Akdeniz University Stadium, University stadium in Antalya, Turkey
Akdeniz University Stadium is a sports ground on the campus of Akdeniz University in Antalya, Turkey, built around a natural grass pitch and an athletic track that runs around the field. The stands wrap around three sides of the pitch and can hold several thousand spectators.
The stadium opened in the early 2010s and was built to support sports activity on the university campus. In its early years, it also served as a temporary home for a professional football club based in Antalya.
The stadium sits at the heart of campus sports life, where students gather to train and compete throughout the academic year. On match days, the stands fill with fellow students and local supporters, giving the ground a community feel that goes beyond university sport.
The stadium is on the university campus in the Pınarbaşı district, west of Antalya city center, and is most easily reached by following signs to the university. Access is generally restricted to event days, so checking in advance will save you an unnecessary trip.
The stadium combines football and athletics on the same ground, which is relatively uncommon for a university facility in Turkey. This means that on any given week, the same track might host a sprint race and a football match just days apart.
