The AEL FC Arena in Larissa has become a central venue for Greek Cup matches following logistical challenges at other stadiums. Initially, the arena was selected to host a match between AO Trikala and AEL FC after Trikala’s municipal stadium failed to secure an operating license. In that instance, AEL owner Zisis Stylianos reportedly covered the costs to secure the venue, allowing Trikala to act as the home team and retain gate receipts. As the Greek Cup League Phase progressed, the AEL FC Arena was scheduled to host a fixture between Olympiacos and AEL. This match involved several administrative and security developments, including a request by Olympiacos to use VAR technology, for which the club agreed to cover the costs.
