An excerpt characterizing Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoglu

A week before the New Year, I realized that it was not worth staying in Moscow for the weekend. I opened the list of visa-free countries, opened ticket.yandex.ru. At the intersection of the circles “cheap” and “cheap” there was a path to hell, Turkey and then Israel. In general, because... I write this cozy magazine on a topic around football, then a story about how on New Year’s Eve I first found myself without registration, then at a rave, and then woke up in some hospice in the hallway on a sofa where a Russian girl brought me (thanks to her) I’ll leave Nadya, whom I met at a rave, for gatherings over a jar of her grandfather’s slightly fermented grape juice :)

in Istanbul I walked along the local stadiums, except to say that they are all incredibly cool, there is nothing special to say! The stadiums of Besiktas and (a less well-known club in our regions) Kasimpas are located in the center of Istanbul and have the most gorgeous viewing platforms for these stadiums!

BJK İnönü Stadı Besiktas Stadium. The stadium has a good fanshop and a club museum.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium

Kasimpasa SK Stadium, I still don’t understand if they play in the Turkish top league. But in any case, this is a club, as they say, for locals. Walking through the mikrash (by the way, with the same name Kasimpasa, well, more precisely, the club is named after the district), you can see the pennant of this club on every second entrance door! Unfortunately, there is no store :((or I simply didn’t find it). Then we take the metro and go north, change to a special stadium line from one station, where behind the local Tambulskaya Ring Road there is a brand new, handsome stadium of the Galatasaray football club "(Istanbul). The metro station, by the way, was made purely for football! Easy navigation, wide tunnels. If necessary, then at the exit of the car you will be separated into different streams.

Turk Telekom Arena

Well, this is truly a colossus! And nearby (you can barely see it on the left in the photo) there is a two-story fanshop where there is a bunch of everything. The private security guard in broken English forbade me to go around him, but I remembered the precepts of comrades Ovalny and others, and I went around him. Like a puddle, everything is the same around the perimeter, nothing interesting. You can get to the metro from the stadium by an elevator for the disabled (which always works, and not just when the inspection arrives!), which is what I did... on occasion, making a bow

We return to the center, go down to the water, buy CSK MOSKOVA colors

we board the boat, sail across the Bosphorus river almost straight to the Fenerbahce stadium, a colossus that you can simply pass by, because... It is located in dense buildings, and there is no way to see it from a distance. Everything was mixed up around: kebabs, mosques, Turks!

Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadyumu It doesn’t look much like a stadium in appearance, everything below is in shops: a car showroom, a burger joint, a Fener fan shop, some other hat. You can't go around. In fact, it is very crowded around him, and seeing the situation around him with his own eyes, it became clear why not all Spartak fans made it to the game! Next, we take the train and go deep to the east to the Kartal region, where the patrimony of the first Turkish league club Kartalspor FC is located. The station, by the way, is also designed for the fact that sometimes there may be a flow of people, i.e. not one platform, as everywhere else, but two. We pass by Super College (if there was such an opportunity in Moscow, I would gladly go to study at a vocational school to become a fryer, if it were SUPER). Here, for sure, if you don’t know that this is a stadium, then it will be difficult to understand. But I knew. And I found the only place where I can take a photo for you.
Kartal Stadium Holds 10k by the way. In general, this is it. Then they shook their finger at me so that I wouldn’t climb where I shouldn’t, I didn’t argue and went to leave this friendly micron. By the way, for some reason there is a Fenerbahce fanshop next to the stadium. I don't have my own shop :(
Overview map of Istanbul stadiums. As an attentive reader can understand, I bypassed the two most western of them, Olympic and some other. True, judging by the pictures on the Internet, they are complete sad crap, and there was nothing special to catch there... there will be a continuation, and while you are waiting, a cat suddenly appears on a scooter...

Stadium Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu(tur. – Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadyumu) is one of the largest football arenas in Turkey and belongs to the grandee of local football club Fenerbahce.

Story

One of the oldest stadiums in Turkey began its existence in 1908, although since the beginning of the twentieth century this place has served as a venue for football matches and was known as Papazın Çayırı.

With the start of the Istanbul Championship, the field was overgrown with stands and became home to many clubs, including “ Fenerbahce", "Besiktas", "Galatasaray". The name of the stadium was first Silahtar Ağa Sahası, then Union Club Field And İttihat Spor Field.

Fener settled here on a permanent basis in 1929, and in 1933 the stadium became the property of the club and became known as Fenerbahce. Thus, the Canaries became the first club in the country with its own arena.

By 1949, Fenerbahçe was the largest stadium in the country with a capacity of 25,000 spectators and even had one covered stand.

The next reconstruction of the arena (or rather, the construction of a new one in the old place) started in 1964 and lasted for 18 years! After it, Fenerbahçe could accommodate up to 32,000 spectators.

In 1998, the stadium was named after the former president of the club (1934-1950) and Prime Minister of Turkey (1942-1946). Sükru Saracoglu, under which the arena became the property of Fenerbahçe.

A year later, the global reconstruction of Şükrü Saracoglu started, during which all the stands of the stadium were gradually rebuilt. Finally, the unnecessary running tracks, characteristic of all Turkish stadiums of that time, disappeared, the stands became closer to the field and were covered with a canopy.

The stadium continued to host football matches during reconstruction.

The work was completed in 2006 and at the time of its opening, Sükrü Saracoglu was by far the best stadium in Turkey.

In the 2008/2009 season, the arena was entrusted with the right to host the final match UEFA Cup, in which Shakhtar Donetsk won the main trophy in its history.

It is worth noting that Şükrü Saracoglu is a good stadium for Ukrainian teams. In addition to the already mentioned UEFA Cup final, one of the most spectacular victories of the Ukrainian national team was won here - in the qualification for the 2006 World Cup over the Turkish team 3:0.

Structure

The stadium consists of four stands. Two central " Maraton" And " Fenerium"are designed for 14,500 and 15,000 seats, respectively. They house all the VIP seats, sky boxes, a press box with 240 seats, etc. Two stands behind the goal " Migros" And " Turk Telecom"have a capacity of 10.5 thousand each.

In total, Fenerbahçe Stadium can accommodate 50,509 spectators.

There is a sporting goods and souvenir store on the territory of the complex. FENERIUM and the Fenerbahçe club museum.

Parking at the stadium is designed for 10 buses and 1000 cars. A few minutes' drive from the arena there is a larger parking lot with almost 10,000 spaces.

Location and transportation

The stadium is located in the Asian part of the city in the Kadikoy district. To get to the arena from the European part of Istanbul, it is convenient to use the ferry crossing, and several bus routes run from the pier to Şükrü Saracoglu.

In the historical part of Istanbul is located the most famous stadium in Turkey with an interesting name - “Inönü”. It has one of the richest histories in Europe. The Besiktas football club plays its home matches there.

The stadium was opened in 1947, immediately becoming the home arena for Besiktas. Its capacity was very meager - only 15 thousand people. But over time, several restorations and redevelopments were carried out, which increased the arena's capacity to 32 thousand spectators. The stadium has a classic antique design on the outside. The stands are square in shape with rounded corners. Soon the club government will begin another reconstruction, the purpose of which is to refresh the design of the stadium and increase its capacity to 41 thousand people.

The stadium has a number of features. For example, this is the only stadium in the world from which you can see two continents at once - Europe and Asia. Also from the stands you can see architectural monuments, including the Dolmabahce Palace and the Maiden Tower.
