==History== The 19 May Stadium, located in the city center, became unused, leading to the initiation of construction in the Eryaman district as an alternative. The foundation of the stadium was laid on May 5, 2016. Initially planned to have a capacity of 18,000 spectators, it was later increased to 22,000.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=25 January 2019 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126063933/http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/sporarena/galeri-iste-ankaraya-yapilan-stadin-son-hali-40761904/3 |date=5 March 2018 |title=İşte Ankara'ya yapılan stadın son hali... |url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/sporarena/galeri-iste-ankaraya-yapilan-stadin-son-hali-40761904/3 |url-status=live |website=Hurriyet.com.tr}}</ref> Consequently, the project was revised, causing a delay in the stadium's opening. On January 28, 2019, the stadium was inaugurated with a match between MKE Ankaragücü and Alanyaspor teams in the Süper Lig.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=28 January 2019 |archive-date=4 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190204214630/https://www.ntvspor.net/futbol/eryaman-stadyumu-nda-acilis-yapildi-5c4f40023988630aa0ecb8b2 |date=28 January 2019 |title=Eryaman Stadyumu'nda açılış yapıldı. |url=https://www.ntvspor.net/futbol/eryaman-stadyumu-nda-acilis-yapildi-5c4f40023988630aa0ecb8b2 |url-status=live |website=Ntvspor.net}}</ref> Alanyaspor won the match 2-0, with Djalma Campos scoring the first goal in the stadium from a penalty kick.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=28 January 2019 |archive-date=29 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129010338/http://tr.beinsports.com/haber/eryamanda-ilk-gol-djalmadan |date=28 January 2019 |title=Eryaman'da ilk gol Djalma'dan |url=http://tr.beinsports.com/haber/eryamanda-ilk-gol-djalmadan |website=Tr.beinsports.com}}</ref>
