Karaiskakis Stadium disaster

The Karaiskakis Stadium disaster, also called the Gate 7 Tragedy, was an incident that occurred on 8 February 1981[1] at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Neo Faliro, Piraeus, Greece, after the conclusion of a football match between Olympiacos and AEK Athens.

The main cause of the accident, according to the official police report, seems to have been a partially closed door.

The service is attended by thousands of fans every year, who are rhythmically shouting the phrase "Αδέρφια, ζείτε, εσείς μας οδηγείτε."

(Adhérfia, zíte, esís mas odhiyíte, "Brothers, you live, you are the ones who guide us.").

"Gate 7" (Θύρα 7), οne of the biggest and most supportive fan clubs of Olympiacos, was named after the incident.
