The Peristeri Olympic Boxing Hall is an indoor arena located in Peristeri, to the west of central Athens. The hall was the site of the boxing events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The venue originally seated 8,400, though it had a public capacity of only 5,600 for the Olympics.
History
After the 2004 Olympics, the facility was partially converted into a 3,00 seat outdoor football pitch. This lowered the seating capacity of the indoor arena from 8,400 to 2,305. The indoor arena has since been used for gymnastics competitions.
Since the summer of 2007, the outdoor football pitch has been used as a training center by Atromitos F.C..
