The final week of the 2025-26 Trendyol Süper Lig season was the scene of great excitement. Although Antalyaspor managed to defeat Kocaelispor 1-0 at home, their hopes of staying in the league ended after Eyüpspor drew 3-3 with Fenerbahçe. In particular, the goal Eyüpspor found in the 87th minute determined the fate of the Mediterranean team, and the red-and-whites became the last team to be relegated this season.
With the final whistle of the match, Antalyaspor fans showed intense reaction toward President Rıza Perçin. Along with the criticisms coming from the stands, tense moments were also experienced around the stadium. While the fans blamed the management for the team's failure, Perçin's statements ignited the debate.
During a brief dialogue with the fans, President Perçin said, "Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Trabzonspor... I have nothing to say. They did what was expected of them!" These words created a separate wave of anger among the fans, with shouts of "You shouldn't have left it to the final week" rising from the crowd.
