The Esenler Stadium (Turkish: Esenler Stadyumu), also known as Esenler Erokspor Stadium, is a stadium in Esenler district of Istanbul, Turkey. It was opened in 2017.
The stadium was first opened as Kemer Stadium in the Kemer neighborhood of Esenler district of Istanbul in 2000. In 2014, the stadium was demolished to make place for a sports complex named "Esenler Sports Village", which was built on an area of 200,000 m2 (2,200,000 sq ft) by the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul in three years.[1] The new stadium, covering an area of 4,650 m2 (50,100 sq ft) and located in that complex, was opened as Esenler Stadium on 26 March 2017.[2] It is also known as Esenler Erokspor Stadium.[3] In 2020, the stadium's field surface was renovated to make it suitable for professional league matches.[4]
