Antalyaspor vs. Alanyaspor Tickets Priced at Just 7 TL for High-Stakes Süper Lig Derby
April 28, 2026 — Antalya, Türkiye
In a move designed to fill the stands and energize the local fanbase, Antalyaspor has announced that tickets for its upcoming Süper Lig derby against Alanyaspor will proceed on sale for just 7 Turkish Lira (approximately $0.22 USD). The match, scheduled for Sunday, May 3 at 8:00 PM local time (5:00 PM UTC), carries significant stakes for both teams as they battle to secure their positions in Turkey’s top flight.
Why the Ultra-Low Ticket Price?
Antalyaspor’s decision to price tickets at 7 TL—a fraction of the usual cost—comes as part of a broader fan engagement initiative. The club, currently 12th in the Süper Lig standings with 38 points from 30 matches, is looking to rally support ahead of a critical stretch of fixtures. Alanyaspor, meanwhile, sits just two points behind in 14th place, making this derby a potential six-pointer in the fight to avoid relegation.
Official statements from Antalyaspor confirm that the 7 TL tickets will be available for general admission seating in specific sections of Corendon Airlines Park, the club’s 32,537-capacity stadium in Antalya. The promotion is limited to a set number of seats, with sales opening on Wednesday, April 29 at 10:00 AM local time via the club’s official ticketing platform.
“This is about bringing the community together,” an Antalyaspor spokesperson told Archysport. “We aim for to see the stands full and the atmosphere electric for a match that could define our season.”
What’s at Stake in the Derby?
The Süper Lig’s relegation battle has intensified in recent weeks, with the bottom five teams separated by just six points. Antalyaspor and Alanyaspor are currently two of the four teams in the drop zone (15th–18th), though neither has been mathematically relegated. Here’s how the standings look heading into the match:
| Position | Team | Points (GD) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | Antalyaspor | 38 (-6) |
| 14 | Alanyaspor | 36 (-10) |
| 15 | Konyaspor | 35 (-8) |
| 16 | Gaziantep FK | 34 (-12) |
| 17 | Hatayspor | 32 (-15) |
With only four matches remaining in the regular season, every point is critical. A win for either side could provide a crucial buffer in the relegation race, while a draw would leave both teams vulnerable to being overtaken by rivals in the coming weeks.
Sami Uğurlu’s Warning: “No Room for Regret”
Alanyaspor manager Sami Uğurlu, who has been vocal about the importance of recent fixtures, recently described the team’s upcoming matches—including the derby against Antalyaspor—as having “no room for recovery.” In a press conference earlier this month, Uğurlu emphasized the psychological weight of the final stretch:
“The last three weeks have been unforgiving. There is no making up for these matches. The Alanyaspor match is no different—it’s a game we must win.”
— Sami Uğurlu, Alanyaspor Head Coach
Uğurlu’s comments underscore the high-pressure environment surrounding the derby. His tactical approach in recent matches has focused on high pressing and quick transitions, a style that has yielded mixed results but could prove decisive in a tightly contested match.
Key Players to Watch
Both teams enter the derby with injury concerns and suspensions that could shape the outcome:

Antalyaspor
- Sander van de Streek (MF): The Dutch midfielder has been Antalyaspor’s most consistent performer this season, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists in 28 appearances. His ability to control the tempo and deliver set pieces will be vital.
- Georgiy Dzhikiya (DF): The experienced Russian defender has marshaled the backline but will miss the match due to suspension after picking up his fourth yellow card of the season in the previous game.
- Nikola Storm (FW): The Belgian forward has found form late in the season, scoring 4 goals in his last 6 matches. His pace and movement could exploit Alanyaspor’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Alanyaspor
- Oğuz Aydın (FW): Alanyaspor’s top scorer with 8 goals this season, Aydın has been a constant threat in the final third. His partnership with Loïc Rémy (on loan from Beşiktaş) has provided the team’s primary attacking outlet.
- Fatih Aksoy (DF): The Turkish defender has been a rock at the back but is questionable for the derby after suffering a minor ankle injury in training. His absence would be a significant blow to Alanyaspor’s defensive structure.
- Efecan Karaca (MF): The creative midfielder has been sidelined since March with a knee injury but is expected to return for the derby. His vision and passing range could unlock Antalyaspor’s defense.
Tactical Preview: How the Teams Match Up
Antalyaspor, under interim manager Mehmet Özdilek, has adopted a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 formation in recent weeks, prioritizing defensive solidity and counterattacking opportunities. The team’s strength lies in its midfield, where van de Streek and Ramzi Safuri provide a balance of creativity and industry. Still, the absence of Dzhikiya could expose the defense, particularly against Alanyaspor’s direct attacking style.
Alanyaspor, meanwhile, has oscillated between a 4-3-3 and a 3-5-2 this season, with Uğurlu favoring a fluid front three. The team’s pressing game has been effective in forcing turnovers, but their defensive record (38 goals conceded, the third-worst in the league) suggests vulnerabilities that Antalyaspor could exploit.
Key tactical battles to watch:
- Antalyaspor’s full-backs vs. Alanyaspor’s wingers: Alanyaspor’s Adam Maher and Umut Güneş will look to stretch play and deliver crosses into the box. Antalyaspor’s Kenneth Paal and Samet Karakoç will require to balance defensive duties with supporting their own attacks.
- Midfield control: The battle between van de Streek and Alanyaspor’s Tayfur Bingöl could dictate the flow of the game. If van de Streek can dominate, Antalyaspor will likely control possession and tempo.
- Set pieces: Both teams have scored a significant portion of their goals from dead-ball situations. Antalyaspor’s Dario Šarić and Alanyaspor’s Fatih Aksoy (if fit) will be key figures in these moments.
What Fans Can Expect at Corendon Airlines Park
The 7 TL ticket promotion is expected to draw a large crowd, with Antalyaspor’s fan groups, including the Red Soldiers and 07 Gençlik, planning coordinated displays and chants. The stadium, located in the heart of Antalya, is known for its passionate atmosphere, particularly in high-stakes matches.
For visiting Alanyaspor supporters, a designated away section will be available, though travel logistics and ticket allocations may limit their numbers. The match will be broadcast live on beIN Sports Turkey and available via international streaming platforms for global viewers.
Local authorities have assured that security measures will be in place to manage the anticipated turnout, including increased police presence and bag checks at entry points.
What’s Next for Both Teams?
The derby is just one of four remaining matches for both Antalyaspor and Alanyaspor, each carrying immense weight in the relegation battle. Here’s a look at their upcoming fixtures:
Antalyaspor’s Remaining Schedule
- May 3: vs. Alanyaspor (Home)
- May 10: at Fenerbahçe (Away)

For Alanyaspor, the home fixture against Beşiktaş looms as another six-pointer, given Beşiktaş’s own struggles in recent weeks.
