In the Muğlaspor-İstanbulspor match, where there were only three people in the away stand, the dedication of Yaşar Karataş and his two children to their team drew attention.
THERE WERE ONLY 3 PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE AWAY STAND
In the match played between Muğlaspor and İstanbulspor in the TFF 1. Lig, an unusual stand scene emerged. In the section reserved for the visiting team at the host team's stadium, only 37-year-old Yaşar Karataş and his two children took their places. Karataş, who came to Muğla to support İstanbulspor, took his place in the away stand with his 9-year-old daughter Ravzanur and 2-year-old son Göktuğ Alp. Karataş, who was the only adult supporter of the yellow-black team at the match, supported İstanbulspor together with his children.
HE TOOK A PLANE TO MUĞLA FOR HIS TEAM
Yaşar Karataş's away journey began from Kocaeli. Karataş, who has lived in Kocaeli for work since 2019, did not want to miss the match İstanbulspor would play against Muğlaspor. First, Karataş went from Kocaeli to İstanbul, and then reached Muğla by plane. Moreover, he did not make this journey alone. His daughter Ravzanur and his 2-year-old son Göktuğ Alp accompanied their father. Thus, the family of three became the only supporter group of İstanbulspor in the Muğla away match.
HE HAS NOT LEFT HIS TEAM ALONE SINCE 2017
Yaşar Karataş, who was born and raised in İstanbul and is originally from Çankırı, has been a devoted İstanbulspor fan for many years. Karataş, who has followed the yellow-black team's home and away matches from the stands since 2017, continued this habit after moving to Kocaeli as well. Karataş, who continued to go to matches regardless of his team's position in the league, this time experienced the excitement of the stands together with his children.
"IT WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT FOR ME"
Yaşar Karataş stated that his children's first encounter with the stadium atmosphere meant a lot to him. Karataş described his happiness with these words: "I have lived in Kocaeli for work since 2019. Even though I was alone in the away stand today, my children Ravzanur and Göktuğ Alp were with me. Their breathing in this stadium atmosphere for the first time and experiencing this excitement was an unforgettable moment for me."
