The 2022-2023 Süper Lig champion Galatasaray and the Ziraat Turkish Cup winner Fenerbahçe were set to face each other in the Turkcell Super Cup Final in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
However, because Saudi officials did not permit Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe to take the field for warm-ups wearing Atatürk t-shirts and carrying banners, both clubs decided not to play the match and departed from Riyadh.
The yellow-red squad arrived at Istanbul Airport in the early hours of the morning. As the team exited, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe fans present at the airport showed their intense support for the team.
Head coach Okan Buruk waved to the fans as he boarded his vehicle.
Kerem Demirbay went over to the fans to thank them for their support.
Galatasaray will resume training on Wednesday, January 3.
