Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium

Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium is a stadium in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. It was built in 1951 as the home stadium of OFI Crete. The stadium is commonly known by its nickname, Yedi Kule .

The historic ground of OFI was constructed in 1951 and after the death of the historic leader of the club it was named "Theodoros Vardinoyannis". The opening of the stadium took place on November 11, 1951, with the football game of OFI Crete with the team of Α.Σ.Δ.Α.Ν. and the result was a defeat for OFI, 4–1, a result that had a little meaning compared with the benefits that the Cretan club had won. At last, the largest Cretan club acquired its own "home", that would roof all the faithful of the new football ideals developed in Iraklion, Crete.
