AEK Athens fans, who came to the city for the UEFA Conference League match in Samsun, attempted to unfurl banners, take photos, or chant provocative slogans in front of the Atatürk Monument. To prevent this, Samsunspor fans kept vigil around the monument throughout the night.

Samsunspor will host the Greek team AEK Athens in the 5th week of the UEFA Conference League at home. The red-and-white team's fans gathered at Anıt Park from last night onwards, following social media posts suggesting that some AEK groups might display provocative images around the Atatürk Monument.
