The Centennial Atatürk Stadium ( Turkish: Yüzüncü Yıl Atatürk Stadyumu) is an association football stadium in Bursa, Turkey. It has a capacity of 43,361 spectators [1] and is home to Bursaspor of the TFF Second League, replacing the Bursa Atatürk Stadium.
The stadium is called the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Stadium ( Turkish: Bursa Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu) in UEFA competitions. [2]
The design of the stadium features a large crocodile's head attached to the north end of the ground, [3] which was constructed from white and green polytetrafluoroethylene, green polyvinyl chloride and glass. [4] This is reflected in the stadium's initial name of the Timsah Arena (English: Crocodile Arena). [5]
The stadium has been included in various bids by Turkey to host the UEFA European Championship, including the unsuccessful bid for UEFA Euro 2024 [6] and the successful bid for UEFA Euro 2032. [7]
The stadium has hosted the Turkish national team. A 2–0 defeat to Croatia during UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying was played at the ground. [2]
The following national team matches were held in the stadium.
