The stadium was originally built in the eastern Maltepe district along the Marmara Sea in 1985. From 2001 to 2005 it was relocated and constructed in dense urban area. In this time the stands finished first and were covered later. Later the stadium, which was closed due to renovations in the 2008-09 season, could not be put into use in the 2009-10 season due to the yellowing of the grass.[2] The stadium has stands currently holding 5,000 people, has a meeting room for 30 attendencees, parking space for 55 cars and an electronic score board.[3]
