Galatasaray vs Aston Villa: Date, Kick-off and Stadium

The game is part of the UEFA Champions League 2026/27 league phase. Aston Villa come from Birmingham, and Galatasaray play at home. RAMS Park, officially Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi RAMS Park, stands in Sarıyer on the European side. It opened in January 2011 and has about 52,000 seats. Its roof keeps the noise in, and on big nights the stands sing almost without pause.

If you go by public transport, the M2 metro runs to Sanayi Mahallesi, where you change for the Seyrantepe line to the stadium. On our tour, we drive you instead, so you can stay for the songs after the Aston Villa game.
