What we will do in this experience

Hi, I’m Stratis — I was born in Nea Filadelfeia, just a few blocks from the stadium, and AEK has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. On matchday, this neighborhood comes alive, not just with football, but with memory, identity, and connection. And I’d love to share that with you.

We’ll meet at Vizantini Gonia, a cultural café I help run. It’s more than a place for a drink, it’s where stories are told, friends gather, and the heart of AEK beats quietly between games. Over a Greek coffee or a cold beer, I’ll tell you about the club’s beginnings — born from exile, built by refugees, and still deeply rooted in this community today.

Then we’ll head out for a walk through Nea Filadelfeia. These aren’t just streets — they’re part of AEK’s soul. I’ll show you the places that shaped me and so many others: where fans gather, where flags hang from balconies, where the build-up to matchday really starts.

As kickoff gets closer, we’ll join the locals for a pre-game drink and bite, there’s nothing like the atmosphere in the neighborhood just before the game. You’ll feel the energy rising, hear the chants start to echo, and walk toward the stadium shoulder-to-shoulder with people who live and breathe this club.

Then, it’s time. With your match ticket in hand, you’ll step inside Agia Sophia Stadium, and see for yourself what it means when AEK takes the field. I won’t just show you a game, I’ll help you feel like you’re part of it.
