Kayserispor will face Vanspor FK in their first league match of the season on August 9, 2026, at the Spor Toto Akhisar Stadium. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has approved Vanspor FK's request to host their home games at this venue, marking a significant change for the team that usually plays its matches in their own stadium.

Kayserispor’s official statement reads: 'Vanspor Futbol Kulübü'nün iç saha müsabakalarını Spor Toto Akhisar Stadyumu’nda oynama talebi, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu tarafından kabul edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda Kayserisporumuz, ligin ilk haftasında 9 Ağustos 2026 Pazar günü saat 21.30’da Spor Toto Akhisar Stadyumu’nda Vanspor’a konuk olacaktır.' The statement confirms the approval by the TFF and that Kayserispor will be visiting Vanspor FK at their new home ground for this crucial match.

This move is expected to bring a different atmosphere to the game, as Akhisar Stadyum has a strong local following. Fans of both teams are looking forward to seeing how the players perform in this unique setting. The match will start at 21:30 on August 9, 2026, and is set to be an exciting opener for Kayserispor’s season.
