Pre-Match Celebrations for Republic Day

The Fenerbahce-Bodrum FK match saw special celebrations for Turkey’s Republic Day on October 29. Fans filled the stadium, waving Turkish flags and unveiling a large tribute poster of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Around the field, flags from all Turkish Republics were displayed, alongside a banner reading, “The Republic of Turkey Will Be Prosperous, Successful, and Victorious.” Both teams entered the pitch together, holding a banner saying, “Long Live the Republic.”

Player Notes

Irfan Can Kahveci returned to the starting XI after a seven-game absence, while Ismail Yüksek stepped in to replace the suspended Fred. Manager Jose Mourinho opted for a two-striker setup with Edin Dzeko and Youssef En-Nesyri, marking the return to a formation last seen nine games ago in a league match against Göztepe.

Honoring Martyrs

Before kickoff, a moment of silence honored those who lost their lives in a recent attack in Ankara. Fans broke into chants of “Martyrs never die, the homeland cannot be divided” following the observance.
