Rival Football Fans Flock to Airports
The Super Cup between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, planned to be held at Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has been postponed to a later date. The two teams had arrived in Saudi Arabia but the match was called off just hours before the scheduled kickoff. It was revealed that the Saudi Arabian authorities did not permit the teams to display Atatürk banners and wear T-shirts. The two teams subsequently refused to play the match.
After the postponement, the teams returned to Istanbul and were greeted by their fans at the airports. The Fenerbahçe delegation arrived at Sabiha Gökçen Airport, while the Galatasaray delegation landed at Istanbul Airport. Fans flocked to both airports to welcome their teams, holding flags and cheering as they arrived.
Fenerbahçe Coach İsmail Kartal extended his gratitude to the fans for their support upon their return. Thousands of fans were present at both airports to show their unwavering support for their teams.
It is yet to be announced when the match will be rescheduled, but for now, both teams are back home in Turkey after the unexpected turn of events.
