A NEW LEISURE SPACE FOR NICOSIA
A NEW MODERN EVENTS VENUE
The redevelopment of Nicosia’s historic GSP football stadium is nearly complete. This follows a four-year renovation project costing more than €19 million. Its transformation will see it become a new events venue set to open to the public soon. The new modern leisure space is part of a larger cultural hub that includes two elevated areas with vegetation and trees surrounding the perimeter.
THE HISTORIC GSP CLOCK
A NEW MODERN APPROACH
A HISTORIC SITE
The site that used to be a football stadium with a capacity of 22,859. Situated in the Strovolos area of the Nicosia district, it was home to the three biggest football clubs of Nicosia. APOEL, Olympiakos, and Omonia all played their home matches at the stadium and it was also the home stadium of the Cyprus national football team. Although small by international standards, this stadium was the largest in Cyprus at the time. During its tenure it hosted several memorable football matches, some of which are still spoken of today.
NEW MODERN GROUNDS
LANDSCAPED GARDENS
NEW FACILITIES
Co-funded by the European Union, the new hub intends to remain accessible for public leisure activities and the multiple event halls will have the capacity to host thousands of visitors. The new events and leisure facility will also feature the iconic clock from the old stadium adding nostalgia to its modernity. The landmark, which has been installed by the main entrance, recognises the site’s sporting history. Other additions include a new small amphitheatre with a giant screen, a waterfall, restaurants, cafes, and several retail outlets. The new underground car parks will have a capacity for over 500 car spaces and will include electric charging stations for electric cars.
