Spata Training Centre

The new architecturally designed AEK Training Centre has been built since 2010 and it is located in Spata, Attica. It is the home of the club's team and academy and is recognized as one of the best in the Balkans. The initial cost of its construction was 15 million euros. In 2013, the training center was modernized, with the creation of the most modern rehabilitation center in Greece and the construction of the 3rd plastic turf field for the needs of the Academies, the cost of which reached 5.5 milion euros.

The modern facility - which includes two natural grass pitches, an artificial pitch, world-class player preparation areas, pool and hydrotherapy complex, altitude room, large-scale gymnasium and specialist sports rehabilitation suites - will support the club's ambitions to attract, develop and retain the highest quality talent.

Since 2014, the official name of the ground is "OPAP Sports Centre".[2]. Alongside the Sports Centre, Dimitris Melissanidis managed to buy another 70 acres of land at this area for a price of €5.5m, in order to enlarge team's Training Centre by constructing more football fields and buildings for the hospitality of team's footballers.[3]

Since then, AEK has been using the said facilities on an area of 144 acres, within which the training center expands.
