== Stadium ==
{{main article|Tsirion Stadium}}
AEL FC plays in the 14,400 seater, [[Tsirion Stadium]], also known as the Olympia Stadium (G.S.O). Tsirion Stadium is a multi-use stadium in [[Limassol]], [[Cyprus]]. It is mostly used for football matches and is also the home ground of [[Apollon Limassol]] and [[Aris Limassol F.C.|Aris Limassol]]. The stadium was built in 1975 with the help of the generous contributor and great philanthropist, Mr. Petros Tsiros, thus the name of the stadium.
== Supporters ==
AEL has very dedicated followers. The main supporter group is SY.F.AEL ({{lang-el|ΣΥ.Φ.ΑΕΛ Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων ΑΕΛ}}) otherwise known as Gate 3. The latter name originated from the gate used to enter the East stand at [[Tsirion Stadium]] where AEL fans are sitted.
