TICKETS SAMSUNSPOR VS SHKENDIJA

Samsun 19 May Stadium is more than a football ground — it’s a modern landmark for big matchdays in Samsun, built as a contemporary, “smart” venue and aligned with UEFA standards. Opened in 2017, it delivers a clean, well-organized stadium layout with strong sightlines and a capacity of roughly 33,900 seats, designed to keep the crowd close to the action.

Inside, you’ll find wide concourses, comfortable viewing from most sections, and an atmosphere that carries sound well — perfect for league showdowns, national-team fixtures, and large-scale events. The exterior makes a statement too: the facade is conceived with motion in mind, and the venue comes alive after dark thanks to its LED lighting (tens of thousands of LEDs).

For arrival, the micro-location is straightforward and visitor-friendly: Yeni Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu, Sanayi, Bakır Sitesi Cd. No:1, Samsun, Turkey. There is on-site parking nearby, and public-transport stops close to the stadium guide you toward the entrance zones; for broader city transport options, continue with the text further down the page.

Samsun, a lively city on the Black Sea coast, blends the energy of a major urban hub with the relaxed feel of a seaside promenade. As an important regional crossroads, it draws visitors who want to experience top-tier entertainment, sporting spectacles, and concerts in a city where there is always “something in the air.” That mix of city rhythm and sea views makes Samsun an excellent choice for an event-focused trip.

The city takes pride in a practical transport network that makes it easy to move between neighborhoods and key locations. For fast urban travel, Samsun Tramvay, operated by SAMULAŞ, stands out, complemented by bus routes and taxis, so reaching arenas and stadiums is simple and stress-free. If you arrive by air, Samsun Çarşamba Havalimanı (SZF) connects the city to major routes, while for rail travel Samsun Gar is a convenient starting point; additionally, intercity bus links via Samsun Otogarı are often the most flexible option when coming from other parts of the country.

Since you are coming for an event, Samsun also offers a great tourist “bonus” before or after the show. Stroll along the waterfront and city promenades, stop by Cumhuriyet Meydanı and Atatürk Parkı with the iconic Onur Anıtı, or look for panoramic views from Amisos Tepesi. To round out the experience, a visit to Bandırma Vapuru fits perfectly, as does unwinding in the seaside districts where it is easy to find a spot for a break and a good meal.
