TOKİ to build nine stadiums

Within the context of protocol signed by the Youth and Sports General Directorate and Housing and Development Administration (TOKİ), stadiums located in city centers that have outrun their economic lifespan and are insufficient for supporting sports activities will be torn down and new sports facilities will be built in their place.
Within this protocol framework, TOKİ, which has already allocated Galatasaray with the 52,000 spectator capacity Seyrantepe Sports Complex, has added to their agenda the construction of nine additional stadiums in eight different provinces, which will be able to accommodate a combined 211,000 spectators.
When the projects are completed, TOKİ will have contributed to both Turkish football and athletics in general a total of ten stadiums accommodating 263,000 sports fans. Once the capacity is determined for the stadium planned to be renovated in Eskişehir, the total capacity of stadiums TOKİ will provide will be approaching 300,000.
