SEF, Olympic Stadium available for Ramadan prayers
The capital’s Muslims will be able to celebrate the end of Ramadan on the grounds of the Olympic Stadium of Athens (OAKA) and at the Peace and Friendship Stadium (SEF) in the southern suburb of Neo Faliro on August 19, it was announced Friday.
The decision was made following a meeting of officials from the ministries of Education and Religion, Interior and Public Order. Groups which would like to make use of these centers should send their applications to SEF and OAKA by August 10.
Those in other parts of the country should contact local authorities to explore options for prayer sites.
