you're forgetting the the New Inonu,

If we host the tournament forget Sivas and Trabzon, even in 10 years they wont be developed enough

we should go ahead with Greece again, we use Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, and Antalya,

they use Athens, Salonika and some other city

 

The new Inonu stadium will be beautiful, it's just the size of the stadium which will prevent it's chances of hosting the matches. I think the capacity will be 38,000?

Besides don't forget the 'two stadiums per city' rule.

 

i think its meant to be 42000, which is enough most of the stadiums in Austria/Switzerland are smaller actually, If it were up to me
Id use the new Inonu and Sukru with a face lift or Galatasarays new one,

I wans't impressed at all when I went to Ataturk Olympiat,

 

You'll need 4 cities and 1 or 2 back up cities for it to work. Istanbul and Antalya are a given, you guys have some beautiful coasts hopefully you guys can make it happen. Good luck

 

Uefa says that to host the tournament, you need 8 cities with a 4 star rating stadiums each or higher and the tourists can all be given looked after properly when visiting the matches.

Sivas and Trabzon all have poor accommodation apparently. If we were to bid with this two cities then this might put our bid in jeopardy.

 

Won't happen for another twenty years at least

 

Man...imagine a EURO game in Kayseri? :howler:

All the drunk men and slutty women...I don't the locals would be too pleased!

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7934503.stm

Our bid has been submitted to host the Euro 2016. Along with Italy, France and a joint bid with Norway and Sweden. All proposals are to be evaluated by Uefa and finalized and the outcome will be revealed in one years time.

 

would be great if Turkiye got it. I would so be there for it

 

We can't expect any more stadiums to be built by then. Chances are all of us here at Xtratime could meet up and build a stadium more efficiently then the contract work that occurs in Turkiye :howler:.

 

Pah, articles such as this could ruin our chances of hosting the Euros, despite however true it may be. We need to completely get rid of racism in Turkish football before it becomes a huge issue, since there were high profile racism going on this season.

http://www.turquieeuropeenne.eu/article3174.html

 

Oh give me a break. We've had players in the Italian league doing the hail hitler sign. We've had portions of Lazio stadiums filled with neo nazi banners. There was a special about African players such and Henry and they treatment and taunting they get in the Spanish league, it's disgusting really.

England has done alright due the diversity of their league and national team. Turkiye def. has racism in its stands. Not that this justifies racism but its a more indirect form of it. Like on Antu the retards that say "we need 4 black players on the team." That is ridiculous really, almost any major league that comes to mind has a much larger problem in terms of racism.

 

If football racism is the issue to prevent Turkey from hosting the tournament, then you can rule out Italy and France and give the tournament to the blondes

 

The difference between racism in Turkey and in other European countries, especially with regards to blacks, is that in Turkey it is "innocent" and unintentional for the most part

 

I agree. It's more a lack of education rather then blatant racism.

 

Turkish people aren't educated enough to be racists.

 

didn't he just say that?

 

Euro 2016 Hazırlık Toplantısı Başladı

2016 Avrupa Futbol Şampiyonası'nı düzenlemek isteyen Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu, İstanbul'da gerçekleşen toplantıyla turnuva maçlarına ev sahipliği yapmaya aday 10 şehir olan İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Adana, Bursa, Antalya, Konya, Kayseri, Eskişehir, Trabzon'un vali, belediye başkanı ve yerel yöneticileri ile bir araya geldi.

Toplantıya, Spordan Sorumlu Devlet Bakanı Faruk Nafız Özak, TFF Başkanı Mahmut Özgener, GSGM Genel Müdürü Yunus Akgül ile Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu ve bakanlık yöneticileri de katıldı

 

Our only chance to have a stadium built :happy: I am hopeful. I hope Eskisehir gets chosen, beautiful city, good transportation system. Plenty of places to go and see.

 

Good choice of cities by the way... :thumbsup:

They have just created two stadium proposals for Izmir. A 25,000 seater stadium for Karsiyaka which won't be used for Euro 2016. The second proposal is a 45,000 seater stadium which is aimed at the tournament but will be built on the outskirts of the city near the airport. So basically they're thinking of building a stadium just for the one tournament and then will be full of cobwebs and dust by 2020. Just like what the Olympiat stadium is right now in Istanbul.

Izmir´s Atatürk Stadium for 60000 is just fine imo for these few games. Okay it has a running track and doesn´t have roof but you may need all but a roof in summer Turkey.

 

By the way there is a brand new stadium under construction in Antalya already. They have got the proposals for Bursa, Izmir and Trabzon ready. They only have a few months left to sort all the other proposals out for the other remaining cities....

Graves you might get to see the project for a new stadium in Eskisehir this year btw.

 

YES YES YES!!!! We're gonna get a brand new fukkin stadium!!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

I knew it all along but I was just waiting for something official, we are one of the cities picked for the Euro 2016 bid. I hope we get this Euro, we deserve it!!

Eskisehir is such a beautiful place so im sure it was always going to make it to the short list. I reckon Eskisehir could become a touristic hotspot for foreigners after 2016 too...

Although it sucks that I have to wait until the 15th of February to find out more information about our projects.

And another point is that we have to cater to 24 teams in eight cities. Would have been nicer if there was another city but I guess the TFF are on a tight budget.

I still don't think we are favourites to win the competition though. * I meant winning the hosting competition, not lifting the cup lol.

 

But it is a real shame that Trabzon will not be getting a new stadium, they're gonna have to stick with Avni Aker stadium for more than another decade probably whilst many other Anatolian teams will be ahead of them in terms of infrastructure and so on...

I wish they would have added an extra city from the east of Turkey.

 

I think we are one of the favorites, if not THE favorite.Because Italy and France each hosted this competition before on 2 "okazyon's" each. Norway and Sweden pulled out good too because it was probably going to be between us and them. If we get it stadiums will get built if not, it's a no go. The TFF will put aside 400 million Euro for the stadium projects and all will be 30,000 seat +. Sad that Trabzon wasn't included. Most of the cities are in Anadolu. Sukru Saracoglu was not picked either if I remember seeing correctly.

This is pretty exciting for Turkiye, let's get it here! :hopeful:

Aday Sehirler:
Ankara - Antalya - Bursa - Eskisehir - Istanbul - Izmir - Kayseri - Konya

Oh yeah and the thread title can probably be changed now to "Bid for Euro 2016"

 

Changed the thread title. Gravesends, you don't mind if I make your picture smaller so I can try and get this thread back to it's normal state?

I also found this piece of news:

And just cropped this bit from the interesting article regarding a new stadium proposal in Turkey:

The new stadium has the capacity of 40.500 spectators and all the grandstands will be covered. Each seat will at least have Cvalue 90. Each 1.000 spectators will have the buffet space of 7 metres, each 50 female spectators will have one restroom. The lunchroom will have the capacity of 200 men and 300 disabled people.

The stadium will have a media area with the capacity of 475 people and a size of 2.600 m2 s. The technical attributes of the Örnekköy Stadium will astonish everyone as well. This temple of football will have the gross capacity of 44.000 spectators and the net capacity of 40.500 spectators. It will include 50 lodges, a parking lot in the stadium with the capacity of 500 cars, 3 different restaurants, licensed merchandise shop, football museum, club management offices and conference halls.

 

At least we will have 'qualified'.
