1975)
Home of: PAS Giannina (Superleague)
More data: The stadium bears the name of the Zossimades brothers, great benefactors of Greece, who came from Ioannina. The stadium has a main roofed stand on the south-east. The other three sides are covered by just a few rows of seats, running along the athletics track that circles the pitch. The floodlights (not shown in the 3 last photos) and all the plastic seats were installed in September 2000. The capacity of the stadium was 10,700 prior to that.
"Zossimades" National Stadium is owned by the General Secretariat of Sports.
