About this venue
GSP Stadium is one of the most important football venues in Cyprus and the country's largest stadium, with a capacity of approximately 22,800 spectators. Designed as a modern sports arena, it is distinguished by its wave-shaped roof above the main stands and a compact seating arrangement around the natural-grass pitch. It regularly provides the stage for major domestic fixtures and international football matches.
Inside, the seating layout offers good views of the pitch, while the proximity of the stands and the open stadium configuration help create an intense atmosphere when the venue fills. Visitor facilities include food and beverage outlets, restaurants and cafés, Wi-Fi, a large video screen, accessible seating, as well as VIP areas and private boxes.
The stadium is located at Athalassa Avenue, Nicosia, Cyprus. Large parking areas are available around the complex, making arrival by car convenient, although arriving early is advisable for major matches and events because of increased traffic and entrance procedures.

About the city: Nicosia
Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is not only an administrative hub but also a surprisingly lively city for concerts, sport, and nightlife. Here, a modern urban tempo blends naturally with a Mediterranean feel, making it easy to pair an event with a relaxed evening out, great food, and a city stroll. That mix makes Nicosia appealing for anyone who wants more than just a ticket — a full city experience before and after the arena.
To get around, visitors typically rely on the bus network operated by Cyprus Public Transport (local services in Nicosia) and city routes that connect key areas. If you’re traveling between Cypriot cities, Solomou Square is a major departure point for InterCity Buses, which makes arrivals and returns simple without needing a car. If you’re flying in, the most common international gateway is Larnaca International Airport, with Paphos International Airport as a practical alternative; from there, Nicosia is easily reached by road and bus connections.
With a bit of extra time, go for the “tourist bonus”: walk across Eleftheria Square and continue into the vibrant central streets, including Ledra Street, where the city’s energy is best felt over coffee, shops, and the everyday buzz. History lovers often explore the old core and the impressive Venetian walls, which give the city a distinctive character and a great photo backdrop. Nicosia is a place where culture and entertainment meet within a compact area — ideal for a short city break built around sport or music.
