Attention fans traveling to Riyadh for the Super Cup! Say 'Tamr' instead of 'Hurma'!
The Turkish Football Federation has published an informational text regarding points to consider for fans traveling to Riyadh ahead of the Super Cup match between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. The match, which will be played in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, will take place on December 29 at Al-Awwal Park Stadium. According to the text shared by the TFF, fans traveling to Riyadh for the match will need to pay attention to a series of rules.
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF), in an announcement made on its official website, warned fans to be careful not to march or chant outside the stadium.
It was emphasized that alcohol, drugs, pornographic material, or pork must not be brought into the country. The statement noted, "It is important to speak and act within the framework of rules of respect when communicating with police and local authorities," and added, "Since 'Hurma' means woman in Arabic, it would be useful to say 'Tamr' when purchasing dates." On the other hand, although it was stated that there is no requirement for women to wear a headscarf, it was noted that general etiquette and dress codes must be observed.
The statement, titled "Turkish Citizens Coming to Riyadh Must Pay Attention to the Following Points," is as follows:
"The number to call for possible emergencies or to reach the police in the country is 999.
For medical emergencies and ambulances, 997 must be called.
Hospitals in Riyadh: Specialized Medical Center Hospital, King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Dr. Suleiman Al Habib Hospital, Dallah Hospital, Al Hammadi Hospital.
It is recommended that Turkish citizens carry their identification documents and passports with them at all times.

Collective chanting, demonstrations, or marches should not be held in public areas in Saudi Arabia, except in the stands. Such actions can be perceived as a 'threat to public order.'
No flags other than Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe flags and the Turkish Flag will be allowed into the stadium.
Turkish Embassy and consulate emergency numbers are as follows:
+966 50 712 71 46 +966 50 049 64 89"

Hello: Salam Alaykum
Thank you: Shukran
You're welcome: Afwan
How are you?: Kaif halak? Or Kaif al hal?
