Das Rätsel um den Magnificent Cup ist gelöst; Galatasaray und Fenerbahçe stehen sich heute in Şanlıurfa gegenüber

Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will face each other on April 7th in Şanlıurfa in the 2023 Harika Cup match. While Fenerbahçe announced that they will be on the field with their U19 team, it was revealed that the yellow-dark blue team would arrive in Şanlıurfa 3 hours before the game. Galatasaray stated: „the best,“ He will go out with his team. The 2023 Super Cup match, which was supposed to take place on December 29, 2023, at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was postponed due to the crisis before the game in Riyadh. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) announced on February 21, 2024, that the Super Cup match will be played on April 7, 2024, at Nisan Stadium in Şanlıurfa. The referee in the competition, which starts today at 9:30 p.m., will be Volkan Bayarslan. Bayarslan’s assistants will be Serkan Ok and Serkan Olguncan. Fenerbahçe will be on the field with the U19 team. After the events following the Trabzonspor match, Fenerbahçe’s management held an extraordinary board meeting on April 2 and received approval from the members for the steps to be taken. On April 3, in accordance with the decision of the board meeting chaired by Ali Koç, the yellow-dark blue team announced that they would play with the U19 team in the match unless the game is postponed and no foreign referee is appointed. Since TFF did not accept these demands from Fenerbahçe, the yellow-dark blue team will play today’s match with the U19 team. It turned out that while the players of Group A wanted to play the Super Cup match, the management stood behind the decision and was determined to play the match with the U19 team. „There will be no 90-minute game.“ Deputy Chairman of Fenerbahçe, Erol Bilecik, in his statement before the Superior Cup match before the Adana Demirspor match on Wednesday, April 3, said, „If we say, ‚The fans should not go,‘ I hereby declare that our A team will not go, and it will not be a 90-minute game.“ In line with this statement, the appearance of the yellow-dark blue team on the field with 9 players and 3 injuries is one of the most discussed possibilities. According to the rules, there must be at least 7 players on the field for the game to continue, and there are still 6 players left in the yellow-dark blue team. The referee will declare the game as 3-0 in favor of Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe’s team will arrive in Şanlıurfa for the Super Cup match about three hours before the game. Galatasaray will go out with its best team. In line with Fenerbahçe’s decision, it was also a matter of curiosity with which team Galatasaray would play. Both technical director Okan Buruk and the leader Dursun Ozbek announced that Galatasaray will be on the field with its best team despite Fenerbahçe’s decision to go out with its U19 team. While Dursun Özbek stated that he wanted Fenerbahçe to enter the field with its A team, Okan Buruk stated that they had not thought about what kind of team the opponent would field and that they would be on the field with the best-prepared team.
