Galatasaray, representing our country in the UEFA Champions League, will host the Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt on Wednesday, October 22. The big match will take place at RAMS Park and will start at 19:45.
TFF'S DECISION ON SIMULTANEOUS MATCHES
However, according to the decision made by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), two Super League postponed matches will also be played on the same evening as Galatasaray's Champions League match.
Matches included in the schedule;
- TÜMOSAN Konyaspor – Beşiktaş
- Çaykur Rizespor – RAMS Başakşehir
Both matches will start at 20:00.
DECISION RECEIVED BACKLASH
The TFF's decision has been heavily criticized in the football community. Fans expressed that playing local matches during Galatasaray's European campaign would "divide the viewership" and "weaken Turkey's representation power in Europe."
Sports commentators also stated that TFF's planning casts a shadow over the Champions League atmosphere and negatively affects the brand value of Super League matches.
"COMMON GOAL IS ESSENTIAL FOR TURKISH FOOTBALL"
Critics emphasized that the TFF should prioritize teams competing in Europe in its calendar planning. Football enthusiasts commented, "While a Turkish team is playing in Europe, all eyes should be there, and scheduling local matches at the same time is a big mistake."
