About the Olympiacos double event
On the 19th July, Olympiacos Football Club celebrated their 45th Championship title by winning the Greek Super League Trophy. Taking place amidst an unprecedented crisis and pandemic in Greece, Olympiacos FC wanted this event to be a message of hope and optimism from Olympiacos to Piraeus, from Piraeus to Greece, and from Greece to the World.
They brought in Greek-German artist and director Asteris Kutulas to create a double event, both inside and outside the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. His brief was to create the cup presentation event, and to send a message of strength, optimism, perseverance and hope. The event was made up of two parts.
The Super League Cup presentation ceremony took place inside the stadium. The cup presentation ceremony inside the G. Karaiskakis Stadium featured 3D projection mapping, lights, lasers and pyro. This was synchronised to a symphonic soundtrack composed by Marios Joannou Elia.

Outside in Piraeus Harbour there was a public event for the fans. The events inside the stadium were sent out to LED screens, whilst there was a separate show of lasers, lights and pyro around the water’s edge. The music was remixes by Alexandros Karozas and DJ Antonis Dimitriadis.
