After The Games
The Peace & Friendship Stadium is used by Olympiacos Basketball Club (as it was before the Olympics) and regularly holds crowds of up to 14,905 fans, especially for Euroleague basketball games.
In 2008 it was reported that several of the facilities at Faliro have fallen into a state of disrepair, with the venues afflicted by vandalism, graffiti and strewn with rubbish. However, some of the facilities are presently in use or in the process of being converted for post-Olympics use, as shown below:
Facility | Olympics Use | Current/Proposed Use |
---|---|---|
Peace and Friendship Stadium | Volleyball | Home court for Olympiacos BC (basketball), Concerts, Conventions and trade shows |

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
