The City of Athens has established a vast network of sports facilities, to secure the physical fitness and recreation of our city’s young and older residents. These facilities are distributed throughout the 7 Municipal Districts.
Athens has playgrounds and indoor and outdoor facilities where recognized sports clubs and residents can exercise, indoor gyms and swimming pools where anyone can exercise for a symbolic monthly fee, and organizes major sporting events.
The municipal sports programme is implemented by the City of Athens Culture, Sports and Youth Organization (OPANDA). OPANDA’s activities range from the construction and management of indoor and outdoor sports facilities to responsibility for the sound operation of the City of Athens municipal playgrounds.
