Samsun 19 May Stadium

Stadium

Capacity: 34,403

Samsun 19 May Stadium is more than a football ground — it’s a modern landmark for big matchdays in Samsun, built as a contemporary, “smart” venue and aligned with UEFA standards. Opened in 2017, it delivers a clean, well-organized stadium layout with strong sightlines and a capacity of roughly 33,900 seats, designed to keep the crowd close to the action.

Inside, you’ll find wide concourses, comfortable viewing from most sections, and an atmosphere that carries sound well — perfect for league showdowns, national-team fixtures, and large-scale events. The exterior makes a statement too: the facade is conceived with motion in mind, and the venue comes alive after dark thanks to its LED lighting (tens of thousands of LEDs).
