AEK Arena was a football stadium project in West Attica, Greece. The purpose of the project was the construction of a modern football stadium to be used by AEK Athens FC.


Location


As it was announced on September 6, 2007 the stadium would be built in Ano Liosia, a northwestern suburb of Athens. A contract was signed between the Greek State and AEK Athens F.C. and all the details of the project were finalised.[1]


Capacity and other facilities


The stadium would have a capacity of at least 50,000 spectators according to chairman Demis Nikolaidis and it would fulfill all the UEFA criteria in order to be regarded a 5-star venue. It would also feature a shopping mall of around 50,000 square metres, a multiplex cinema and numerous cafes and restaurants.


Stadium naming


The name "AEK Arena" would not be the official name of the future stadium, it is just the temporary name of the project. Although, it was likely that the stadium was finally named AEK Arena even though a name like "New Nikos Goumas Stadium" is more likely to be chosen. Last but not least, it is very possible the stadium to be named after a sponsorship deal 'LG Stadium/LG Arena.


Cancellation


The stadium was cancelled due to financial problems of the club and negative reaction from the fans. On 10 July the new owner of AEK Athens F.C., Dimitris Melissanidis, announced that the club would build a new stadium at Nea Filadelfia area, where the historic home ground of AEK Athens, Nikos Goumas Stadium, was situated.
