Everything you need to know about Gürsel Aksel Stadium
The Gürsel Aksel Stadium (officially known as the Gürsel Aksel Sports and Healthy Life Center) is a state-of-the-art Turkish football arena and multi-functional complex located in the Üçkuyular neighbourhood of Konak, İzmir.
Opened in 2020 to serve as the home ground for Süper Lig outfit, Göztepe S.K., the stadium seamlessly blends modern UEFA standards with a highly compact, residential urban design.
Long before the modern structure stood, the site housed the historical grounds of Göztepe S.K., which originally opened way back around the club's founding era in 1925. As time progressed, the old stadium could no longer support modern professional football or the club's passionate fanbase. In 2016, the original structure was demolished to make way for a complete architectural overhaul.
Memorable moments at the Gürsel Aksel Stadium
- The Grand Opening (2020): Göztepe inaugurated their home with a huge 2-1 victory against Beşiktaş. Player Halil Akbunar wrote his name into history by scoring the first-ever goal in the new stadium.
- First Cup Final (2021): The Turkish Football Federation chose the venue to host the Turkish Cup final. Beşiktaş lifted the trophy after beating Antalyaspor 2-0 under the high-tech İzmir lights.
- The Istanbul Derby in Izmir (2023): The stadium hosted its second Turkish Cup final two years later. The game drew a massive national television audience as Fenerbahçe beat city rivals, Istanbul Başakşehir, to claim the crown.
The Rooftop Skywalk: The most famous asset of the stadium is a 650-metre-long public walking track built directly onto the roof. It is open to local residents on non-matchdays, offering stunning panoramic views over Izmir Bay.
Türkiye vs Belgium UEFA Nations League Match: Everything you need to know
Türkiye vs Belgium: Recent Form
FIFA Rankings: Türkiye (#27) vs Belgium (#8)
Türkiye may have won their final group game at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the summer, against co-hosts USA, but it proved to be too little too late, as earlier defeats to Australia and Paraguay meant they failed to qualify for the knockout stages.
Belgian fans rode a rollercoaster of emotion during the World Cup. The Red Devils made up for two disappointing draws against Egypt and Iran with a thumping 5-1 victory over New Zealand to progress to the latter stages.
Further wins against Senegal and the USA, set up a quarter-final clash with Spain. Despite being level with the eventual World Cup winners at half-time (1-1), a late Mikel Merino goal would break Belgian hearts.
Türkiye vs Belgium: Recent Head-To-Head Record
There's nothing to separate the sides in the all-time head-to-head record between the sides, with both teams sharing an identical number of victories. During their 11 previous meetings, Türkiye and Belgium both won 3 matches each, while the remaining 5 matches ended in a draw.
The last time the sides met was in June 2011. The UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifier took place at the Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels, Belgium, and ended in a 1-1 draw. Timmy Simons scored for Belgium, and Burak Yılmaz equalised for Türkiye.
