Source-derived summary

Kerkyra Stadium (Greek: Δημοτικό Στάδιο Κέρκυρας) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kerkyra, Greece. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of A.O. Kerkyra. The stadium holds 3,000 people and was built in 1961.

History

The stadium is part of Corfu's National Athletic Center (EAC). It has two stands, one large west and one smaller east, built in 1973. Chrysopatas was first placed in 1983. In 2003, headlamps were installed, while in 2005, all platforms were covered with plastic seats. The construction of the shelter over the big stand was made in 2007. In 2010, a 200-seat slot was delivered as a temporary solution, but it is basically not used (no tickets are issued for it). The capacity of the new petal is projected to be 1,230 seats when completed.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as building in Corfu, Ionian Islands Region, Greece. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3294324. Authority coordinates are 39.611, 19.916. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1961, 1973, 1983 and 2003.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
