The Tsirio Stadium (Greek: Τσίρειο Στάδιο) is an all-seater multi-purpose stadium in Limassol, Cyprus.
The stadium holds 13,331 people and is mostly used for football matches. It was the home ground of the three biggest clubs in Limassol,[1] which have now moved to the Alphamega Stadium.
The football pitch is surrounded by an athletics track and serves as the home ground of the Limassol GSO (Gymnastikos Syllogos Olympia) Athletics Club.
History
The stadium was built in 1975 with the help of Petros I. Tsiros, a famous businessman and philanthropist of the city, to replace the aging GSO Stadium. For his contributions to the construction of the stadium, Tsiros became its namesake.
In the past, especially in the 1990s, it was used as the home ground for the Cyprus national football team.
Some matches of the 1992
The construction of the Alphamega Stadium replaced Tsirio Stadium as the city's main football stadium.[2]
