University Sports Centre

The University Sports Centre was founded on the same year with the university, in 1925. Its facilities were transferred to different places until it was permanently established, in 1978, in its present building, on the eastern side of the university campus, next to the Student Club, in September 3rd street, in an area of some 22 hectares.

The Sports Centre is open to all students daily from 15:00 to 20:30, and to the academic staff the same hours two days a week, based on a decision of the administration. During the academic year 2003-’04, approximately 2,500 students and 40 members of the academic staff participated in the sports programmes of the centre.

Its facilities include a football field, a basketball/ handball court, facilities for dancing, gymnastics, weight lifting, ping-pong. For water sports the sports centre uses the facilities of the National and Poseidonion Swimming Pools, and for track sports it uses the facilities of Kaftantzogleio Stadium.
