Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium (Stadio "Apostolos Nikolaidis") is the football ground Panathinaikos has played for most of the years of its existence, since its foundation back in 1908. The stadium is named after deceased club president Apostolos Nikolaidis. It is in the Abelokipi district of Athens, east of the Lycabettus Hill and on Alexandras Avenue, by which name it is most commonly known (Leoforos Alexandras). The venue also houses a small basketball and volleyball court, a swimming pool, a boxing rink and offices, all contained under the stands. Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium holds a very important place in the history of Greek football. The first stand was built in 1928, and for almost 50 years it hosted the majority of big matches in domestic and international competitions. It was the first to have floodlights installed (1938) and the first with a grass pitch (1958). It was the home of the Greek National Team for many years.
