Akdeniz Üniversitesi Stadyumu – stadium description
The stadium was opened in 2012 at the Mediterranean University campus, western Antalya. It serves as central sports complex for the university and is able to host both training sessions in halls located along the pitch and international athletic events with its 8-lane track.
Despite its modest capacity it also became the home of largest local club, Antalyaspor, who thus left their older, but centrally located stadium.
