Katerini Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Katerini, Greece. It is used for football matches and is the home stadium of Pierikos. On 19 July 2015 it hosted the final of the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship between Spain and Russia.

The Municipal Stadium of Katerini (or better than the 1st Municipal Athletic Center of Katerini), which was renamed so recently, since until recently it was named National Stadium of Katerini, is located in the District of National Stadium in the city of Katerini. It has a capacity of 4,995 spectators. It has two stands (there are no stands behind the goalposts). The central part of one west stand is covered. It also features light projectors for night matches. There is a tartan, perimetrically, with 8 tracks and other spaces for classic sports.

It is the groundplace of the Pierikos F.C., although it has occasionally hosted other teams such as Vataniakos F.C. and Ethnikos Katerini F.C. because of the lack of another stadium in Katerini that would qualify for the accusations.
