Alsancak Mustafa Denizli Stadium, Football stadium in Alsancak district, Izmir, Turkey.
Alsancak Mustafa Denizli Stadium is a football venue in Izmir featuring a U-shaped layout with two-tier stands covered by a white and black membrane roof. The facility holds around 15,000 spectators and includes four changing rooms, two referee rooms, four coaching areas, and a conference hall for 100 people.
The original stadium opened in 1929 and became the site of the first goal scored in Turkish league play during 1959. It was demolished in 2015 due to structural concerns and rebuilt entirely between 2017 and 2021.
The venue bears the name of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's 1925 visit to the Altay Sports Club at this location, marked by a memorial plate that visitors can see. This connection to the founding father shapes how locals understand the stadium's place in their community.
The stadium is located in the Alsancak district and is accessible by car or public transport. Visitors will find comfortable seating and clear views of the pitch from most positions in the stands.
The facility received a major investment of 130 million Turkish lira during its reconstruction after being demolished in 2015. This substantial redevelopment created a modern sports venue that reflects contemporary building standards.
