Name changes

Known for his links to the Islamic Gülen movement, he resigned from politics after a controversy with the party leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. His name was then removed from the stadium.

In later time, it was renamed to "Sancaktepe 15 Temmuz Şehitler Stadı" (literally: Sancaktepe 15 July Martyrs Satdium) in honor of the fallen people during the 2016 coup attempt on 15 July. [3]
