Galatasaray – Stadium Tour – Turk Telekom Stadium

Galatasaray Stadium Tour

Galatasaray are arguably the most successful Turkish football team.  They play their home games at the Turk Telekom Stadium in north western Istanbul.  Reasons to take a Galatasaray stadium tour are;

• You’re a Galatasaray fan
• Learn about the rich history of Galatasaray
• See a huge collection of trophies including a UEFA Cup and European Super Cup
• Pose in the Galatasaray media room, dressing room, subs bench and VIP area
• Admire one of the most modern stadiums in the world

Galatasaray stadium tours are available from Tuesday to Sunday, several times throughout the day.  To book yourself on a tour, visit the Galatasaray club shop opposite the Turk Telekom stadium.

The Turk Telekom stadium is located on the European side of Istanbul.  It’s easily accessible by the green M2 metro line.  First of all you take it to Sanaya Mah, then change to Seyrantepe.  Inside Seyrantepe station you must follow the exit signs for stadium, these will bring you out at Galatasaray stadium.  In front of the stadium is the Galatasaray club shop, it’s in the club shop that you can buy your Galatasaray stadium tour ticket.  In addition to the stadium tour, a Galatasaray museum tour is included in the ticket price.  When I visited the ticket price was around €4.  This is excellent value in comparison to some of the other stadium tours such as Benfica stadium and  Saint James park stadium which cost nearly 4 times as much!

Galatasaray Club Shop

Whilst you’re in the club shop it’s worth having a browse around.  You can check the players names on the back of the shirts.  Often famous footballers end their careers at Galatasaray.  You may see famous names such as Didier Drogba as well as Wesley Sneijder.  Be sure to visit the upstairs area of the club shop, this is the outlet section and you can find some good deals.

Arrive in Style

To get from the club shop to the Galatasaray museum there is a minibus service.  This ensures you arrive at the stadium the same way in which the players arrive in the team bus.  In the same fashion the minibus has quite a plush interior, something even the Galatasaray players would be comfortable with!

Galatasaray Museum

You will learn a lot about Galatasaray in the museum.  It’s interesting to learn how the team nearly ceased to exist at the start of the 20th century due to the players being sent to war.  Fortunately the Galatasaray recovered and became the most successful football team in Turkey.  As well as studying the timeline, you can look at the huge amount of trophies.  The most impressive being the UEFA cup as well as European Super cup.  You’ll also see seats from the old stadium which have been kept as a memory, something they’ve also done at Anfield in Liverpool.  In addition there is the famous Galatasaray flag which former manager Graeme Souness stuck in the center circle of rival Istanbul team Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray FC Stadium

The best part of the Galatasaray stadium tour is to see the stadium itself.  Turk Telekom stadium has a capacity of over 52,ooo spectators.  The capacity rises to around 70,000 for concerts.  Famous acts to have played at the stadium are Madonna as well as Bon Jovi.  In addition to being the home stadium of Galatasaray, the Turkish national team often plays matches here.  It’s a UEFA 4 star football stadium and as Galatasaray are regular participants in the Champions League, many top European teams have played here including Real Madrid and Manchester United.  Furthermore, the Turkish national team have hosted Germany here, unfortunately they lost 1-3.

One of the best photo opportunities on the Galatasaray stadium tour is in the media / press room.  This is where famous signings such as Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder were announced.  Equally important, the manager gives his press conferences here, both for Champions League as well as the Turkish super league.  You may sit up where the managers sit and take your photo.  It’s worth noting that both Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho have given press conferences here.

Home Team Dressing Room

If you have a favorite Galatasaray player, you may sit at his locker and take your photo.  The order in which you see the shirts set out is the actual order the manager sets up the changing room.  In addition to visiting the home dressing room, you’ll visit the players warm up area, cold bath area and showers area.  You do not visit the away teams changing rooms and I’m told they are not as plush as the home teams!  In effect, the changing rooms are another advantage to playing at home.

Players Tunnel

When you leave the changing rooms you’ll enter the players tunnel.  This is the part you’ll see on TV when the players are waiting to come onto the pitch.  It’s worth checking out the Galatasaray artwork on the walls.  Again this is reminding the opposition where they are and who they are playing, consequently intimidating the opposition!

As you walk out of the players tunnel, you’ll see the dugouts on either side.  The dugout on your left as you walk out is the Galatasaray dugout.  Both are the same but if you’re a Galatasaray fan you’ll want to be taking your photos on the correct side!  As well as photographing the dugouts, the entrance to the players tunnel is a good place to take a photo.

President Suite and VIP seats

On the Galatasaray stadium tour, the best view you get of the stadium is from the VIP area.  In addition to being able to sit in the VIP seats, the president’s suite is open and you’re encouraged to take a look inside.  The perfect stadium photo can be taken from this vantage point with the GALATASARAY letters in the background.

Behind the Goal Mouth

When you started the Galatasaray stadium tour, you were driven into the stadium in a plush minibus.  When you leave you walk behind the goalmouth and get to view the stadium as the goalkeeper does.  In addition you will view the stadium from couple more vantage points including the corner flags.  When you exit the stadium you’ll be back at the club shop.  If you saw something you liked, or would like a souvenir, now is the time to buy it.

Where is Galatasaray Stadium

The Turk Telekom arena is located at Seyrantepe on the green M2 metro line.  You must take the green M2 line to Sanaya Mah and change for Seyrantepe.  Once you arrive at Seyrantepe station, follow the exit signs for stadium (stadyumu).  If you’re already on the European side then you should easily be able to reach the green M2 line.  From the Asian side of Istanbul you can take the Marmaray metro line over and change to the green M2 line.

Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi A.K.A Türk Telekom Arena is the new stadium of famous Turkish football team, Galatasaray S.K.

Opened in 2011, with a capacity of 52,650 the ground cost a reported $250 million and holds the distinction of being the only suitable Turkish stadium for hosting matches of the UEFA Euro 2020 Championships.

Galatasaray Stadium Guide

Türk telekom stadium history.

Galatasaray’s Türk Telekom Arena was built over a four year period between 2007 – 2011 in order to replace the ageing Ali Sami Yen Stadium which was named in tribute to the club’s founder.

Plans to build a brand new stadium in Istanbul date as far back as 1997 when Gala employed a Canadian architectural firm to design a state-of-the-art ground but troubling economic times in 2001 and again in 2008 put the brakes on the project as the Turkish club couldn’t raise the necessary capital.

As a short term solution parts of Ali Sami Ye were renovated during the 2004-2005 season with the old Open Tribune demolished and rebuilt a season after due to safety concerns.

Recognizing the need for a more sustainable course of action, Galatasaray negotiated with the local council to hand over the property and land of the former stadium in exchange for a new plot of land in Aslantepe complete with permission to build the new stadium.

With Gala now securing the required finances the project was given the greenlight and the 52,652 all-seater stadium and ground was broke on the 13th December 2007.

Said to be by Schalke’s Veltins Arena , the ground was constructed under the working title of Aslantepe which means Lion Hill after the symbol of Galatasaray, with the naming rights eventually sold to Türk Telekom on a 10 year deal worth over $100 million during the 2010/2011 season.

The Ali Sami Yen Stadium had earned the nickname of “Hell” amongst football fans, and the new Türk Telekom Arena certainly maintains its predecessors fierce reputation.

In 2011 Galatasaray’s ground recorded a noise level of 131.76 decibels which was a Guinness World record for “loudest crowd roar at a sport stadium” until this record was beaten two years later at Century Link Field for an NFL game.

The record attendance to date was 52,044 against Real Madrid during a 2013 Champions League match.

Stand Photos

The Türk Telekom Arena is comprised of four stands: North, East, South and West.

Click the thumbnails above to enlarge an image of each stand and to read a more detailed description of each part of the Stadium.

Matchday Experience

Türk telekom stadium away section.

Away fans are housed within the top-tier of the south-east corner within sections 418, 419, 420 and 421. The away allocation for Arsenal’s Champions League match back in December 2014 was 2,456. Access is available via gates G11 and G12 at the back of the east stand.

Best Pubs near ground

There’s not really anywhere to drink once you get to the stadium with many fans choosing to stay in the Beyoglu area and its bars before getting on the metro.

Galatasaray Club Shop

Galatasaray’s club shop at the stadium spans over 1,650m² across two floors, and with the exception of the online GS Store, is the definitive place to purchase official merchandise of the Cim-Bom.

Opening Hours:

• Monday – Sunday: 10.00 am – 7.30 pm
• Matchdays: At least a few hours before kick-off.

Can you take a stadium Tour?

Much to the disappointment of football fans worldwide it doesn’t appear as if Galatasaray currently offer fans the chance to undertake a stadium tour of the new facilities in Istanbul. If this changes in the future we will be sure to update this section.

How to buy Galatasaray Tickets

Tickets to see Galatasary are usually quite hard to obtain due to the popularity of the club. With over 40,000 season ticket holders this leaves around 12,000 tickets theoretically for sale, but by the time they become available on general sale there’s likely to be a thousand available at most.

Galatasary lack their own online booking facility which means the tickets are often listed on reseller websites which can certainly murky the water when trying to find a reasonable price. The fact that tickets are only listed online in the week leading up to the match certainly doesn’t help Football Tripper plan their visit to the Turk Telekom Arena.

The ticket office usually opens around 2 and a half hours before kick-off and in the days leading up to the match. As tickets do sell out quickly you might have to utilise the service of ticket tours around the ground!

Expect to pay no more than 100.00 TRY which is about 33.5 euros for an average seat.

How to get to Türk Telekom Stadium

Where is türk telekom stadium.

Türk Telekom Arena sits just over 12km north of Istanbul’s historic centre, close to the business districts of Levant and Maslak which are within the European side of the city.

The stadium address for satnav is as follows:

• Türk Telekom Arena Stadyumu, ?stanbul, Turkey

Situated out of town there are four large multi-story car-parks available for supporters to use which equate to around 3,225 spaces in total.

Train - Public Transport

The main railway station connecting Istanbul to the rest of Europe is Sirkeci which sits on the western side of the city. As its over 16km away it’s not very practical when travelling directly to Gala’s stadium however.

Public Transport of Türk Telekom Stadium

Like other major European capitals, Istanbul’s metro system is arguably the easiest form of public transport to take when exploring the city. It is certainly the easiest way to travel to the Turk Telekom Arena with metro stop Seyrantepe the closest to the ground.

Located on the Green Metro Line 2 it’s probably easiest if you get on at either at the start at ?i?hane or the next stop along at Taksim.

Istanbul Atatürk Airport sits approximately 22km west of the city centre, and is the largest airport in Turkey with numerous international flight carriers flying in and out of Europe. There is also the smaller Sabiha Gökçen Airport which sits further away.

Upon landing you can either catch the metro (light rail) into the city centre, or one of the express bus services known as “Havata?” which depart every half an hour between 4.00 am – 12.00 am daily.

Hotels Near Türk Telekom Stadium

Located next to the large E-80 motorway hotels close to Galatasaray’s stadium are practically non-existent which means you’re better off looking back towards the start of the metro line. Three hotels worth looking at are Taksim Star, The Paradise Hoel and Chillout Cengo Hostel.

Galatasaray would consider Anthony Martial at lower salary - source

Gab Marcotti and Stewart Robson take a look at Sir Jim Ratcliffe's criteria for if Manchester United start looking for a new coach. (1:44)

Galatasaray are interested in signing Anthony Martial on a free transfer but the former Manchester United striker will have to drop his wage demands if the move is to happen, a source has told ESPN.

Martial is a free agent after nine years at Old Trafford. United officially confirmed his departure on Wednesday along with Raphaël Varane and Brandon Williams .

- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, NWSL more (U.S.)

Galatasaray are among a number of clubs to have expressed an interest in Martial.

However, a source has told ESPN that the Frenchman would have to accept a lower salary to secure a move to the Turkish champions.

The 28-year-old was restricted to just 13 Premier League appearances last season because of a series of injury problems.

He left the club having scored 90 goals in 317 games in all competitions with his last goal coming in a 3-0 win over Everton in November.

Martial hasn't played a competitive game since December after undergoing groin surgery.

Meanwhile, United are in talks with Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton about signing contract extensions.

Evans signed a one-year deal last summer and played 30 games in all competitions last season, including a substitute appearance in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at Wembley.

The 36-year-old can leave for free this summer but United have said discussions remain "open" about a new deal.

The situation is the same for third-choice goalkeeper Heaton.

United have also offered a new contract to Omari Forson . The 19-year-old forward made his senior debut last season but, according to sources, is expected to leave the club this summer.

United's contract offer means that they will be due compensation if Forson agrees a move to another club.

United are also in talks with Shola Shoretire about a new contract but have confirmed that former Tottenham and England midfielder Tom Huddlestone has left after two years in an Under-21 player-coach role.

Galatasaray SK Stadium

Football is without a doubt the most well-known sport in turkey. whether they enjoy the sport or not, almost everyone in the nation is a fan of one football team. there are many different football teams

A Brief History Of Galatasaray SK Stadium

Galatasaray struggled the most in terms of finding a stadium out of the main three in the middle of the twentieth century. Fenerbahçe erected the Fenerbahce Stadium after the Taksim Stadium was destroyed in 1940, while Besiktas relocated into the Seref Stadium before building their BJK Inonu Stadium a few years later. Ali Haydar Barşal, the president of Galatasaray at the time, and the government agreed to share a tiny plot of land outside of Mecidiyekoy in 1933. The building began in 1936, but despite Adnan Menderes, the president of the Turkish Sports Organization at the time, providing financial support, work had to be suspended due to budgetary constraints.

Under Tevfik Ali Cnar's presidency, the same land was leased to Galatasaray once more in 1940. But on top of the fact that a second World War was taking place, they encountered the same financial issues once more. To swiftly address this issue, Osman Dardagan constructed a modest stadium with a small tribune in Mecidiyekoy, which was given the name Ali Sami Yen Stadium in honor of the club's founder. However, the stadium remained unused for a considerable amount of time due to its remote position and the terrible weather in the area.

After Besiktas completed construction of the Inonu Stadium in 1947, Galatasaray halted work on the stadium in Mecidiyekoy and played there for a short while. Following more financial issues on Galatasaray's end, the physical education general directorate took up the development of the Mecidiyekoy stadium. When the building process was completed in 1961, the Physical Education General Directorate gave Galatasaray complete access to the stadium.

Galatasaray, however, continued to experience ill luck even on the opening day, December 20, 1964. One of the tribunes collapsed under the stadium's excessive crowding, killing one person and injuring 84 others. Galatasaray abandoned the Mecidiyekoy Stadium once more in 1972 and played in the Inonu Stadium until 1981 after Besiktas resumed using it.

The stadium was reopened in 1981, then in 1993, new seats were installed and the lighting system was upgraded. Galatasaray made plans to replace the Ali Sami Yen Stadium with a new stadium public in 1997. The club started this initiative in 1998, but they were unable to secure the required approvals from the mayor and the state. Despite making a second attempt in 2001 with an improved cost-cutting strategy, the club was unable to secure the required funding due to the 2001 financial crisis.

Also, this time, starting around 1990, Ali Sami Yen Stadium earned the infamous moniker "Galatasaray Stadium of Hell." During games, Galatasaray supporters were infamous for making a lot of noise and lighting hundreds of flares, which created a terrible environment and gave the impression that the stadium was on fire. Numerous signs reading "Welcome to Hell" would be displayed to put the other squad under strain. On the center area of the covered tribune, they had a renowned "Welcome to Ali Sami Yen Hell" poster, but the team was forced to take it down after receiving a warning from UEFA in 2000. According to Setanta Sports, Ali Sami Yen is the fourth-best stadium in the world for atmosphere.

Similar financial issues led to a deal with Galatasaray and the government. Since Mecidiyekoy was now a part of the city center, the state suggested Seyrantepe as an alternative site for Galatasaray's new stadium out of concern over future traffic bottlenecks. Galatasaray put all of its energy into the brand-new Seyrantepe project, which was shortly renamed Aslantepe.

The building process began in 2007 and was completed in 2011. Turk Telekom Arena was picked as the name for the new Galatasaray Stadium, which was changed to Galatasaray Football Stadium.

Rams Global Stadium was about $200 million in price. There are 52,650 seats available for spectators, a 4-story tribune system, 176 seats for the disabled and their companions, 33 buffets, 198 suites, 6,231 VIP seats, and 6 Galatasaray stores, 2,900 VIP parking spaces, and a 350-seat restaurant.

In Turkey, it is the first and only stadium that satisfies the 2016 UEFA standards. After Ataturk Olympic Stadium, it is also the largest stadium in the nation.

Visiting Rams Global Stadium

A Passolig card is necessary to watch any football match in Turkey, thus if you want to get Galatasaray Stadium tickets, you must first have one. After receiving your card, you can save time by purchasing your tickets online.

Anyone who thinks about the beauties of İstanbul cannot avoid remembering Bosphorus as a fantastic tourist attraction. However, there are different opinions about the formation model and time of the formation of the Bosphorus. Except for the regional scientific studies, mainly drilling samples of some engineering projects implemented in the Bosphorus since 1986, no systematic scientific study covering the whole of the Bosphorus has been conducted. When the major studies on the Bosphorus are compiled, the existence of a delicate balance that has been achieved over millennia emerges in the strait. Currents, whirlpools, turbulences, eddies, submarine rivers, submarine waterfalls, ridges, troughs, valleys and sills all play a role in this fine balance. When you search for the best places to visit in İstanbul, you shouldn’t skip having an unforgettable Bosphorus dinner cruise.

Ligue des Champions : des tours préliminaires qui s'annoncent bouillants

Comme chaque été, le visage de la prochaine Ligue des Champions se dessine à l'occasion des tours préliminaires. Alors qu'on arrive au troisième tour et que l'AS Monaco entre en lice, c'est le moment de faire le point sur les prochaines rencontres.

Le mois d'août, c'est souvent synonyme de vacances, synonyme de plage, mais c'est surtout les tours préliminaires de la Ligue des Champions . Pour cette édition 2021/2022 dont la finale se déroulera au stade Krestovski de Saint-Pétersbourg en Russie, ils étaient 80 au départ pour la victoire finale et ne seront plus que 32 formations le 25 août prochain lors des derniers barrages. Depuis les premiers matches du 22 juin dernier entre Folgore-Falciano (Saint-Marin) et Pristina (Kosovo) ainsi qu'entre Torshavn (Îles Féroé) et l'Inter Club d'Escaldes (Andorre), l'écrémage a été important avec plusieurs surprises comme les éliminations précoces du FK Bodø/Glimt (Norvège), du Maccabi Haïfa (Israël), du Celtic (Écosse) ou encore de Galatasaray (Turquie). Pour obtenir les six derniers tickets en phase de poules, ils sont encore 22 et se départageront lors de deux derniers tours préliminaires.

Du côté de la voie des champions où 4 tickets seront attribués, ils sont 14 à disputer le 3e tour tandis que le Red Bull Salzbourg (Autriche) et Brøndby (Danemark) feront leur entrée lors du stade des barrages. Échouant en qualifications la saison dernière, le Dinamo Zagreb (Croatie) retrouve le Legia Varsovie (Pologne) qui n'a de son côté plus disputé la phase de poules de la Ligue des Champions depuis la saison 2016/2017. Favoris, les Croates ont disputé trois fois la phase de poules de la Ligue des Champions sur les six dernières années. Présents en phase de poules de la Ligue des Champions 2018/2019, les Young Boys de Berne (Suisse) restent aussi sur 5 échecs en qualifications sur les six dernières éditions. Conscients qu'ils manquent souvent le coche, les Helvètes tenteront de rectifier le tir contre les Roumains de Cluj qui court après la phase de poules de la Ligue des Champions depuis la saison 2012/2013. Régulier de la compétition, l'Olympiakos (Grèce) a participé à 9 des 11 dernières éditions et a notamment affronté l'Olympique de Marseille la saison dernière. Les joueurs de Pedro Martins seront favoris même si le Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgarie) a déjà su s'extraire des tours préliminaires en 2014-2015 et 2016-2017.

Un tableau assez équilibré

Dans les autres affiches, il y aura un duel entre l'Étoile rouge de Belgrade (Serbie) qui joue régulièrement l'Europe et le Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldavie) qui n'a jamais fait mieux que d'atteindre les barrages en 2009-2010 et 2010-2011. Cette fois encore, la marche devrait être trop grande contre les Serbes. Après avoir ravi le titre national au Celtic, les Rangers (Écosse) retrouvent Malmö (Suède) qui a déçu avec des qualifications difficiles aux tours précédents. Favoris, les hommes de Steven Gerrard rêvent de retrouver une compétition qui les fuit depuis l'exercice 2010/2011. Enfin, le dernier match opposera deux équipes montantes, Ferencvaros (Hongrie) qui était déjà là l'an dernier et le Slavia Prague (République Tchèque) qui est allé en quart de finale de la dernière Ligue Europa. On tient peut-être la rencontre la plus équilibrée de cette voie des champions. Les six qualifiés de ces confrontations se retrouveront donc en barrages.

Justement en barrages, le RB Salzbourg aura un rang à défendre contre les Danois de Brøndby. Réguliers en Europe, les coéquipiers de Karim Adeyemi défieront une équipe qui n'a jamais disputé la phase de poules de la Ligue des Champions au 21e siècle et partiront avec le statut de favori. Le vainqueur d'Étoile Rouge de Belgrade - Sheriff Tiraspol affrontera le vainqueur de Dinamo Zagreb - Legia Varsovie. Si des quatre équipes, le Dinamo Zagreb a un peu plus d'expérience, cela offrira quand même une rencontre équilibrée. Scénario identique du côté de la double confrontation entre les vainqueurs de Cluj - Young Boys Berne et Ferencváros - Slavia Prague. Enfin la dernière confrontation qui mettra aux prises les vainqueurs de Malmö - Rangers et Olympiakos - Ludogorets Razgrad. Logiquement, les Écossais et les Grecs sortent du lot et pourraient offrir une belle double confrontation s'ils atteignent ce tour.

Monaco va devoir batailler

Offrant deux places qualificatives, la voie de la ligue met aux prises huit équipes dont l' AS Monaco (France) . Troisièmes de la dernière saison de Ligue 1, les hommes de Niko Kovac ont une première confrontation qui semble à leur portée face au Sparta Prague (République Tchéque) . Après quelques saisons compliquées, les Rudí reviennent doucement, mais l'écart risque d'être important. S'il faudra être sérieux et appliqué, les chances de qualifications asémistes sont là pour une équipe de retour après deux ans sans voir l'Europe. En cas de qualification en revanche, cela risque d'être plus compliqué puisque Monaco n'est pas tête de série. Ils défieront ainsi le vainqueur du match entre le Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) et Genk (Belgique) . La formation ukrainienne se dégage puisque les joueurs de Roberto De Zerbi n'ont pas accédé aux phases de poules de la Ligue des Champions lors de seulement une seule reprise sur les onze dernières éditions, c'était lors de la saison 2016/2017. Loin de jouer le rôle de faire-valoir, les joueurs de Genk tenteront de réaliser une grosse performance et de disputer la Ligue des Champions comme en 2019/2020. Que ça soit l'une ou l'autre de ces deux équipes, Monaco aura fort à faire.

Pour le second ticket il y aura d'un côté le vainqueur de la double confrontation entre le PSV Eindhoven (Pays-Bas) et le FC Midtjylland (Danemark) . Les Néerlandais ont plus d'expérience et ont laminé Galatasaray au tour précédent (5-1/2-1). Tombeur du Celtic (1-1/2-1), Midtjylland ne manquera pas d'arguments et avait d'ailleurs participé à la dernière phase de poules de Ligue des Champions. Cependant, le vainqueur de ce match aura fort à faire en barrages. En effet, le duel entre Benfica (Portugal) et le Spartak Moscou (Russie) va faire des dégâts puisque ce sont deux équipes avec une grande histoire européenne qui s'affrontent. Surpris par le PAOK à ce stade l'an dernier, Benfica tentera de s'éviter une seconde mauvaise surprise et se présente comme léger favori contre les Russes menés par Rui Vitoria ancien coach de ... Benfica. Le parcours est semé d'embucher pour toutes ces équipes dont Monaco. D'ailleurs, les Asémistes ne seront pas épargnés s'ils atteignent la phase de poules de puisqu'ils tomberont dans le chapeau 4 à moins que toutes les têtes de série (Salzbourg, Dinamo Zagreb, Slavia Prague, Olympiakos, Shakhtar Donetsk et Benfica) passent à la trappe. Un scénario qui semble peu probable. Lille sera dans le chapeau 1 grâce à son statut de champion de France et le Paris Saint-Germain sera dans le chapeau 2.

Deuxième du championnat, l'AS Monaco fait son retour en Ligue des Champions. Les Monégasques vont participer à la première édition du nouveau format. L'occasion pour nous de faire un point sur la compétition la saison prochaine.

L' AS Monaco a réussit son objectif de la saison : décrocher une qualification en Ligue des Champions . Si tout n'a pas été parfait, les hommes d'Adi Hütter ont fait preuve de plus de régularité, pour finir dauphin du Paris Saint-Germain.

L'ASM disputera donc l'édition 2024/25 de la plus prestigieuse des compétitions européenne. Mais attention, la Ligue des Champions change de format. Fini les phases de poules, place à un mini-championnat de 36 équipes. Monaco disputera huit matches, dont quatre au Stade Louis II, les autres à l'extérieur.

À l'issue de ces rencontres, les huit premiers seront directement qualifiés en huitième de finales. Les clubs classés de la 9e à la 24e place disputeront un barrage, qui fera office de 16e de finales. Le reste du tableau finale reste classique, avec des quarts, deux demi-finales et une finale.

Quelles seront les dates de la Ligue des Champions 2024/25 pour l'AS Monaco ?

Comme avant, la compétition se déroule sur l'ensemble de la saison. L' AS Monaco a décroché son billet direct pour le mini-championnat et n'aura pas besoin de passer par les barrages.

Quels seront les adversaires de l'as monaco .

Les Monégasques sont sûrs de disputer au moins huit rencontres. L'ASM affrontera deux adversaires de chaque chapeau, désignés à la suite d'un tirage au sort. Pour sa part, l' AS Monaco sera placé dans le chapeau 3 ou 4.

L'équipe du Rocher ne pourra pas défier le PSG, Brest ou Lille (en cas de qualification), durant la phase du mini-championnat. Le règlement stipule que deux équipes, qui représentent le même pays, ne peuvent s'affronter que lors de la phase finale.

• Chapeau 1 :  Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, FC Barcelone
• Chapeau 2 :  Bayer Leverkusen, Atlético de Madrid, Atalanta, Juventus, Benfica, Arsenal, Club Bruges, Shakhtar Donetsk...
• Chapeau 3  : Feyenoord, Sporting, PSV...
• Chapeau 4 :  Sturm Graz, Brest...

Tous les chapeaux ne sont pas encore intégralement remplis, puisque les phases de qualification, via les barrages n'ont pas encore eu lieu. C'est pour cela que Monaco ne sait pas encore, s'il sera placé chapeau 3 ou 4.

Les équipes en qualification : 

Étoile Rouge de Belgrade, LOSC, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Rangers, PAOK, Apoel Nicosie, Dinamo Zagreb, Ludogorets... 

Quand aura lieu le tirage au sort de la Ligue des Champions 2024/25 ?

Le tirage au sort se déroulera à l'issue des phases de qualification, le 29 août prochain. C'est ce jour là que l'AS Monaco prendra connaissant de l'identité de ses huit adversaires.

Quel est l'historique de l'AS Monaco dans la compétition ?

L'ASM fait parti des rares clubs français à avoir atteint la finale de Ligue des Champions . C'était lors de la saison 2003/2004. Entraîné par Didier Deschamps à l'époque, l'AS Monaco s'inclinait face au FC Porto de José Mourinho (3-0). Monaco avait notamment éliminé le Real Madrid au cours de son parcours.

Plus récemment, l' AS Monaco avait échoué à deux reprises à se qualifier lors des barrages. En 2022, les Monégasques s'inclinaient au troisième tour préliminaire, face au PSV Eindhoven (4-3, sur l'ensemble des deux matches. Un an auparavant, en 2021, les coéquipiers d'Aleksandr Golovin tombaient, en barrage, face au Shakhtar Donetsk (2-3).

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
