The Ankara Eryaman Stadium, shared by MKE Ankaragücü and Gençlerbirliği, has been the subject of controversy due to its poor playing surface. In order to capture aerial images of the stadium, İhlas Haber Ajansı used a drone. The stadium, used by the Trendyol Süper Lig team MKE Ankaragücü and the Trendyol 1. Lig team Gençlerbirliği, has been the center of ongoing debates regarding the condition of its playing surface. However, efforts to improve the ground’s condition have been diligently ongoing.
During the dates of 2-8 February, the two capital teams played a total of 4 matches at the Eryaman Stadium, further fueling the controversy surrounding its playing surface. After hosting the Gençlerbirliği – Trabzonspor match for the Ziraat Türkiye Cup Round of 16 on February 8, the stadium underwent maintenance for 10 days.
Since its opening, a total of 29 matches have been played at the Eryaman Stadium for the duration of the 2023-2024 season. The decision on whether the Trendyol Süper Lig’s 26th round match between MKE Ankaragücü and Galatasaray will be held at the Eryaman Stadium will be determined by the decision of the Turkish Football Federation’s (TFF) turf inspector.
