History
The stadium was built in 1975 with the help of Petros I. Tsiros, a famous businessman and philanthropist of the city, to replace the aging GSO Stadium. For his contributions to the construction of the stadium, Tsiros became its namesake.
In the past, especially in the 1990s, it was used as the home ground for the Cyprus national football team.
Some matches of the 1992 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship, which was hosted in Cyprus, were played in this stadium including the two semi-final matches held on 14 May 1992. In the first match, Spain beat Portugal 3–1 and in the other match, Germany beat Italy 6–5 on penalties after a 0–0 draw. Through these matches, Spain and Germany advanced to the final. The stadium also hosted some Cyprus Super Cup and Cypriot Cup finals.
The construction of the Alphamega Stadium replaced Tsirio Stadium as the city's main football stadium.[2]
