HistoryEdit
After the 2004 Summer Olympics, the indoor facility was partially converted into a 3,000 seat outdoor football pitch. This lowered the seating capacity of the indoor arena from 8,400 to 2,305. The indoor arena has since been mainly used for gymnastics competitions,<ref>E-tipos.com News Item.</ref> and at times to host basketball games of the Greek club Peristeri.
Since the summer of 2007, the outdoor association football pitch has been used as a training center by the Greek club Atromitos.<ref>Atromitos FC Sports Complex Template:Webarchive</ref>
