It has been alleged that a "National Anthem" and "Atatürk banner" crisis occurred ahead of the Turkcell Super Cup match to be played this evening between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

It was stated that the Saudi government officials who imposed the ban directly told both clubs that they were "speaking on behalf of the King" and prohibited both the shirts and the banners.
