Home to one of Turkey’s most successful clubs, Beşiktaş J.K., the 41,188 seated Vodafone Park was constructed to replace the club’s former stadium of İnönü Stadium. The old stadium was considered a historic monument which had initially delayed plans for renovation, however approval was finally given in 2013 and the new stadium was opened in 2016, albeit with the walls and two towers of the old Eski Açık stand remaining.
Vodafone Park hosted the 2019 UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea, in which Liverpool won 5-4 on penalties after the two teams played out a 2-2 draw.
