Fenerbahce Sükrü Saracoglu Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey

Capacity - 50,500

Home of Fenerbahce SK, the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium was originally built in 1908 and renovated in both 1999 and 2006. The ground is one of the most modern football venues in Turkey and with a capacity of over 50,000, it is the third-largest stadium in the country.

Sukru Saracoglu Stadium has a five-star UEFA rating, making it eligible to host major cup finals and international matches. In May 2009, the stadium hosted the last UEFA Cup Final, with Shakhtar Donetsk beat Werder Bremen.

After the final, work began in constructing additional seating and a retractable roof at the venue based in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. The stadium is named after Sükrü Saracoglu, the sixth Prime Minister of Turkey and Fenerbahce's former club president.
