Buy Gaziantep FK tickets for the 2026/27 Season and watch the Falcons at Gaziantep Stadium, one of the most striking modern grounds in Turkish football. Founded in 1988 and known as Gazişehir Gaziantep until 2019, the club won promotion to the Süper Lig through a play-off final in 2019 and has competed in the top flight ever since, playing in red, black and white in front of a crowd that can reach more than 30,000.

The stadium's mosaic-clad walls draw on the ancient city of Zeugma, and matches against Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor bring the largest crowds of the season to south-eastern Turkey. This guide explains how pricing works, where to sit, how tickets are sold in Turkey and what to expect on matchday, so you can choose the right seat with confidence.
Süper Lig tickets are sold digitally and must be linked to a registered fan card, so every supporter needs an account before buying. Across the league, tickets typically go on sale only three to five days before each match. For Gaziantep FK's 2025/26 season opener against Galatasaray, sales opened at 11:00 on the Monday before a Friday night kick-off. Club tickets for Gaziantep FK home matches have been released through the club's ticketing partners in the days before each fixture, and for visits from the Istanbul giants or Trabzonspor the most popular sections can sell quickly once a sale opens.
For visitors, the registration step is the main hurdle. Foreign supporters can register with a passport, but the process takes time, and tickets must match the club logo on the fan card for home and away sections. A supporter flying in from abroad may also need to book travel before the club announces its sale, which leaves little margin for error.
A verified marketplace gives those buyers another route. Listings on 1BoxOffice show the stand, price and delivery method before you pay, along with any conditions attached to the ticket. Because Turkish match tickets are linked to the holder's fan card, read each listing's notes carefully so you know exactly how your ticket will be issued and what you need for entry.
1BoxOffice has been connecting football supporters with tickets since 2006, with a model built around buyer protection. Every listing comes from a vetted seller, every payment is encrypted and every order can be followed from purchase to delivery.
For a club that draws visiting supporters from across Turkey and beyond, including fans who travel specifically for the big four fixtures, that structure removes the guesswork. You see the price, stand and delivery terms before committing, and support is available in English and Arabic if anything changes before matchday.
Gaziantep FK's average home crowd was around 11,700 in 2025/26, according to club president Memik Yılmaz, in a stadium that holds more than 30,000. That gap explains the pattern of demand: most league fixtures have plenty of seats available, while a handful of big matches fill the ground and push prices up. The swing can be dramatic. In the club's first Süper Lig season, home crowds ranged from under 2,000 to almost 27,000 depending on the opponent. Attendances are rising, too: the average home league crowd of 8,207 in 2023/24 had grown by more than 40% to around 11,700 by 2025/26, which means more competition for seats at the bigger fixtures.
The factors below explain which fixtures are tightest.
The practical lesson is that timing matters most for the big four. For a standard league match against a mid-table side, listings typically remain available for longer and prices are far more forgiving.
Turkish ticket prices are set per fixture, and Gaziantep FK price visits from the big clubs far above standard matches. For the 2025/26 home match against Galatasaray, club prices ranged from 2,827 Turkish lira in the lower south stand to 6,927 lira in the lower VIP stand, roughly £43 to £105 at current exchange rates, with away tickets at 3,627 lira. For the same fixture in February 2025, prices ran from 1,950 lira behind the south goal to 4,000 lira in the lower VIP stand, around £30 to £61 at current rates.
That comparison shows how quickly face values can move in Turkey. Between February and August 2025, the price of a south stand ticket for the Galatasaray fixture rose by around 45%, and a lower VIP seat by more than 70%. Across the Süper Lig, club prices have ranged from around 1,000 to 15,000 lira, roughly £15 to £227, depending on the club, fixture and section, so the figures here are best treated as a guide to relative prices rather than fixed amounts.
Standard league fixtures are priced far lower. Away from the big Istanbul clubs, adult seats at Süper Lig grounds outside Istanbul often start under €20, and Gaziantep FK's large capacity means there is usually a wide choice of seats for matches against mid-table opponents.
Three factors move the price most. The first is the opponent, with the big four in a completely different bracket from the rest of the league. The second is the stand, with the VIP and Maraton stands along the sides priced well above the ends. The third is timing, as resale prices for big matches can rise as kick-off approaches and the lower-priced sections sell out.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Süper Lig (standard fixtures) | £10 – £30 |
| Big four visits (south stand, face value) | £30 – £45 |
| Big four visits (Maraton stand, face value) | £42 – £60 |
| Big four visits (VIP stand, face value) | £53 – £105 |
| Turkish Cup | Varies by round and opponent |
| Resale for high-demand fixtures | Typically above face value once the lower-priced stands sell out |
Prices reflect typical ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Not through club channels. Every Süper Lig ticket must be linked to a registered fan card, the Passo Taraftar Kart that replaced the old Passolig card, and one card cannot be used to admit more than one person. Foreign supporters can register by selecting the foreign passport option, entering their passport details and uploading a clear passport photo, but the process must be completed before buying, and tickets for home and away sections must match the club logo on the card.
Gaziantep FK has also sold tickets through additional ticketing partners and at a dedicated sales point in the city's Demokrasi Meydanı, but the fan card requirement still applies at the turnstile. For a supporter who has never attended a match in Turkey, that is a significant extra step, particularly when travelling for a single fixture.
A marketplace removes the need to time a release. You choose the fixture, compare listings by stand and price and pay in GBP through secure, encrypted payment. Each listing states how the ticket will be issued and what you need for entry, so confirm those details carefully before you complete your order.
Season cards are typically sold before each season for Gaziantep FK's home league matches, and like single tickets they are linked to the holder's fan card. Season card culture is still developing at the club, which moved into its new stadium only in 2017 and has spent most of its history outside the top flight. The president has spoken publicly about wanting to double average attendances by bringing more local players into the team. If that growth continues, season cards and the most sought-after seats for the big four are likely to become harder to secure.
The products below explain how tickets are sold, from the fan card every supporter needs to the premium VIP categories. Prices are set by the club each season, so treat the table as a guide to the structure rather than a fixed price list.
| Product | What It Covers | How It Works | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fan card (Passo Taraftar Kart) | Required for every Süper Lig ticket | Registered in the holder's name; foreign fans can register with a passport | Must be completed before buying |
| Season card | Home Süper Lig matches across the season | Linked to the holder's fan card | Typically sold before the season |
| Single match ticket | One home fixture | Sold digitally in the days before the match | Limited for the big four |
| VIP stand | Premium sideline seating | Sold per match in lower and upper tiers | Limited numbers |
| Resale listing | Any fixture with seller availability | Set by the seller | Issue method shown on each listing |
Gaziantep Stadium is a compact, football-only bowl with stands close to the pitch and no running track. Its 30,320 seats are arranged around four sides, with the VIP and Maraton stands along the touchlines and stands behind each goal. Early-season matches in August and September can be warm even after dark, so dress for the conditions. The stadium also has 54 executive suites. Seating plans for the ground label the ends as Güney Kale Arkası (south, behind the goal) and Kuzey Kale Arkası (north, behind the goal), with separate VIP, protocol and press areas and a dedicated Misafir section for visiting supporters.
The VIP stand offers a strong balance of view and comfort and carries the highest prices. The Maraton stand has lower and upper tiers with clear sightlines along the pitch. The south stand behind the goal is typically the most affordable home section, while visiting supporters are allocated a separate section.
Segregation is strict. Home and away tickets must match the club logo on the holder's fan card, so supporters of a visiting club cannot simply buy a seat in a home stand, and stewards may refuse entry to anyone in the wrong section. If you are a neutral or travelling with supporters of both clubs, read the listing notes carefully before you buy.
| Stand | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP Alt (lower VIP) | Central views and comfort | Premium | Highest-priced general category |
| VIP Üst (upper VIP) | An elevated central view | Upper | Slightly lower prices than the lower tier |
| Maraton Alt (lower Maraton) | Sideline views close to the action | Mid to upper | Opposite the main stand |
| Maraton Üst (upper Maraton) | A wide view of the pitch | Mid | Usually a good choice of seats |
| Güney (south stand) | Atmosphere and value | Lower | Behind the goal, home to vocal supporters |
| Misafir (away section) | Visiting supporters | Mid | Tickets must match the away club on the fan card |
Gaziantep sits in the south-east of Turkey, so away trips often mean long journeys. Matches in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and on the Black Sea coast are usually reached by air, while fixtures in southern Turkey can be made by road. The trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe or Beşiktaş is the highlight of the away calendar for many supporters. Galatasaray's RAMS Park, Fenerbahçe's ground in Kadıköy and Beşiktaş's stadium on the Bosphorus are known for their atmosphere, and away allocations there are small compared with demand.
Away sections in Turkey are allocated to visiting supporters, and tickets must be bought with a fan card carrying the visiting club's logo. Authorities can restrict or close away sections for high-risk matches, so confirm whether an away allocation is available before travelling. At home, visiting supporters pay prices set by Gaziantep FK: for the 2025/26 Galatasaray fixture, away tickets cost 3,627 lira, around £55, close to the price of a seat in the Maraton stand.
| Topic | What to Know |
|---|---|
| Domestic away allocation | Sold to holders of fan cards carrying the visiting club's logo |
| Istanbul away trips | The most popular away days; allocations at the big clubs can be small |
| Access requirements | Fan card, photo ID and a ticket that matches your card |
| Restrictions | Away sections can be restricted for high-risk fixtures |
| Travel from Gaziantep | Flights from Gaziantep Airport to Istanbul and Ankara; road travel for southern fixtures |
Families, groups of friends and corporate guests want different things from a match. The table below matches common priorities with the stand that suits them. Use it as a starting point, then read each listing's notes for the exact section and any restrictions.
Groups should also think about sitting together. Pairs are easy to find for most fixtures, while larger blocks become scarcer for the big four. If staying together matters more than the exact stand, widen your search to the upper tiers.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Güney (south stand) | Home to the most vocal supporters behind the goal |
| Best view | VIP Alt or Maraton Alt, central blocks | Close sideline views along the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | Maraton Üst | Calmer seating with a full view of the pitch |
| Premium experience | VIP stand or executive suites | Central seating and premium facilities |
| Lower-priced option | South stand at standard league fixtures | The lowest face values in the stadium |
Gaziantep Stadium opened on 15 January 2017 in the Şehitkamil district, about 10 kilometres from the city centre, after construction that began in August 2013. Construction took around three and a half years from the groundbreaking on 24 August 2013. The new ground replaced the old Kamil Ocak Stadium, named after the politician Kamil Ocak and opened in 1974, as the city's main football venue. From 2017 until 2024 it carried the sponsored name Kalyon Stadium, and in August 2024 it was renamed Gaziantep Stadium, sometimes referred to as the Gaziantep Metropolitan Stadium.
The design is what sets it apart. The outer walls are covered in mosaic patterns inspired by Zeugma, the ancient city on the Euphrates whose mosaics are among Gaziantep's best-known treasures. Inside, the stands rise steeply around a hybrid grass pitch, with no running track between supporters and the players, which keeps the crowd close to the action.
The stadium has also hosted the Turkey national team. Its record attendance of 29,017 was set on 19 November 2022, when Turkey beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in a friendly. For Gaziantep FK, the largest crowds come for visits from the Istanbul giants, when the bowl fills with red and black alongside the colours of the visiting club.
Before the move, Gaziantep FK's journey took in several grounds. In its early years as a municipal club, it played at the Gaski Stadium in Pancarlı, which it shared with GASKİ. The move to a purpose-built, modern stadium in 2017 coincided with the club's rebranding as Gazişehir Gaziantep and its push towards the top flight.
Getting there takes some planning, as the stadium sits outside the city centre. Taxis are the simplest option for most visitors. The city also has a three-line tram network of around 35 kilometres that opened in 2011, as well as the Gaziray commuter rail line with 16 stations, so plan routes in advance if you plan to use public transport. Allow extra time before evening kick-offs against big clubs, when traffic around the stadium builds well in advance.
Gaziantep itself is one of Turkey's leading food cities. In 2015 it became the first Turkish city to be named a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, and Gaziantep baklava was the first Turkish product to receive a European protected geographical indication, in 2013. Many visitors build a match into a weekend of eating and sightseeing.
The Zeugma Mosaic Museum, opened in 2011, displays mosaics from the ancient city across around 1,700 square metres, giving useful context for the stadium's design. Gaziantep Castle, whose hill is thought to contain Bronze Age settlement layers, and the old bazaars sit in the city centre, and Oğuzeli Airport serves domestic and regional international routes, making a match trip straightforward from Istanbul and Ankara. The city of more than two million people sits around 97 kilometres north of Aleppo. It was badly affected by the 2023 earthquakes, though less severely than some neighbouring provinces, and restoration of its historic sites has continued since.
Premium seating at Gaziantep Stadium is concentrated in the VIP stand on the main side, which is sold in lower and upper tiers. For the 2025/26 home match against Galatasaray, lower VIP tickets cost 6,927 lira and upper VIP tickets 5,927 lira at face value, roughly £105 and £90. The stadium's 54 executive suites provide private viewing for corporate guests and groups. For the same fixture in February 2025, VIP prices were 4,000 lira in the lower tier and 3,500 lira in the upper tier, around £61 and £53, showing how premium prices have climbed alongside general admission.
Inclusions vary by fixture and category. Read the listing notes on any premium ticket for the exact inclusions and arrival times. For visits from the big four, VIP seats are among the first to sell.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| VIP Üst | Upper-tier seating in the VIP stand | Up to around £90 for big-four fixtures |
| VIP Alt | Lower-tier central seating in the VIP stand | Up to around £105 for big-four fixtures |
| Executive suites | Private viewing for groups and corporate guests | Set by the club per fixture |
| Group bookings | Blocks of seats together for clients or celebrations | Varies by fixture and group size |
Buying through 1BoxOffice takes a few minutes, and every step shows you what you are paying for before you commit. Here is how an order works from first search to matchday.
Step1
Find your fixture
Open the Gaziantep FK listings and choose the match you want, whether it is a home Süper Lig fixture, a cup tie or an away trip. Confirm the date, competition and stadium before going further.
Step2
Create an account or log in
Use 1BoxOffice register to set up your account in a minute, or log in if you have bought before. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport or ID, as Turkish tickets are linked to the holder.
Step3
Select your seats
Compare listings by stand, price and the number of seats available together. Read the listing notes for the issue method, fan card requirements and whether the seats are in the home or away section.
Step4
Review your order
Confirm the fixture, quantity, stand and total price, including any fees, before moving to payment. This is the moment to make sure the date and kick-off time match your travel plans.
Step5
Complete secure payment
Pay through the encrypted payment process. Your order is protected by the 150% money-back guarantee, so if your tickets do not arrive and no suitable alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund.
Step6
Follow your delivery
Use track order to follow your purchase until the tickets reach you. Tickets for matches in Turkey are often issued close to matchday.
Once your order is confirmed, keep your confirmation email, account details and photo ID together. Süper Lig kick-off times are confirmed in blocks during the season, so allow some flexibility when booking travel.
These are the fixture types where listings typically thin out fastest at Gaziantep Stadium, and where buying early gives you the widest choice of seats together. Because club sales open only days before kick-off, resale listings are often the only option for supporters who need to plan further ahead. The lower-priced south stand is usually the first section to go for these matches.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Galatasaray at home | The Süper Lig champions draw large support in the region and fill the stadium |
| Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş at home | Istanbul giants with national followings and strong local fan bases |
| Trabzonspor at home | A large travelling following and a recent Turkish Cup winner |
| Season openers | Opening-day crowds far exceed the season average |
| Turkish Cup knockout ties | One-off dates with a quarter-final or semi-final place at stake |
Delivery depends on the fixture and how the ticket is issued. Every listing states its delivery type, so review it before buying.
Süper Lig tickets are linked to a registered fan card rather than issued as standalone tickets, and tickets cannot be assigned to accounts created under the child application option. Follow the instructions in the listing notes on how your ticket will be issued, and make sure the name on your order matches your passport or ID.
Entry procedures at Turkish stadiums are strict, particularly for high-profile matches. A little preparation keeps the walk from turnstile to seat simple.
Aim to arrive at least an hour before kick-off for standard matches and earlier for visits from the big four, when security queues and traffic around the stadium are heaviest. The stadium's location outside the city centre means the journey itself can take longer than expected.
Allow extra time at the turnstiles if this is your first match in Turkey, as fan card verification can take longer for visitors. Every supporter needs their own valid fan card or ticket and a photo ID, such as a passport, with details matching the ticket. One card cannot be used to admit more than one person. If you have a problem with a fan card bought through club channels, the club has operated a sales and support point in the city's Demokrasi Meydanı. Home and away sections are strictly segregated, and supporters may be refused entry if their ticket does not match the section.
Bring as little as possible. Large bags are typically refused, and there is no guarantee of storage near the stadium. Flares, pyrotechnics, glass, coins, lighters and banners without approval are generally prohibited at Turkish grounds, and searches are a condition of entry.

Gaziantep FK's story is one of patient progress through the Turkish leagues. The club spent three decades climbing from the regional divisions before reaching the Süper Lig, and it has since become the city's flag-bearer at the top level.
The club began life as a company team. Sankospor, backed by the Gaziantep-based Sanko Holding, worked its way into the national league structure in 1993 and won the Third League in 1996/97. In 1999 the municipality took over, and the club became Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor, playing in blue and white. For years it lived in the shadow of Gaziantepspor, the city's established top-flight club, which was a separate club and was dissolved in 2020.
Gaziantepspor, founded in 1969, had been one of Anatolia's strongest clubs. It finished third in the Süper Lig in 1999/2000 and 2000/01, and in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup it beat Lens 6-1 on aggregate before going out to Roma. It played at the Kamil Ocak Stadium, opened in 1974 with around 17,000 seats. Relegation in 2017 and 2018 was followed by financial collapse, points deductions and withdrawal from the professional leagues, and the club closed in July 2020. Its fall left Gaziantep FK as the city's only top-flight representative.
As a municipal club, Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor became a regular in the First League, the second tier. Mehmet Erol Maraş took over as president in June 2004, and the club briefly played as Büyükşehir Gaziantepspor in 2016/17 before the break from the municipality the following year. The 2004/05 Second League title, won by a side that scored more than 90 league goals, took the club back up, and it established itself as a promotion contender. The play-off defeat to Orduspor in 2010/11 was a painful near miss, but signings such as Shola Ameobi showed that the club had ambitions beyond the second tier.
The opening of the new stadium and the rebranding as Gazişehir Gaziantep in 2017 gave the club a fresh identity, with red as the dominant colour and black and white as accents. Two years later, it reached the Süper Lig for the first time in its history, beating Hatayspor on penalties in the play-off final at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul. It was the club's fourth play-off campaign, and it made Gaziantep FK the second club from the city to reach the top flight after Gaziantepspor.
The debut season set a high bar, with 11 wins, 13 draws and 10 defeats. With goalkeeper and captain Günay Güvenç in goal and loan signings including Alexandru Maxim from Mainz, Olarenwaju Kayode from Shakhtar Donetsk and Patrick Twumasi from Alavés, the side reached third place in the early rounds and finished eighth, with Kayode scoring ten goals. A home crowd of 26,923 that season showed the potential of the new stadium, before matches were played without spectators from March 2020.
Gaziantep FK's early Süper Lig seasons were impressive. The club finished eighth in its debut campaign under Romanian coach Marius Şumudică, climbing as high as third in the early weeks, and in 2020/21 it challenged near the top of the table before Ricardo Sá Pinto took over in January and steered the side to ninth with 58 points from 15 wins, 13 draws and 12 losses. Maxim scored 12 goals in all competitions that season and became one of the club's key players. Alexandru Maxim became the creative heart of the side, scoring 14 goals in 2021/22. In February 2023, the earthquakes that devastated south-eastern Turkey forced the club to withdraw from the season. Around 900 buildings collapsed in Gaziantep alone and historic sites including the castle were badly damaged. The club announced its withdrawal from the Süper Lig and the Turkish Cup on 12 February, and the Turkish Football Federation kept its top-flight place. Gaziantep FK returned in 2023/24 under a returning Şumudică to finish 11th, with Denis Drăguș scoring 14 goals, and has remained in the top flight since, rebuilding under president Memik Yılmaz.
The dugout has changed often since. Selçuk İnan left in May 2025 and former Turkey striker Burak Yılmaz led the side into 2025/26 before Mirel Rădoi, a former Romania national team coach, arrived in April 2026 on an 18-month deal. The club said it had followed Rădoi for months and valued his record with young players, but he departed early in 2026/27, and in September 2026 the club appointed Orhan Ak, a former Galatasaray and Turkey defender who had worked as a Trabzonspor assistant and coached Fatih Karagümrük and Eyüpspor.
These are the figures and players whose contributions define Gaziantep FK's history, from its founding to its years in the Süper Lig.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adil Sani Konukoğlu | Founding president | Led the club at its foundation as Sankospor, backed by Sanko Holding. His support gave the club its start in national football. | Founding president in 1988 |
| The 2019 promotion side | First League play-off winners | Beat Hatayspor on penalties in the play-off final to take the club into the Süper Lig for the first time. The win came at the club's fourth play-off attempt. | 2018/19 promotion |
| Marius Şumudică | Head coach | The Romanian coach led the club through its first Süper Lig season, taking the side as high as third in the early weeks. His team finished eighth, still the club's highest top-flight finish, and he returned in 2023 to guide the club back after the earthquakes. | 8th in 2019/20; 11th in 2023/24 |
| Alexandru Maxim | Midfielder | The Romanian playmaker has been the creative heart of the side across several Süper Lig seasons. He was the club's leading scorer in 2021/22. | 14 goals in 2021/22 |
| Ricardo Sá Pinto | Head coach | Took over in January 2021, after a strong first half of the season under Marius Şumudică. He guided the side to a ninth-place finish with 58 points. | 58 points in 2020/21 |
| Denis Drăguș | Forward | The Romanian striker led the scoring as the club returned to competition after the 2023 earthquakes. His goals helped secure an 11th-place finish. | 14 goals in 2023/24 |
| Memik Yılmaz | President | Took office in January 2023, weeks before the earthquakes, and led the club's return to competition. He was re-elected in June 2025. | President since 2023 |
Gaziantep FK's honours reflect a club that built its way up through the Turkish pyramid. Counts below are cross-referenced against club records and independent sources.

Gaziantep FK's biggest fixtures are defined by visits from Turkey's most famous clubs and by the play-off battles that shaped the club's rise.
Galatasaray, the 2025/26 Süper Lig champions, are the leading draw on the home calendar. Gaziantep FK opened the 2025/26 season at home to them, and the fixture regularly brings the highest club prices of the season and the largest crowds to Gaziantep Stadium. Head coach Orhan Ak won the Süper Lig and the Turkish Cup as a Galatasaray player between 2003 and 2008, which adds another layer to the fixture. Results have often favoured the visitors, including a 3-0 Galatasaray win in 2023/24 that was Gaziantep FK's heaviest defeat of that season, and the club's away trip to RAMS Park closes the 2026/27 league campaign in May 2027.
The other Istanbul giants bring similar demand. Both clubs have large fan bases across Turkey, including in Gaziantep, and their visits fill the stadium with supporters of both sides. Away trips to Istanbul to face them are the highlight of the season for many Gaziantep supporters. At home, club prices for these visits are set in the same high bracket as the Galatasaray fixture, so expect face values well above a standard league match.
Trabzonspor, the 2025/26 Turkish Cup winners, bring one of the largest travelling followings in the country. Fixtures against them carry national attention and draw some of the largest crowds of the season. There is a personal link too: head coach Orhan Ak spent three years on Trabzonspor's coaching staff and was briefly their interim head coach in 2023.
For decades, Gaziantepspor was the city's top-flight club and the benchmark for Gaziantep FK. The two were separate clubs, and the older club's European nights and third-place finishes set a standard the city still remembers. Since Gaziantepspor's dissolution in 2020, Gaziantep FK has carried the city's name alone in the Süper Lig.
The 2019 play-off final against Hatayspor is the most important match in the club's history. Gaziantep led at half-time, Hatayspor equalised in the 82nd minute and the tie went to penalties after extra time, where Gaziantep won 5-3 to reach the Süper Lig. Meetings between the two southern clubs carry the memory of that night in Istanbul, which came at the club's fourth play-off attempt and eight years after the defeat to Orduspor.
The 1-0 play-off defeat to Orduspor in 2010/11 was the club's most painful near miss. It came after a 57-point season and delayed the club's first top-flight appearance by eight years. The memory of that defeat made the 2019 shootout win over Hatayspor all the more emotional for long-standing supporters.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Gaziantep FK finished 15th with 46 points, avoiding relegation. Alexandru Maxim led the scoring with 14 goals. Trabzonspor won the league for the seventh time. |
| 2022/23 | Under Erol Bulut, the club withdrew from the Süper Lig and the Turkish Cup in February 2023 after the earthquakes that struck the region. The Turkish Football Federation kept its top-flight place for the following season. |
| 2023/24 | The club returned to competition and finished 11th with 44 points. Marius Şumudică returned for a second spell in September, replacing Erdal Güneş. Denis Drăguș, on loan from Standard Liège, led the scoring with 14 league goals. Signings included Albian Ajeti from Celtic and Max Gradel. The average home league crowd was 8,207. |

Maxim remains the most experienced figure in the squad and its long-standing creative force, having first arrived on loan from Mainz for the club's debut Süper Lig season in 2019. Polish midfielder Kacper Kozłowski and Curaçao internationals Juninho Bacuna and Sontje Hansen add creativity, while Turkish forwards Serdar Dursun and Halil Dervişoğlu add top-flight experience in attack. Young goalkeeper Ataberk Dadakdeniz and defender Arda Kızıldağ give the side a Turkish core that the president has said he wants to build on. Several current players arrived in the 2024/25 rebuild, including Deian Sorescu from Raków Częstochowa, midfielder Ogün Özçiçek from Yeni Malatyaspor and Dervişoğlu, who first joined on loan from Galatasaray before becoming a regular in attack.
