Turkish football giants with one of Europe’s wildest stadiums relegated to fourth division – Daily Star

Bursaspor, the champions of the country’s top-flight in 2010, were only the second club outside Istanbul to win the Super Lig. Following this success, they unveiled the Timsah Arena in 2015, their new 43,000-capacity stadium, named after their nickname, the Green Crocodiles. The stadium boasts an impressive exterior featuring the head of a giant crocodile and has already made headlines for its unique design.

It hosted a Turkey international last year and is set to be a venue for Euro 2032. However, the club’s decline has led to the stadium hosting fourth division football, following their relegation from the top division in 2019. Unfortunately, Bursaspor’s fortunes worsened this season as they dropped to the fourth level of Turkish football, a decline highlighted by a 5-1 loss to Erokspor.

Their financial issues have also led to a ban on registering new players. The text also mentions an offer from TNT Sports, featuring various sports content including exclusive UEFA Champions League coverage, cycling Grand Tours, tennis and more, available at £30.99 per month. The offer includes a wide range of sports like basketball, rugby, motorsports, boxing, and wrestling.

Finally, the text raises a question about favorite football grounds, which could be an interesting topic for discussion.
