Maltepe Hasan Polat Stadium is a public multi-purpose stadium in Maltepe, Istanbul, Turkey. Since the 2022 season it is the home field of the Istanbul Rams in the European League of Football.[citation needed] The team Istanbul Maltepespor also uses the location for association football matches. The stadiums name honours Hasan Polat, late president of the Turkish Football Federation and former player of Gençlerbirliği S.K.[1]
The stadium was originally built in the eastern Maltepe district along the Marmara Sea in 1985. From 2001 to 2005 it was relocated and constructed in dense urban area. In this time the stands finished first and were covered later. Later the stadium, which was closed due to renovations in the 2008-09 season, could not be put into use in the 2009-10 season due to the yellowing of the grass.[2] The stadium has stands currently holding 5,000 people, has a meeting room for 30 attendencees, parking space for 55 cars and an electronic score board.[3]
