'''Nikos Goumas Stadium''' was a multi-use stadium in [[Nea Philadelphia]], a northern suburb of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It was used mostly for [[football (soccer)|football]] matches and was the home stadium of [[AEK FC|AEK]] [[Athens]]. "Nikos Goumas" Stadium was named after an old president of the club. He contributed to the building and later to the upgrading of the ground. It was previously known as "[[Nea Philadelphia Stadium]]" or simply "[[AEK Stadium]]".

The stdium was built in [[1930]]. Until [[1979]] it had a horseshoe-like shape. It was then that the double-tiered south stand was built, making it the largest stadium in Athens at the time.
This stand, particularly its lower tier known as "Skepasti" (meaning "roofed"), was the home of the AEK ultras (called "Originals").

The capacity of the stadium was over 35,000 from the construction of this new stand in [[1979]], until the installation of seats on all stands in [[1998] which reduced it to 24,729.

Nikos Goumas Stadium was demolished in [[June 2003]].
