The Turkish fiasco is over Super Cup between the Fenerbahce and the Galatasaray in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia!
After several consultations of the competent authorities shortly before half-time (19:45), the match that would decide the first title of the season finally permanently postponed!
The reason is none other than the fact that the Saudis were diametrically opposed to the events planned by the Turks with the display of a large Turkish flag and a Kemal Ataturk banner, on the occasion of celebration from 100 years of the establishment of the state.
In fact, the Saudis have informed the Turkish federation that they will not allow the display of national symbols of another country in their stadium. Ultimately, the issues that arose could not be resolved, with both sides leading to the final postponement of the match.
In fact, shortly before the match’s half-time, an Arabic song was heard from the speakers of the stadium, which was strongly disapproved by the Turks who were in the stands.
Now, the two teams have been told to return to Turkey, with the players staying at the hotel and waiting to see what happens from here on out.
