Galatasaray v Fenerbahce: Turkish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia postponedBy Burak AbatayBBC TürkçeLast updated on 30 December 202330 December 2023.From the section European Football

The Turkish Super Cup final between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in Saudi Arabia was postponed because of a disagreement between the clubs and the host nation's authorities.

The match was scheduled to kick off at 17.45 GMT but, with thousands of fans inside Riyadh's Al-Awwal Stadium, it was called off at 19:00.

The Turkish Football Federation and the clubs blamed "problems in organising" the match after authorities refused banners referring to the revered father of modern Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
