Arca Çorum FK promotion and stadium upgrades

Arca Çorum FK has undergone significant financial and infrastructural development to facilitate its promotion to the Trendyol Süper Lig. Club president Savaş Balçık provided substantial funding, including approximately €2–2.5 million in sponsorship fees and €2.5–3 million for renovations to the Çorum City Stadium. These upgrades included the installation of hybrid turf, underfloor heating, new lighting, and electronic advertising boards.

In its first home match of the season in the Süper Lig at the renovated Çorum Şehir Stadı, Arca Çorum FK suffered a 1-0 defeat against Kasımpaşa. The match was decided in the 6th minute by a goal from Adrian Benedyczak. Following the match, Kasımpaşa manager Emre Belözoğlu praised Çorum FK’s strong performance and possession-based play, while noting his team’s defensive discipline. Çorum FK technical official Tamer Sivrikaya stated that although the team controlled the momentum and possession for much of the game, they suffered from a lack of clinical finishing and a momentary lapse in concentration that led to the early goal.

As previously noted, the marathon stand remained closed for this fixture due to a prior spectator-related disciplinary penalty. Regarding squad management, the club has announced the mutual termination of contracts for winger Burak Çoban and 36-year-old center-back Sinan Osmanoğlu.
