Gates
Fan seating in Greece is segregated by team allegiance. Gate 13, the subject of much graffiti in Athens, is where the most enthusiastic Panathinaikos FC supporters sit in the stadium. Gate 13 is known for creating one of the best atmospheres throughout Europe as the stadium has the fans seated directly next to the field and the endless singing even during negative results continuously pushes players to give their maximum. Gate 13 was founded on the 19th of November in 1966. Since then, they have made their appearance to nearly all the big stadiums of Europe, leaving the home fans amazed by their singing.
