Stadium Information

The Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium, inaugurated in 2005, is the home stadium of Kasımpaşa S.K., located in the neighborhood of Kasımpaşa in Istanbul, Turkey. With a capacity for 14,234 spectators, the stadium is named after the current Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who was born in this neighborhood and was a footballer in his youth. 

Originally, the stadium had an athletics track and a single stand. However, in 2010, significant renovations were made including the removal of the track and the construction of new stands, bringing the field closer to the spectators and improving visibility. These reforms were carried out to meet UEFA criteria and enhance the fans' experience. 

Being located on a relatively small plot, it has required a unique architectural design with irregular shapes to maximize the available space. In addition, the stadium corners have been utilized to house hospitality facilities, offices, and indoor rooms for other sports disciplines practiced by Kasımpaşa S.K. 

The Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium is not only a center for sporting events, but also represents a symbol of the connection between the club and the local community, reflecting the history and development of the neighborhood of Kasımpaşa.
