Sitting ninth and 19 points behind Trabzonspor, Galatasaray made a number of desperate transfer

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to attend the inauguration ceremony of the stadium.
Ceremonies at the stadium will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
According to Galatasaray President Adnan Polat,the stadium is the only stadium in Turkey to fully satisfy UEFA criteria for hosting the European Football Championship in 2016.
Because of the very limited parking spaces (about 4500 hundred) The club urges fans to use the newly-opened metro line to Seyrantepe in order to avoid causing heavy traffic jams.
One negative thing about this project the roads around the stadium is not completed yet!

TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE TEAMS WILL GET READY FOR SECOND HALF IN ANTALYA
All 18 teams in topflight Turkish football have chosen Antalya and its environs to prepare for both the cup and the second half of the league season. Defending champion Bursaspor is at the Topkapı Villa Otel in Kundu; leader Trabzonspor at Gloria Golf in Belek; Fenerbahçe at Arcadia in Belek; Beşiktaş at Gloria Serenity in Belek; Galatasaray at Rixos Lares in Kundu; while Antalyaspor is training at its own facilities.
The 18 clubs in the Spor Toto Super League are currently storming both the domestic and international transfer market for players to boost the standard of play of their respective teams before the one-month January transfer window closes. Hence there is bound to be plenty of selling and buying, sooner rather than later, as the teams will be busy offloading the redundant players and replacing them with new ones. The second half of the league season will resume on Friday, Jan. 21, with Besiktas hosting newcomer Bucaspor at the İnönü Stadium in İstanbul. But before that there will be the Ziraat Turkish Cup matches between Jan. 11 and Jan. 17 to play for.
