Where is Antalya Stadium?
Antalyaspor's home stadium is a football field located in the heart of Konyaaltı beach, near 5M Migros, 100th Anniversary Street, Cam Piramit, Antalya Lunapark, and Akdeniz University. Its exact address is in the Muratpaşa district of Antalya, within the Konyaaltı district. The address of Antalya Stadium is: Meltem, 3802. Sk., 07030 Muratpaşa/Antalya.
In the official opening match of the 2015-16 Süper Lig season, played between Antalyaspor and Beşiktaş in the 9th week, Beşiktaş captain Necip Uysal scored the first official goal.
Antalya's advancements in the accommodation sector and its favorable climate have increased the number of footballers coming from abroad to over a thousand. Teams that hold summer or winter camps in Antalya for both vacation and sporting purposes contribute to Antalya's brand recognition. In previous years, Antalya had few stadiums where clubs could play their matches, and clubs used hotel facilities or fields similar to the former 100th Anniversary Stadium. Atatürk Stadium, Antalya's largest stadium, was completed in 1965 and decommissioned in 2011 due to a structural integrity report. Therefore, the lack of facilities for visiting teams became even more apparent.
Antalyaspor, which once competed in the Super League, was forced to move first to Mardan Stadium and then to Akdeniz University Stadium due to Atatürk Stadium receiving a report deeming it unusable.
Akay İnşaat won the stadium tender on December 7, 2012, and construction work officially began on June 23, 2013.
The 100th Anniversary Project chose a perfectly circular design for the Antalya Arena, but unlike the seashell design of the Pınarlı Project, it resembled the arenas of the numerous ancient cities that Antalya is home to. The 113-square-meter grass section of the stadium grounds, located in front of the south tribune, utilizes special lighting and ventilation systems.
Before the match in the 9th week of the 2015-16 Süper Lig season, Antalyaspor was in 6th place with 14 points. Beşiktaş, on the other hand, had taken first place with 19 points. In the 14th minute of the match, Beşiktaş captain Necip Uysal scored the first documented official goal at Antalya Stadium. Antalyaspor's Samuel Eto'o scored the first goal for his team at Antalya Arena in the 21st minute. Beşiktaş won the match 5-1, with Ricardo Quaresma, Mario Gomez, Olcay Şahan, and Cenk Tosun scoring the other goals. A total of 19,691 people watched the match that day.
