This may not be every club in Ankara — we are still adding them.

Ankara

Updated .

the local sports scene

Ankara is Turkey's capital and a football city split between three big clubs and a volleyball tradition that fills arenas in winter.

The local sports scene

The scene

Gençlerbirliği, Ankaragücü and Türk Telekom share the city with the national institutions — matches at Eryaman and Başkent feel like civic events. Hurriyet and Sabah both run national sports desks that still name Ankara clubs daily.

Rivalries that matter

Ankaragücü against Gençlerbirliği is the capital derby; Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray visits are the fixtures that sell out first.

Where to watch

Kızılay and Çankaya on Super Lig nights; Tunalı for late volleyball.
