Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Apoel FC & AC Omonia | Opening: 1999 | Capacity: 22,859 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

GSP Stadium officially opened on 6 October 1999 with a friendly match between Apoel and Omonia (3-3).<\/p>\n

GSP Stadium is one of the few\u00a0stadiums\u00a0on Cyprus that fully complies with UEFA requirements, and is therefore also used by most other Cypriot teams for European matches. It is furthermore the home of the Cypriot national team.<\/p>\n

In 2002, a number of Israeli clubs used the stadium for their European matches due to the problematic security situation in Israel at that time.<\/p>\n

GSP Stadium is part of larger complex that includes other sports facilities. Its most characteristic feature is its wave-shaped roof that covers (part of) the main stand as well as the main stand of the adjacent athletics stadium.<\/p>\n

How to get to GSP Stadium<\/h3>\n

GSP Stadium is located south of Nicosia at about 6.5 kilometres from the city centre.<\/p>\n

The stadium lies adjacent to the A1 motorway, which runs from Nicosia to the south coast of the island. You will be able to see the stadium from the motorway and take the appropriate exit.<\/p>\n
