Construction is underway for the new Panathinaikos stadium and associated infrastructure in the Botanikos district of Athens. The project includes the development of Prophet Daniel Avenue, a new 1.3-kilometre, eight-lane road designed to serve as a main traffic axis and relieve local congestion. This avenue is expected to be handed over in 2027.

Regarding the stadium itself, construction is progressing with the central gate structure and sections of the stands taking shape. The facility is designed to accommodate 39,074 spectators and 78 luxury suites, for which demand has reportedly exceeded availability. Officials aim to reach 50% completion by September, with the stadium scheduled for inauguration in May 2027 to coincide with the 2027-28 football season.
