The development of a new Toumba stadium in Thessaloniki has moved from local controversy to formal planning stages. Initially, residents and local associations expressed concerns regarding the potential impact on the Toumba Alana green space, which serves approximately 200,000 people. Community members sought clarity on land usage, legal status, and the protection of public access following meetings between PAOK representatives, Ivan Savvidis, and municipal officials.

Subsequently, the amateur sports club AS PAOK announced it has received the architectural plans and studies for the project. The current objective is to submit a planning permit application by the end of 2026, with construction potentially beginning in the summer of 2027.
