About the club

Beşiktaş were founded in 1903 - the oldest of Istanbul's big three, the first registered sports club in Turkey, and never once relegated. They have collected sixteen Turkish league titles and eleven Turkish Cups, and in 1991/92 they went through a Süper Lig season without losing a match, something no other Turkish side has managed. The Black Eagles play in black and white, but their identity is shaped just as much by Çarşı, the supporters' group born in 1982 in the district's marketplace - left-leaning, sardonic, devoted, and working to the motto 'Çarşı is against everything'.

Of the three Istanbul clubs, Beşiktaş are the only one whose ground sits in the middle of the city - not out in the northern suburbs like Galatasaray, not across the water in Kadıköy like Fenerbahçe, but on the Bosphorus waterfront, right alongside Dolmabahçe Palace and a short walk from Kabataş. Two hours before kick-off the whole district fills up - the fish market, the square, the lanes of Çarşı - and you drift down to the stadium with everyone else. On an ordinary matchday the welcome is warm and a visitor blends in easily; for a derby against Galatasaray or Fenerbahçe it turns extreme, with smoke, noise and an edge that carries out into the streets afterwards. Derbies come with very few away tickets and sometimes none at all, so a visitor coming alone is better off staying neutral: no rival colours, no filming the ultras' end, and leave with the crowd rather than against it.

The stadium

Tüpraş Stadyumu - Vodafone Park until 2023, and plain "Beşiktaş Park" to UEFA - opened in 2016 on the footprint of the old İnönü ground. Its roughly 42,700 seats make it the smallest of Istanbul's three big stadiums, but the tiers are steep and tight to the pitch and the roof keeps the noise inside. Heritage rules capped the height of the building because Dolmabahçe Palace stands right alongside it, so the east side - the Eski Açık, the old open stand - was kept low and does not block the Bosphorus; its two towers and iron gate, from the old ground designed in 1939, were preserved where they stood. The 2019 UEFA Super Cup was played here, and so was the 2026 Europa League final.

Things to do in Istanbul

Dolmabahçe Palace

The last Ottoman palace stands directly across the road from the stadium: an enormous ceremonial hall, crystal chandeliers and a crystal staircase. Atatürk died here in 1938, and the clock in the room where he died still reads 9:05. Entry is by timed ticket - book ahead.

Beşiktaş Çarşı & the fish market

The neighbourhood that gave the supporters' group its name: a square, a covered fish market and a web of lanes packed with small restaurants, cafés and stalls selling midye dolma (mussels stuffed with rice). Five minutes' walk from the ground, and the right place to eat before kick-off.

Ortaköy

The neo-Baroque Ortaköy Mosque sits on the water directly beneath the Bosphorus Bridge - one of the defining images of Istanbul. The waterfront around it is lined with kumpir (loaded baked potato) and waffle stalls, about two kilometres north of the stadium along the shore.

The ferry from Beşiktaş pier

Ferries leave Beşiktaş pier, two minutes from the stadium, for Üsküdar and Kadıköy on the Asian side. It is the cheapest and the best way to see the Bosphorus: an ordinary transport fare, a quarter of an hour on deck and a glass of tea in your hand.

Worth knowing

  • Beşiktaş are the first registered sports club in Turkey, and one of the few permitted to carry the Turkish flag on their crest.
  • In 1991/92 Beşiktaş finished the Süper Lig season without a single defeat - the only club ever to do it in the Turkish league.
  • Çarşı, the supporters' group, was founded in 1982 in the Beşiktaş district market - hence the name, which simply means 'the marketplace' - and is known for its sardonic banners and the motto 'Çarşı is against everything'.
  • The stadium hosted the 2019 UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea, the match in which Stéphanie Frappart became the first woman to referee a major European final in men's football.

Tips for the travelling fan

  1. 01You cannot enter a Turkish stadium without a personal fan card. The system is now called Passo Taraftar - the successor to Passolig - and foreigners register with a passport at passotaraftar.com.tr; the card can be digital, with no physical card to collect, and you get in with the QR code in the Passo app. Registration itself is free, but every club charges an annual e-ticketing system fee of between 350 and 1,200 Turkish lira, and everyone aged seven and over needs a card of their own. Each match ticket is tied to a named card, so we need the details of every traveller - and it is far better sorted out before you fly than at the gate.
  2. 02The ends behind the goals, north and south, are the cheapest and the loudest: that is where the organised supporters' groups sit, stand for the full ninety minutes, and where the smoke and flags are. For a first visit, or with children, take a side stand - the low east side (the Eski Açık) nearest the Bosphorus, or a central block in the west, the main stand with the dugouts and the executive boxes. Away supporters, when they are permitted at all, are placed high in the corner of the south upper tier, so check your seat is not right next to it. And no alcohol is sold anywhere inside a Turkish stadium.
  3. 03Easiest route: the T1 tram to its terminus at Kabataş, then about ten minutes on foot along the water, past Dolmabahçe Palace. Prettier still is the ferry to Beşiktaş pier, especially from the Asian side; the M2 metro to Taksim and the F1 funicular down to Kabataş also works. Don't drive - the streets around the ground close on matchdays and there is nowhere to park.
  4. 04Turkish kick-off times are confirmed late, tickets usually go on sale only three to five days before the match, and derby dates move - so keep the day either side of the fixture free. On the day itself, arrive one to two hours early: the search at the gates is thorough, queues build at the entry gates, and the district before kick-off is half the reason to come.
