New Sakarya Stadium, Football stadium in Adapazarı, Turkey
New Sakarya Stadium, also known as Sakarya Atatürk Stadyumu, is a football stadium in Adapazarı, Turkey. It has an elliptical base with a seating capacity of 28,154, including VIP and UEFA Club seats, and it serves as the home ground for Sakaryaspor's matches.
The stadium opened on 8 October 2017 with a match between Sakaryaspor and Kahramanmaraşspor, which Sakaryaspor won 2-1. It replaced the club's previous home, Adapazarı Atatürk Stadyumu, and was built at an estimated cost of 150 million Turkish lira.
The stadium is a central place for Sakaryaspor fans, who gather in the Maraton Stand to display banners and choreographies that reference the club's history and local events. On match days, the stands fill with supporters wearing the team's colors, creating a lively and passionate environment.
The stadium is located on the Adapazarı-Karasu road, about 3 km from the city center, making it accessible by car or public transport. Visitors should check the schedule of events in advance, as the venue is primarily used for football matches and may have restricted access at other times.
Before the opening match, the Tatangalar fan group unveiled a choreography in the Maraton Stand that recalled the club's three crests since 1965, the 1999 Marmara earthquake, and a bus accident involving the team. The first goal in the stadium was scored by Ferhat Yazgan.
