Beşiktaş Stadium
The home of Beşiktaş football club, built right on the Bosphorus with room for 42,684 fans. It replaced the historic İnönü Stadium.
Vodafone Park (Beşiktaş Stadyumu) is the home ground of Istanbul's Beşiktaş football team. Built on the site of the old BJK İnönü Stadium, it opened in 2016 with a capacity of around 42,684. The stadium sits right on the Bosphorus, giving it one of the most scenic settings for a football match in Europe. Beyond league games, it has already hosted the 2019 UEFA Super Cup and is scheduled to stage the Europa League final in 2026 and the Conference League final in 2027.
On non-match days, you can walk along the waterfront promenade right beside the stadium and take in the striking architecture – the white exterior is meant to evoke the crescent and star of the Turkish flag. Even if you're not a football fan, the area around the stadium is lively, with cafés and parks nearby.
“Watch a Beşiktaş match right on the Bosphorus, or just stroll the waterfront next to it for the atmosphere.”
Even without a match ticket, you can peek at the pitch for free from the seaside promenade beside the stadium – gaps in the lower stands give you a sliver of view.
Modern all-seater stadium with step-free access and dedicated wheelchair areas.
