It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Apollon Smyrnis.

It was used by Olympiacos for about 2 years (2002–2004) as home ground, due to the construction of their new stadium Karaiskaki.

[1] The stadium was built in 1948 and its inauguration took place on October 17 that year with the presence of some 10,000 fans.

In 2002, Olympiacos undertook a radical renovation to use it as the temporary headquarters of its team until the construction of the new "Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium" was completed, replacing the old one in Neo Faliro, Piraeus.

In 2003, Rizoupoli Stadium took its name in honor of former renowned footballer Apollon Smyrnis, Giorgos Kamaras.
