Diyarbakır Stadium, Football stadium in Diyarbakır, Turkey
Diyarbakır Stadium is a football ground in the Kayapınar district of Diyarbakır, Turkey. It has a seating capacity of around 33,000 and meets UEFA and FIFA standards, with facilities such as a scoreboard, restaurants, cafeterias, VIP lounges, and parking areas.
The project was first discussed in 2008, and construction began in 2014 under the Ministry of Youth and Sports, with TOKİ overseeing and Yıldızlar Group as contractor. It opened in 2018 with the Turkish Cup final and was initially planned to be called Yeni Diyarbakır Stadyumu, but the name was later shortened.
The stadium is a shared home for several local teams, including Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, and its opening match was the 2018 Turkish Cup final. On match days, the stands fill with fans in the team colors, and the sound of chants carries across the neighborhood.
The stadium is in the Kayapınar area, a short drive from the city center, and is best reached by car or taxi. On match days, arrive early to avoid crowds and allow time for security checks at the gates.
The stadium includes 28 small prayer rooms and 31 toilets designed for disabled visitors, details that are easy to miss. It also has parking for over 2,000 cars, with dedicated spaces for disabled drivers.
