Gate 7 (Greek: Θύρα 7, romanized: Thira 7) is the most popular association of organized fans of Olympiacos CFP.[1]

History

There is no exact date for the establishment of Θύρα 7. It took its name from the homonymous gate 7 of Karaiskakis Stadium, in Piraeus, from where its hard-core fans watched the Olympiacos games.[2]

Sometime in the early 70's, the then hardliners moved to this port, from gate 13 picked up due to the cheap ticket.

Earlier, "SAFOP" (Association of Athenian Olympiacos Piraeus Fans) was created on Socratous Street and the "Red and White Army" behind Karaiskaki. Even earlier, in 1957, there was the "SFOP" (Association of Fans of Piraeus Olympiacos) with an organized presence on trips to Drama and Thessaloniki, but also to other cities in Greece.
