Kocaeli Stadium, Football stadium in Alikahya Atatürk, Kocaeli, Turkey
Kocaeli Stadium is a football venue in Alikahya Atatürk with 34,829 covered seats arranged across two tiers, with the lower section positioned 7.5 meters from the playing field. The facility includes executive suites, media positions, and business seating areas for various users.
Construction of this sports facility began in September 2014 and was completed in 2018 after four years under Turkish Housing Administration supervision. The project marked a major investment in the region's sports infrastructure.
The stadium uses black and green, the colors of Kocaelispor, throughout its design while incorporating patterns inspired by local confectionery traditions. This approach reflects the venue's connection to the city and its community.
Access is well-organized across different seating areas, and visitors should arrive early to secure optimal viewing positions from the stands. Underground parking beneath the south stand offers convenient parking for guests.
The upper seating tier slopes at more than 30 degrees, giving spectators a steep vantage point overlooking the grass playing field. This angle ensures every viewer has a clear sightline to the field action without obstruction from other attendees.
