Toumba Stadium (solo trip)
How Solo-Friendly is Toumba Stadium?
What makes it 81% Solo-Friendly: A solo fan can buy mid-price seats, enjoy one of Europe’s loudest atmospheres and browse the club shop, but must cope with flares, loud 100 dB noise and scarce parking.
Positives:
- Easy transport: Bus line 27 stops at the stadium entrance and taxis are plentiful nearby
- Welcoming fan shop: Local supporters at the club shop are happy to share matchday advice
Challenges:
- Limited parking: On-site parking fills quickly; plan to use public transport or off-site lots

Reviews of Toumba Stadium
Georgios Alexandros Tsaousidis
Toumba Stadium is more than just a football ground it’s home. An atmosphere that cannot be described, only experienced. Passion, intensity, and pure emotion from the first minute to the last. A stadium that lives and breathes football, where the fans make all the difference and every match becomes unforgettable.
Roland Zeller
Not the newest stadium - actually a former athletics stadium. Stands are quite far away from the pitch. However, much of football romantics and enthusiast fans!

BLACK AND WHITE MADNESS! Glad to say that my first love was not a girl!

Greetings from a FCSB fan ! Amazing Stadium and spirit !!
George G. Orfanakis
As a stadium I found it somewhat dark and scary, but I guess it matches with the theme of the team. Having said that, I think it suits them really good, because that's how the team theme is and the whole atmosphere and vibe of Paok. If you are a fan or just a traveler, like me, I would consider paying a visit!
