Samsun 19 May Stadium (Turkish: Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu) is a football stadium in Tekkeköy, Samsun, Turkey. It was opened in 2017 with a seating capacity of 34,403 spectators.[1] It is the home ground of Samsunspor which plays in the Süper Lig. It replaced the club's former home ground, the old Samsun 19 May Stadium (located in Canik), which was demolished in 2018.[2][3] The first official match hosted by the stadium was the 2017 Turkish Super Cup final.[4]
The 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, located in faraway Kahramanmaraş Province caused minor damage to the stadium.[5]
The stadium was named after the date 19 May 1919, when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk arrived at Samsun to start the Turkish War of Independence.
