Buy Kayserispor tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are backing a club that wants its place in the Süper Lig back. Kayserispor play their home games at RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu, the 32,864-seat ground in Kayseri better known as the Kadir Has Stadium, and after relegation in May 2026 the 2026/27 campaign is played in the Trendyol 1. Lig, Turkey's second tier. With the 2008 Turkish Cup, a share of the 2006 Intertoto Cup and two decades of Süper Lig football behind them, the Yellow-Reds are one of the biggest names in the division.

This guide covers what you will pay, where to sit, how Turkish ticketing rules work for buyers from abroad, what happens at the gates and how a club that traces its identity to 1966 became the pride of Central Anatolia. It is written to stay useful for the whole season, from the first round in August to the final weeks of the promotion race in May.
Kayserispor sell home tickets through Passo, the national e-ticketing platform. Turkish football in the top two tiers uses personalised electronic tickets, so every seat is linked to a named fan card rather than printed as a transferable paper ticket. For most 1. Lig fixtures there is plenty of availability, and prices on the club sale are low.
The pressure comes on the big occasions. Meetings with Sivasspor, the club's oldest rival, and with other former Süper Lig sides in the division can draw large crowds, and the final weeks of a promotion race can fill even a ground of this size. Visitors from abroad face an extra step, because a Passo card has to be in place before you can buy.
A secondary marketplace can help you compare options, but it operates within Turkish rules. Law 6222 makes selling football tickets outside authorised channels, or above the set price, a criminal offence for sellers in Turkey, and the 1. Lig regulations prohibit e-card tickets being sold above or below face value. Any listing for a Kayserispor home game should be read with that in mind, and buyers should check the name and card details that will be attached to the ticket.
1BoxOffice has sold football tickets since 2006 and works with a network of verified sellers across Europe and the Gulf. Every listing sets out the stand or category, the number of seats available together and how and when the tickets will be delivered.
The marketplace is built for fans who cannot rely on a club release window. If something goes wrong, the guarantee is defined in the terms and conditions.
Kayserispor are the leading club of one of Central Anatolia's largest cities, and the move to the Kadir Has Stadium in 2009 gave them one of the larger club grounds in Turkey. Relegation has not changed the size of the stage, and the 2026/27 season gives supporters a chance to see a promotion push in a stadium built for the top flight.
Several factors push demand higher at particular points of the season. Knowing which apply to your match helps you judge how early to buy.
The practical lesson is simple. For the Sivasspor games and late-season promotion fixtures, buy as soon as your plans are fixed. For other league games there is usually plenty of room to wait.
The calendar shapes demand too. The 2026/27 TFF 1. Lig has 20 clubs playing each other home and away over 38 rounds between early August and early May, with a winter break from late December to early January. The top two win promotion directly, the third-placed side goes straight to the play-off final, and the clubs in fourth to seventh play one-off ties and a two-legged semi-final to join them, with the final at a neutral venue. The bottom four are relegated, so the battle at the foot of the table also adds weight to late-season games.
Ticket prices at Kayserispor are very low by European standards. For a 1. Lig home game against Manisa FK in October 2026, the club charged 200 TL for the Güney Alt and Kuzey Alt stands behind the goals, 300 TL in the Doğu Üst, 400 TL in the Doğu Alt, 500 TL in the Batı Alt and 750 TL in the Batı Balkon, with away tickets at 260 TL. At current exchange rates that is roughly £3 to £11.
Prices rise for the big games. In the 2025/26 Süper Lig season, the visit of Fenerbahçe was priced between around 3,000 and 6,000 TL in the home stands, many times the price of a standard game, and second-tier meetings with Sivasspor or a promotion rival can also be priced higher than usual. The west side of the ground carries the highest prices, with the Batı Balkon at the top of the range.
The trend is worth knowing. In February 2026, still in the Süper Lig, a home game against Kocaelispor was priced between 138 TL and 638 TL, with away tickets at 178 TL, so 1. Lig prices for 2026/27 are broadly similar to standard top-flight games from the previous season. Only the very biggest fixtures move prices into the thousands of lira.
Turkish rules apply to any resale. Under Law 6222 it is a criminal offence for a seller in Turkey to sell football tickets outside authorised channels or above the set price, and the 1. Lig regulations prohibit e-card tickets being sold, obtained or distributed above or below face value. The table below shows the club's published prices for a standard 2026/27 league game, with approximate sterling conversions.
| Stand | Club Price (TL, 2026/27 league game) | Approx. GBP |
|---|---|---|
| Güney Alt and Kuzey Alt (behind the goals) | 200 | £3 |
| Doğu Üst (east upper) | 300 | £4.50 |
| Doğu Alt (east lower) | 400 | £6 |
| Batı Alt (west lower, main stand) | 500 | £7.50 |
| Batı Balkon (west balcony) | 750 | £11.40 |
| Misafir Tribünü (away section) | 260 | £4 |
Club prices are set match by match and may change, particularly for high-demand fixtures. Converted figures move with the lira exchange rate.
Yes, but you need a fan card. Kayserispor do not require a paid membership for single-match tickets, but Turkish law requires every spectator at a top-two-tier match to hold an electronic ticket linked to a personal card. Turkish citizens can use a Passo card or a chip-enabled national ID card, while foreign visitors can apply for a prepaid card online, with their nationality and passport number recorded on it.
The card system has changed in recent seasons. From 2025/26 the long-running Passolig scheme began giving way to Passo Taraftar, with existing Passolig cards valid until their e-ticket period runs out. There is no charge for the card itself, but clubs set an annual e-ticket fee, and foreign nationals need to choose the card linked to the club they want to support. For a visitor attending one or two matches, the card is a small one-off step rather than a membership. Apply well before the trip, because the card needs to be active before a ticket can be issued to it, and keep the confirmation details to hand on matchday.
Once you have a card, buying is straightforward for most 1. Lig games. Tickets are sold on Passo, prices are low and availability is usually good. The 1. Lig regulations state that entry to every stand is by e-card only, and the away section is set at 5% of capacity, sold to supporters of the visiting club.
The legal background is worth understanding. The offence of black-market ticket selling was added to Law 6222 in 2019. Selling football tickets outside the places and staff authorised by the federation or clubs can lead to six months to a year in prison and a judicial fine, and selling above face value can lead to one to three years and a larger fine. Buyers are not criminally liable under that provision, but the 1. Lig regulations prohibit e-card tickets being sold, obtained or distributed above or below face value.
For the Sivasspor games and promotion deciders, supply can be tighter, and the rules on transferring tickets are strict. That is why buyers compare Kayserispor tickets across more than one channel, and why any listing should be checked for the card and name details that will be attached to the ticket before you commit.
In Turkey a season ticket is a kombine, and Kayserispor sell them before each season for the club's home league games. For the 2024/25 Süper Lig season, kombine prices ranged from 2,250 TL to 9,500 TL depending on the stand. Prices for each new season are announced by the club in the summer, so check the latest figures before renewing or buying.
The table below summarises the main ways to watch Kayserispor at home and who each suits.
| Option | How It Works | Who It Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Kombine (season ticket) | All home league games, sold before the season and linked to your fan card | Kayseri-based regulars |
| Single-match ticket | Bought on Passo with a fan card, priced by stand | Occasional visitors and most overseas fans |
| Prepaid fan card | Applied for online by foreign nationals, with passport details recorded | Visitors who want to buy direct |
| Away ticket | Sold to visiting supporters for the away section, 5% of capacity | Fans of the visiting club |
| Secondary marketplace | Listings from verified sellers, subject to Turkish ticketing rules | Fans who cannot buy at release |
Kombine terms and prices are set by the club each year and may change between seasons.
The Kadir Has Stadium is a modern, all-seater ground with tiered stands on every side. Seats are sold by stand: the Güney Alt and Kuzey Alt behind the goals, the Doğu Alt and Doğu Üst on the east side, the Batı Alt and Batı Balkon on the west side and the Misafir Tribünü for visiting supporters. The Kuzey Alt is where much of the most vocal home support is found, and the Kapalı Kale group, formed in 2008 as an independent supporters' organisation, is a prominent presence on matchdays.
The guide below shows how each stand tends to suit different kinds of fan.
| Stand | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batı Balkon (west balcony) | A raised, central view of the pitch | Premium | The highest-priced standard stand |
| Batı Alt (west lower) | A sideline view close to the pitch | Mid to premium | A lower-tier seat on the west side |
| Doğu Alt (east lower) | A sideline view opposite the west stand | Mid-range | Good value for a full view of the pitch |
| Doğu Üst (east upper) | A panoramic view at a lower price | Lower to mid | Upper tier with a view of the whole ground |
| Kuzey Alt and Güney Alt (behind the goals) | Atmosphere and the lowest prices | Lower-priced | The Kuzey Alt is home to much of the vocal support |
| Misafir Tribünü (away section) | Visiting supporters only | Set by allocation | 5% of capacity under 1. Lig rules |
With almost 33,000 seats and second-tier crowds, most stands have room to spare for a standard game, so the choice comes down to the experience you want. The Batı Balkon gives a raised, central view, the Doğu stands are good value for a sideline seat and the Kuzey Alt is the place for atmosphere. For a promotion decider or a Sivasspor game, book earlier and expect the home ends to fill first.
Away travel in the 1. Lig covers the whole of Turkey. The 2026/27 division includes clubs from Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Antalya and the Aegean coast as well as the east, with trips to Van, Iğdır, Mardin and Batman among the longest of the season. The away allocation at each ground is set at 5% of capacity under the league's regulations, and tickets are linked to fan cards in the same way as at home.
The 2026/27 division takes Kayserispor across the country. Six clubs are based in Istanbul (Esenler Erokspor, Fatih Karagümrük, İstanbulspor, Pendikspor, Sarıyer and Ümraniyespor), Keçiörengücü play in Ankara, and the west brings trips to Bursaspor, Bandırmaspor, Manisa, Bodrum, Muğlaspor and Antalyaspor. Boluspor are in the north-west, Sivasspor are among the closest away days, and the eastern trips to Vanspor, Iğdır, Mardin 1969 and Batman Petrolspor are the longest of the season. The campaign opened with a trip to Van in the first round.
At the Kadir Has Stadium, 5% of capacity amounts to around 1,600 seats for visiting supporters. Provincial security boards can also restrict or close away sections for high-risk matches, so the availability of away tickets for some fixtures is only confirmed close to the game.
| Topic | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Away allocation | 5% of the home ground's capacity, sold through Passo to fans with a card |
| Identification | Tickets are linked to a named fan card; carry matching ID |
| Sivasspor away | A trip of around 200 kilometres to Sivas, though high-risk measures can apply |
| Istanbul away days | Several clubs in the division are based in Istanbul, a flight or long road trip from Kayseri |
| Eastern trips | Van, Iğdır, Mardin and Batman are among the longest journeys of the season |
Kayseri's Erkilet Airport has regular domestic flights, which makes the longer away trips manageable for supporters who can plan ahead.
The right stand depends on what you want from the day. A group chasing the noise and a family on a first visit will want different parts of the ground. With second-tier crowds in a stadium of almost 33,000, there is usually room to choose for most games, so the table focuses on the experience each stand offers.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Kuzey Alt | Where much of the most vocal home support is found |
| Best view | Batı Balkon | A raised, central position on the west side |
| Family-friendly | Doğu Alt or Doğu Üst | Seated, calmer and good value for a sideline view |
| Premium experience | Batı Balkon and premium areas on the west side | The highest-priced seats with a raised, central view |
| Lower-priced option | Güney Alt | The lowest-priced home stand, behind the goal |
The Kadir Has Stadium opened on 8 March 2009 with a Süper Lig match against Fenerbahçe, replacing the old Kayseri Atatürk Stadium, which had opened in 1960 and held almost 26,000 before it was demolished in January 2009. The new ground is part of the Atatürk Sports Complex in the west of Kayseri, about five and a half kilometres from the city centre, and its capacity of 32,864 made it one of the larger club stadiums in Turkey when it opened.
Since October 2022 it has carried the sponsor name RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu under a three-year naming deal, though most supporters still call it the Kadir Has Stadium, after the businessman and philanthropist from Kayseri. You will see both names on tickets and in local reports.
The stadium has hosted international football as well as Kayserispor. Turkey played a World Cup qualifier against Estonia there in September 2009, it staged the opening match and ceremony of the 2013 Under-20 World Cup, and Turkey returned in November 2024 for a Nations League game against Wales. The record attendance for a Kayserispor match is 32,013, set against Beşiktaş in December 2017.
Getting there is straightforward. The Kayseray tram network, which links the city centre with the outskirts, has a stop named Stadyum on the T1 line, and the ground is also close to the city's main bus terminal. Taxis are widely available for the journey from the centre.
Kayseri itself is a large city at the foot of Mount Erciyes, the volcano that appears on the club's crest. It is known for its food, including pastırma and mantı, for the ski slopes of Mount Erciyes in winter and for its role as a gateway to Cappadocia, which lies around an hour's drive away. For visitors, a match can be combined easily with a stay in the region, and Erkilet Airport has flights from Istanbul and other Turkish cities.
The matchday atmosphere is at its strongest in the Kuzey Alt, where the home end's flags and chants set the tone. In April 2026 the league's disciplinary board punished the club for chanting in blocks C and D of the Kuzey Alt after a game against Fenerbahçe, a reminder that Turkish stadium rules on conduct are strictly enforced.
Premium seating at the Kadir Has Stadium is concentrated on the west side, where the Batı Balkon offers the highest-priced standard seats in the ground. Hospitality options vary by match, and availability for second-tier games can be better than it was in the Süper Lig.
For high-demand fixtures, such as a Sivasspor game or a promotion decider, premium seats can be committed earlier. Because every ticket in Turkey is linked to a named fan card, group and premium bookings need each guest's details in advance, so allow time to collect passport or card information before you buy. Listings on 1BoxOffice set out exactly what is included before you pay.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Batı Balkon seat | Raised central seat on the west side | 750 TL club price for a standard league game (about £11) |
| VIP seat | Premium seating with refreshments where available | Priced per match by the club |
| Group booking | Seats together for a group, each linked to a fan card | Priced per group and match |
| Big-match premium | Premium seating for Sivasspor games and promotion deciders | Higher than standard games; set per match |
Club prices may change between matches and seasons, and every ticket, including premium seats, must be linked to a fan card.

Most Kayserispor home games in the 1. Lig have plenty of availability. With 38 rounds and a winter break from late December to early January, the spring run-in is where demand builds. These are the exceptions, where it pays to book early.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Sivasspor | The oldest and most charged rivalry in the club's history, back on the calendar with both clubs in the 1. Lig. |
| Antalyaspor, Bursaspor and Fatih Karagümrük | Former Süper Lig clubs with large followings, and Antalyaspor and Karagümrük were relegated alongside Kayserispor in 2026. |
| Promotion rivals | Spring meetings with the clubs fighting for the top two places can decide automatic promotion. |
| Play-off ties | One-off and two-legged play-off games carry the highest stakes of the season. |
| Final-day fixtures | The last home game of the season, with promotion or a play-off place at stake, can draw some of the biggest crowds of the season. |
Because the stadium is large, even these games rarely sell out completely, but the prime seats in the Batı Balkon and the home ends go first. Away sections for high-risk games can also be restricted by local security boards.
Delivery depends on the competition and how the seller holds the seats. The method for your order is always shown on the listing before you pay.
Because Turkish tickets are linked to a named card, check your confirmation carefully and contact customer support straight away if any detail does not match.
Turkish stadiums apply strict entry rules, and a little preparation saves time at the turnstiles.
For standard league games, arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is usually enough. For the Sivasspor games and promotion deciders, allow at least an hour, as security checks take longer and the tram can be busy. The home ends are in voice before the teams come out. If you are travelling by tram, leave extra time on big-match days, as services around the Stadyum stop can be crowded before kick-off and again after the final whistle.
Entry to every stand is by e-card only under the 1. Lig regulations. Carry the card or chip-enabled ID linked to your ticket, along with your passport if you are a foreign visitor, and make sure the details match.
Travel light, as large bags may be refused and there is no guarantee of storage at the stadium. Pyrotechnics are banned under Turkish law, and glass and dangerous items are prohibited. Stewards can search bags at the gates.
| Detail | Information |

| Full name | Kayserispor Kulübü |
| Identity dates from | 1 July 1966, Kayseri |
| Nickname | Anadolu Yıldızı (Star of Anatolia) |
| Colours | Yellow and red |
| Stadium | RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu (Kadir Has Stadium), capacity 32,864 |
| League | Trendyol 1. Lig (2026/27) |
| Major honours | Turkish Cup 2007/08; UEFA Intertoto Cup 2006 |
| Supporters' group | Kapalı Kale, founded 2008 |
Kayserispor's history is tied to the growth of Kayseri, one of Central Anatolia's great trading cities. The club traces its identity to 1966, won promotion to the top flight in the early 1970s, and in the 2000s became one of the most successful clubs outside Istanbul, with a Turkish Cup, an Intertoto title and European football. Relegation in 2026 has made the next chapter a promotion story.
The club was created in 1966 by merging three local sides, taking the yellow and red colours that, according to club tradition, were chosen from the tones of the lava of Mount Erciyes. Its early years were overshadowed by tragedy. On 17 September 1967, during a match against Sivasspor in Kayseri, a crush and violence in the stands killed around 40 people and injured hundreds, the worst stadium disaster in Turkish football history. The two clubs were barred from playing each other for five years afterwards, and the events of that day still shape the rivalry. The club also carries other nicknames in Turkish sources, including Erciyes'in Kurtları, the Wolves of Erciyes, and Anadolu Kaplanı, the Anatolian Tiger. On the pitch, the second-tier titles of 1972/73 and 1984/85 brought spells in the top division. For more than four decades the club played at the Kayseri Atatürk Stadium, which opened in 1960 and held almost 26,000, and it was there that the European nights of 2006 to 2008 were played before the move to the new ground.
The modern club's path to the Süper Lig came through an unusual arrangement. In 2004, Kayseri Erciyesspor had won promotion to the top flight, and the city's two clubs swapped identities, with the promoted side becoming Kayserispor and the original Kayserispor continuing as Kayseri Erciyesspor. Turkish sources therefore describe the present club's legal roots differently, but supporters treat Kayserispor's identity as running continuously from 1966, with the yellow and red, the Erciyes crest and the name all carried forward.
The decade after 2004 was the most successful in the club's history. Under Ertuğrul Sağlam, Kayserispor finished fifth in 2005/06 with Gökhan Ünal scoring 25 league goals, then earned a place in the 2006 Intertoto Cup, beating Sopron and AEL Larissa to become one of the eleven co-winners and qualify for the UEFA Cup. There they knocked out KF Tirana before narrowly losing to AZ Alkmaar. Two more fifth-place finishes followed, and on 7 May 2008, under Tolunay Kafkas, the club won its first major trophy: a goalless Turkish Cup final against Gençlerbirliği in Bursa, decided 11-10 in a marathon penalty shoot-out. The cup brought a UEFA Cup tie with Paris Saint-Germain, lost 2-1 on aggregate, and in 2009 the club moved into its new stadium, where Ariza Makukula's 21 goals made him the league's top scorer in 2009/10.
A fifth-place finish in 2012/13 was followed by relegation a year later, when the club finished bottom of the Süper Lig with 29 points, but the club bounced straight back as 1. Lig champions in 2014/15 and spent the next 11 seasons in the Süper Lig, surviving in 2019/20 when relegation was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Ertuğrul Sağlam returned for a second spell as coach in 2018. The 2021/22 Turkish Cup final brought the clubs' great rivalry onto the national stage: Kayserispor met Sivasspor at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul and lost 3-2 after extra time. The 2025/26 season ended in relegation. Kayserispor won six, drew 12 and lost 16 of their 34 games, and the drop was confirmed in week 33 after a 3-1 defeat at Alanyaspor. A 2-1 home win over Konyaspor on the final day, 17 May 2026, could not change the outcome, and the club finished 17th on 30 points, level with Fatih Karagümrük. Its appeal against the final standings was rejected. The 2026/27 season is the club's first in the second tier since 2014/15.
| Name | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gökhan Ünal | Striker | The goalscorer of the club's first great Süper Lig side, whose goals drove the 2006 Intertoto run and the European campaign that followed. | Süper Lig top scorer 2005/06 with 25; 60 league goals in 112 games |
| Mehmet Topuz | Midfielder | A fixture of the team for almost a decade, from the climb to the Süper Lig through the 2008 cup win, before moving to Fenerbahçe. | 234 league appearances and 46 goals (2000 to 2009) |
| Ertuğrul Sağlam | Head coach | Built the side that finished fifth in 2005/06 and won the 2006 Intertoto Cup, and later returned for a second spell in 2018. | 2006 Intertoto Cup winner |
| Tolunay Kafkas | Head coach | Led the club to its first major trophy, the 2008 Turkish Cup. | 2007/08 Turkish Cup winner |
| Franco Cángele | Forward | The Argentine forward was part of the team across six seasons, including the cup-winning campaign and the move to the new stadium. | 82 appearances and 18 goals (2007 to 2013) |
| Ariza Makukula | Striker | On loan from Benfica, he gave the club a second Süper Lig top scorer in five seasons. | 21 league goals in 30 games, top scorer 2009/10 |
| Miguel Cardoso | Winger | The Portuguese winger became a regular in the 2020s and set a club record for a foreign player, with 27 goals and 29 assists along the way. | 165 appearances, the most by a foreign player for the club |
The coaching names matter as much as the players. Sağlam's first spell, from 2005 to 2007, produced two fifth-place finishes and the Intertoto title, and Kafkas delivered the club's only major domestic trophy a year later, a third straight fifth-place finish coming in the same season.
Other names belong in the story too. Hasan Ali Kaldırım, later a Turkey international with Fenerbahçe, is listed among the club's notable players, and the 2014/15 1. Lig title side led by coach Cüneyt Dumlupınar brought the club straight back to the top flight after relegation. The club's all-time appearance and scoring records are not published consistently across sources, so they are not listed here.
Kayserispor's honours are concentrated in the 2000s, with the 2008 Turkish Cup the highlight. Second-tier titles record the club's returns to the top flight.
| Competition | Titles | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Turkish Cup | 1 | 2007/08 |
| UEFA Intertoto Cup | 1 | 2006 (one of 11 co-winners) |
| Second tier (now TFF 1. Lig) | 3 | 1972/73, 1984/85, 2014/15 |
| Turkish Cup runners-up | 1 | 2021/22 |
| Turkish Super Cup runners-up | 1 | 2008 |
The club's best Süper Lig finish is fifth, achieved in 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2012/13.
The two cup finals show both sides of the club's story. The 2008 final in Bursa ended goalless after extra time before Kayserispor won the shoot-out 11-10, while the 2022 final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul was level at 1-1 after 90 minutes before Sivasspor scored twice in extra time to win 3-2. The Super Cup appearance in 2008, a defeat to Fenerbahçe, was the reward for the first of those finals.
Kayserispor's rivalries are rooted in Central Anatolia. One stands far above the rest, and its history is unlike any other fixture in Turkish football.
The rivalry with Sivasspor, from the neighbouring province around 200 kilometres to the north-east, is defined by the events of 17 September 1967, when around 40 people died at a match between the two clubs in Kayseri. The fixture was suspended for five years, and the memory of that day still hangs over every meeting. The 2022 Turkish Cup final, won 3-2 by Sivasspor after extra time in Istanbul, renewed the rivalry on the national stage, and with both clubs in the 1. Lig in 2026/27 it returns to the league calendar. Security measures for these games are tight.
The city derby with Kayseri Erciyesspor once divided Kayseri, especially after the 2004 identity swap between the two clubs. Erciyesspor were relegated from the fourth tier in 2017/18 and later withdrew, so the derby is dormant, but older supporters still remember the years when both clubs played in the Süper Lig.
The 2026/27 1. Lig includes several clubs Kayserispor faced in the Süper Lig, among them Antalyaspor and Fatih Karagümrük, who were relegated alongside them in 2026, and Bursaspor, a former Süper Lig champion. These meetings carry extra weight as each tries to win promotion back. Kayserispor and Karagümrük finished level on 30 points in 2025/26, separated only by head-to-head, while Antalyaspor went down in 16th, so the three relegated clubs know each other well. Bursaspor, champions of Turkey in 2009/10, bring a large following and top-flight pedigree of their own.
The 2008/09 UEFA Cup first round brought Paris Saint-Germain to Kayseri, the reward for the 2008 Turkish Cup. PSG won 2-1 in Turkey and a goalless draw in Paris ended the tie, but the meeting remains one of the most prestigious in the club's history.
The full European record runs to ten matches. In the 2006 Intertoto Cup, Kayserispor drew 3-3 away to Sopron and won 1-0 at home, then drew 0-0 at AEL Larissa and won 2-0 in Kayseri. In the UEFA Cup they won 2-0 in Tirana and 3-1 at home, before the AZ tie, and in 2008/09 they lost 2-1 at home to PSG and drew 0-0 in Paris. Gökhan Ünal scored six goals in the 2006 Intertoto campaign alone.
In the 2006/07 UEFA Cup first round, Kayserispor lost 3-2 away to AZ and drew 1-1 at home to go out 4-3 on aggregate. It was the closest the club has come to the group stage of a European competition, at the end of a run that began in the Intertoto Cup and passed KF Tirana.
These are the campaigns that define Kayserispor's modern story, from the first great Süper Lig side to the return to the second tier. Each one shaped the expectations supporters bring to the Kadir Has Stadium today.

The 2008 cup final shoot-out, won 11-10 after a goalless 120 minutes against Gençlerbirliği, remains the result that defines the club's best era.
The club's identity carries its own records too. The crest shows Mount Erciyes above a shield bearing the letters K and S, with 1966 at its base, and the yellow and red have been constant through every name change and division. The Kadir Has Stadium, opened in 2009, has hosted Süper Lig, 1. Lig, senior international and youth World Cup football.
Yes. Entry to every stand at 1. Lig matches is by electronic fan card only, so each ticket must be linked to a Passo card or a chip-enabled Turkish ID card. Foreign visitors can apply for a prepaid card online, with their passport details recorded.
The stadium is in the west of Kayseri, about five and a half kilometres from the centre. The Kayseray T1 tram has a stop named Stadyum, the ground is close to the main bus terminal and taxis are easy to find.
For a standard 2026/27 league game the club charged between 200 TL behind the goals and 750 TL in the Batı Balkon, roughly £3 to £11. Prices are set match by match and rise for high-demand fixtures.
Turkish law makes selling football tickets outside authorised channels or above the set price an offence for sellers, and 1. Lig rules prohibit e-card tickets being sold above or below face value. Check the conditions on any listing carefully before you buy.
