History
Atromitos FC was officially founded in May 1923 when Kalomvounis, Petos, Glykofridis, Stathopoulos, Synodinos, Rigopoulos, Stamatopoulos, and other students living in Victoria Square (which was then called Kyriakou Square) decided to form a football team. A football team or a football club, in football (soccer is the collective name given to a number of players who play together in a Football game be it Association That same year, Vaggelis Stamatis, a mathematics teacher and member of the Panhellenic football league, joined the administrative board of Atromitos. Because of his prominence in pre-war Greek football history, Stamatis' involvement increased the new team's stature in Athenian football. In 1924, Atromitos was accepted into the Greek football league.
At the time, Atromitos played at the Panellinios football grounds, Panathinaikos, and in Aris park. Panellinios GS Athens (in Greek: ΠΑΝΕΛΛΗΝΙΟΣ ΓΣ) is an athletic club located in Kypseli, Athens, Greece and founded Overview Today three professional teams use the Panathinaikos name — the football team P During their first season in the league's first division, they ended in third place (behind Panathinaikos and AEK). In 1928, they defeated Goudi 4-3 in the final game at Rouf stadium to become champions of Athens.
As champions of Athens, they took part that same year in the first Panhellenic championship, which was organised by EPO. On May 24, 1928, they were beaten 3-1 by Aris (who later became champions) in an away game, and were defeated again on June 3 by Ethnicos Pireaus 5-0.

During the following two years, Atromitos stayed in the upper part of the first division of Athens, and in 1929, they finished third behind Panathinaikos and AEK. They repeated the feat in 1930. In 1932, Iosiph Chouroukchoglou and Nikolaos Epioglou decided to move Atromitos to the town Peristeri. Peristeri ( Greek: Περιστέρι standing for "pigeon/dove" in Greek older forms Peristerio and Peristerion is a suburban municipality Earlier, Atromitos was located in the same area as Panathinaikos, and they had found it hard to establish a large fan base or develop a unique identity.

Atromitos played in the second division until May 1972, when they, under the coaching of Savva Papazoulou, were re-promoted to first division. This division, though, proved difficult to handle, and they were demoted the following year. In 1975, a better-prepared Atromitos returned to the first division with a large fanbase, and ended the year in 13th place, securing their spot in the top flight. In 1976 they improved to end the season in 9th place, the best in their history.
By 1981, Atromitos had succeeded in attracting renowned players such as Stylianopoulos, Álvarez, Toskas, and Athanasopoulos. However, despite high expectations, Atromitos played for the last time in the top games and once more returned to the lower divisions. After years of playing in the third division, Atromitos won promotion back to the second division in May 2002 by beating Levadiakos at Patra stadium.

Stadium
The home ground of Atromitos was once well-maintained but has been recently neglected. In their early days, Atromitos had grown to become the fourth largest municipality in Greece. The first home ground of Atromitos was the grounds of "Bravery", which was located beyond the last shanty town of Evaggelistria. Shanty towns (also called Squatter camps or Favelas are settlements (sometimes illegal or unauthorized of impoverished people who live in improvised
In 1953, Atromitos moved to their present location, which contained only central stands for the spectators; the changing rooms consisted of a small room at the end of the stands. Much later, a larger stand was built with a capacity of 6,000 spectators. It was also used for non-football purposes, such as musical performances.
During the chairmanship of Victor Mitropoulos in EPAE, blue and white plastic seats were installed in the central stand. Before the Athens Olympics, Atromitos installed floodlights and renovated the running track so the ground could be used as a coaching facility during the Olympic Games. The 2004 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, was an International Multi-sport event which was celebrated The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games Under the football ground there are spaces and facilities for activities such as wrestling, chess, and boxing.

Repairs to fragile parts of the stadium due to humidity and earthquake damage are expected to be carried out.
