Diyarbakır Stadi – design description

The new stadium holding 33,000 people is to be built within 2014-2015, with the tender for its construction to begin in January 2014. The new arena is to replace the outdated Ataturk stadium, standing in the centre for over 50 years.

The stands are to be incorporated into a very unusual outer form with an octagonal star’s blueprint. Anchor tenancy is to be taken by Diyarbakirspor, the Super League club traditionally associated with Kurdish community.
