Hello, I am searching for Greek football fans from Athens.

I am a foreigner planning to attend the AEK vs Iraklis match, hoping to witness Iraklis's comeback to the top league and experience the famous AEK atmosphere.

However, I just found out yesterday that the AEK ultras' gates will be closed. Could any locals tell me what usually happens in these scenarios? Does it drastically ruin the atmosphere, or do the ultras simply migrate to adjacent sectors to keep the organized support going?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I would have posten this in aekathens reddit, but i dont have enough karma. Sorry if this is not the type of question that should be in this reddit page.

Hi! I'm visiting Athens next week and want to experience a proper Greek football atmosphere.

I can choose between:

Panathinaikos vs Hradec (European play-off)

Olympiacos vs Atromitos (Super league opener)

AEK vs Iraklis (Super league opener)

I'm mainly interested in the atmosphere, ultras, chanting, tifos/pyro and how full/lively the stadium is likely to be, rather than which game has the best football (still important tho).

For locals who follow Greek football: which one would you choose and why?
