An important step was taken regarding the Zübeyde Hanım Stadium project in Karşıyaka during the extraordinary council meeting of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality.
MOTION UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
In the session chaired by Mayor Dr. Cemil Tugay, the motion prepared in line with the agreement with the Ministry of Youth and Sports was unanimously approved. The motion, submitted by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Department of Youth and Sports Services, stated that the necessary cooperation and protocol processes with public institutions would be carried out for the Zübeyde Hanım Stadium planned to be built on the area of plot 11, block 26675 in Aksoy Neighborhood, Karşıyaka. It was expressed that the authority granted to Mayor Tugay includes signing protocols, conducting official procedures, and monitoring administrative works related to the construction process.
''A VERY NICE STADIUM PROJECT''
Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Dr. Cemil Tugay said, "The implementation project of the stadium is currently being worked on. The licensing processes will follow. We cannot change the project. The project has an author. That author is continuing. Aside from very minor revisions, you have no chance to make changes to the project. If you do, it would open the way for a new lawsuit, leading to another legal process. We would have to wait for that. It is a very nice stadium project. It will be built with care. This process is being carried out in a healthy manner. I hope we will open the stadium before this term ends."
STRONG CONTRIBUTION TO SPORTS CITY IDENTITY
With the completion of the Zübeyde Hanım Stadium, it is aimed to revitalize sports activities in the region. The project aims to provide new opportunities for amateur and professional sports clubs, increase young people's access to sports areas, and bring economic vitality to the district. The stadium is also expected to contribute to local tradespeople and the service sector on match days, invigorate social life in the region, and strengthen Karşıyaka's identity as a sports city.
