Stadium "Spyros Yalabidis" |
| Capacity: 4,000 (all seated) |
| Location: |
 |
|
The
stadium is located in Tavros, a district 3 km south-west of the Athens
city centre. Access by car is easy using Pireos St,
the main road that links Athens with its port, Piraeus. After passing
by the very big "Praktiker" shop and the next intersection
with traffic lights, go on for another 500m. You will see the Tavros
city hall on your left and after that a Shell gas station on your
right. Turn right at this corner into Tavrou St, a narrow road through
warehouses, which will lead you to the train rails after 500m. Cross
them and you'll be outside the stadium.

You
may also use bus #049 from Omonia Sq (it goes to Piraeus).
You will have to get off on Pireos St, near the Shell gas station
mentioned before and then walk to the stadium. If you choose to use
the Metro (line 1) instead, please be aware that "Tavros"
station is actually nowhere near Tavros Stadium. "Kallithea"
is somewhat closer, but again you will have to walk 1 km to get to
the ground. In any case, have a look at the map provided above for
help.

More
data: Tavros Stadium bears the name of Spyros Yalabidis, an old
player of Fostiras. It has three wooden stands that were installed
in 2002, substituting the older existing ones. It must be noted though
that - despite its 1960s feel and layout - the ground is otherwise
in an excellent condition. There are facilities for the fans, a club
shop, a cafeteria and a Fostiras club house on the premises. The stadium
is scheduled to have floodlights installed within the next few months,
while a roof will also be constructed over the east main stand.

| The stadium is owned by the Municipality of Tavros. |
