Peace and Friendship Stadium renovation and concession

Overview

The Peace and Friendship Stadium (SEF) is undergoing significant changes involving public spending and renovation. Management has spent over 2 million euros on maintenance, repairs, and electrical work using funds from the SEF budget, which receives state support. This spending occurs during a period of legal ambiguity; while the Hellenic Parliament voted on an amendment to concede the stadium to Olympiacos B.C. in July 2025, a formal concession contract has not yet been signed, leaving the facility as public property.

As renovation efforts continue, Olympiacos B.C. has introduced a priority seating system for season ticket holders. Between September 14 and September 18, 2026, current 2025-2026 season ticket holders can purchase a ‘Right to Secure a Season Ticket Position’ for the renovated arena. This system provides fans with priority for seats in the new stadium and for home games during the 2026-2027 season while the team utilizes a temporary venue, such as the Sunel Arena.

Costs for these rights are tiered based on previous seating positions, ranging from €220 for upper tier seats to €3,000 for VIP, with the amount being offset against the final price of new season tickets. The club has noted that seating arrangements in the renovated stadium may differ from previous configurations, meaning specific seats may not be identical to those previously held.
