Tsirion Stadium is an all seater multi purpose stadium in Limassol, Cyprus. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of AEL Limassol, Apollon Limassol and Aris Limassol. In the past, especially in 1990s, it was used as the home ground for the Cyprus national football team. The stadium holds 13,152 people and was built in 1975 by the generous contributor and great philanthropist, Mr. Petros Tsiros, thus the name of the stadium.

The football pitch is surrounded by an athletics track and serves as the home ground to the Limassol Athletics Club GSO (Gymnastikos Syllogos Olympia).

Few matches of the 1992 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship, which was hosted in Cyprus, were played in Tsirion including the two semifinals of the competition on May 14, 1992. In the semifinals, Spain beat Portugal 3-1 and the same day in the other match, Germany beat Italy 6-5 on penalties, after a 0-0 draw. Through these matches, Spain and Germany qualified for the final. The stadium also hosted some Cyprus Super Cup and Cypriot Cup finals.
