Four Greek cities -Thessaloniki,Patras,HeraklioandVolos– have the seldom honour of being the Olympic Cities that host football tournaments at Games-time. There is one selected tournament ground at each of the four: the Panthessaliko Stadium at Volos, the Pankritio Stadium at Heraklio, the Kaftanzoglio Stadium at Thessaloniki, and the Pampeloponnisiako Stadium at Patras.

The Olympic Cities will respond to the requirements of the sport and of the Olympic Family to the utmost of their ability. Operationally and visually they will undergo a general facelift. The aim of OCOG ATHENS 2004 and the public bodies involved is primarily to provide services to visitors to the cities – both spectators and athletes - without disrupting the everyday rhythm of residents’ life.
