The first step in realizing his new vision Dimitris Melissanidis for AEK done. The act of implementing the urban planning study, which also includes the team’s training center in Spata, was approved, which paves the way for the creation of AEK Sportcity.
This project includes sophisticated sports facilities along with a five star hotel and all amenities. With this decision, roads can be opened, wherever necessary, building blocks can be formed and each owner can build. Therefore, AEK, in the space it has, can start to establish AEK Sportcity with the luxury hotel, the stadiums and the facilities.
Dimitris Melissanidis himself he had analyzed his vision in a meeting with representatives of the press in May. “Our new target is AEK Sportscity. We have already prepared the plans for our sports center which will be unique in Greece. About 100 acres in an urban green area. After our stadium we will invest in our sports center. So we want to present you our plans. I want to believe that as we succeeded in our stadium, so will our sports center“, he had said then, presenting photos of the plans.
“Above Serafideio there is now a privately owned space of PAE and there we will implement our plans. AEK’s training center expands, evolves and becomes AEK Sportscity. The city of AEK. Basically we will build two new stadiums for the Academies, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a five star hotel. It will have two floors and has a stone style, like the old XENIA, if you remember the older ones. On the ground floor there will be all the facilities, libraries for children, play rooms, gyms, restaurants. Everything you can imagine. On the first floor there will be 24 rooms and two suites. The entire first floor will be for the academy children and a multi-purpose room. The second floor with 20 rooms and two suites will be for the first group. It’s the new bet. I believe we will win it. This is the only way AEK can grow. We happened to present it at a beautiful time having won two trophies. I really believe in this project and you can be sure that it will also be implemented».
In fact, at that time he had estimated that in two years the project would be completed, without calculating the cost himself, stressing that the benefits of AEK would be multifaceted.
