AEK’s historic premiere at the new stadium means it is ready to take the next step, leaving behind the competitive ‘diseases’ of yesteryear. In addition to the momentum and extra motivation that Agia Sophia gave to the players of Matias Almeida, she made them show their worth while also playing great football. Against Ionikos, the Yellow-Blacks showed automatism, showing that they learn what the coach requires of them. A typical example: an exchange of 26 passes within a minute in the phase of the second goal by Levia Garcia and 29 passes by Gacinovic in the fourth. At the same time, key roles appeared, such as the role of Niklas Eliasson, who was one of the protagonists of the Union, since with his speed and his ability alone, from the flanks, he freed Pinedas and Gacinovic.

At the same time, pleasant moments for AEK fans continue. Facilitating access to the stadium through a new metro station has begun, according to PAE, as the original planning for Line 4 has been changed and the station is now planned to be built at Micrasiathon Memorial Park, located just 150 meters from “her” home.

The new stadium also made a splash overseas as Kicker staged an associated tribute. The German media presented the entire chronicle from the demolition of Nikos Gumas to the construction and opening of Agia Sophia – OPAP Arena.
