The Ellinikon Sports Park: Manifest Takes On Full Operational Support
We are proud to announce that Manifest is taking on the full operational support of The Ellinikon Sports Park, one of the most emblematic projects of The Ellinikon, Europe's largest urban regeneration. It is a landmark project in our history, where we provide Integrated Facility Services: Technical Maintenance, Cleaning and Landscaping Services.
The Ellinikon Sports Park covers 287,000 sq.m., of which 115,000 sq.m. are green spaces. It features FIFA certified football pitches, a World Athletics certified track, tennis and basketball courts, athlete accommodation and 1,350 parking spaces.
It is open to the public from 08:00 to midnight, 362 days a year. A park of this scale and footfall needs a fully integrated and absolutely reliable model of technical and operational management.
Three pillars, one integrated operation
- Technical Maintenance, led by the complete electromechanical maintenance of the park.
- Cleaning and support services, across indoor and outdoor areas.
- Landscaping, for the systematic care of the extensive outdoor spaces.
The technical core of the project carries particular weight. It covers critical infrastructure and systems: fire protection, medium voltage and generators, air conditioning, BMS/KNX building automation, security systems and all electrical and plumbing works. It is the invisible mechanism that ensures the safety, availability and uninterrupted operation of the park all year round.
People and robotics
We have built a dedicated team of 35 people for the project, supported by specialised technical and administrative staff. Alongside them, three robotic cleaning systems by Autonomics continuously sweep indoor and outdoor areas.
We already apply robotic facility support in demanding environments such as Four Seasons and Astir Marina, where autonomous sweepers can cover up to 30,000 sq.m. per day.
International expertise through EFS
Our strategic partnership with EFS Facilities Services, one of the leading Integrated Facility Management providers in the Middle East, plays a decisive role in our integrated services. EFS manages more than 52 million sq.m. of facilities, holds an international project portfolio approaching 2.4 billion dollars and employs more than 22,000 people in 27 countries.
Through this partnership we gain access to international best practices, operational standards and specialised knowledge from managing large scale infrastructure. We transfer and adapt this knowledge to the Greek market, for projects of increased technical complexity such as The Ellinikon Sports Park.
Moralius, the nervous system of the project
At the centre of the operating model is Moralius, the first fully cloud-based facility management software developed by Manifest itself. It brings together seven integrated modules (property management, ticketing, quality assurance, asset management, staff management, cost control and smart building) and is certified to ISO 27001 for information security.
At The Ellinikon Sports Park it provides:
- Unified oversight of facilities, equipment and people.
- Coordination of staff, partners, technical teams and robotic systems.
With this single digital view we identify the needs of the facilities early, organise resources more effectively and ensure transparency, speed and consistently high service quality.
The statements
"We are building Manifest as a company that grows organically, investing in its own people, its own technology and international expertise. Our strategic partnership with the EFS group brings valuable experience from large scale projects in the Middle East to Greece. The Ellinikon Sports Park is exactly the kind of complex and demanding project in which this integrated model can demonstrate its value. Staying consistent with our strategy, we are optimistic that in 2028 the group will exceed 100 million euros," said Dionysis Ammolochitis, founder of Manifest.
George Farlekas, CEO of Manifest, noted: "We are taking on a project that operates almost all year round and demands absolute reliability, immediate response and specialised technical knowledge. We meet these demands with trained people, integrated technical and support services, modern robotic solutions and Moralius, which coordinates and records the operation of the project in real time. Our goal is for every visitor and athlete to enjoy a safe, impeccably maintained, high specification environment."
A model built on our own people
83% of our services are delivered by Manifest's own trained staff. This limits our dependence on external contractors and ensures uniform processes, direct control and consistent quality.
With a history of more than 20 years, over 1,000 employees and a presence in 1,200 facilities and 50 cities, we have developed a complete Integrated Facility Management model that combines people, facilities and technology.
Taking on the operational support of The Ellinikon Sports Park is a landmark project for us and confirms our ability to deliver premium integrated services in large scale facilities of particular technical complexity and high footfall.
We thank The Ellinikon for their trust!
