The preliminary games of the Olympic Football Tournament will be held in the four Olympic cities: Volos, Heraklio, Thessaloniki and Patras. In each of the Olympic cities a Football Stadium has been selected: the Panthessaliko Stadium in Volos, the Pankritio Stadium in Heraklio, the Kaftantzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki and the Pampeloponnisiako Stadium in Patras. With the occasion of the Opening Ceremonies of the preliminary Football Tournament to be hosted in these cities, the Culture Department has developed a programme that will transfer the Olympic experience beyond the Olympic Venues. The Department of Culture is putting together an artistic programme that will promote and showcase the character of each city, combining local and international culture.
