The stadium is located in Veria, 72 km west of Thessaloniki and 516
km north of Athens. Veria does not have an airport, but it is served
by that of Thessaloniki. You may also get there by train. The stadium
is situated in the north part of the city. If you arrive to Veria
by car from motorway A2 (also called Egnatia Odos), follow the east
peripheral road to "Naousa" and "Edesssa" not
turning left towards "Veria" or "Centre". Go on
until you reach a T junction, next to a small river. There you will
see signs to "Naousa" and "Edessa" pointing right
and "Centre" to the left. Turn left and you will reach the
stadium after 100m.

More
data: Veria Municipal (formerly "National") Stadium
was first used as a sports venue in the 1920s, on a site that was
once occupied by the old ottoman cemetery of the city.
The stadium today has a main west and a smaller east stand. One more stand, with a rather strange shape, is to be found at the south curve. The north curve used to be a standing terrace, but since all stadia now have to be all-seaters, 2 rows of seats were installed in 2003. Veria Stadium has undergone some upgrading in recent years (roof over the west stand, electronic scoreboard at the south curve, plastic seats on all stands, floodlights etc). However, the fact remains that it has started to show its age. The stadium is owned by the Municipality of Veria. |
