The Road to the Final and Match Details The champion of the 19th Turkcell Super Cup, organized by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), is about to be determined.
In the newly implemented four-team tournament format, Galatasaray reached the final by defeating Trabzonspor 4-1 in the semi-finals, while Fenerbahçe secured their spot with a 2-0 victory over Samsunspor.
The highly anticipated derby will take place at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
Eighth Meeting in Cup History The two teams will face each other for the eighth time in the history of the competition, which has previously been held under the names Presidential Cup and Head of State Cup.
Galatasaray holds the statistical advantage in their past encounters.
In the three matches played under the Presidential Cup format, Fenerbahçe won twice and Galatasaray once.
However, in the four matches held under the Super Cup title, Galatasaray has claimed the trophy three times compared to Fenerbahçe's single victory.
Following the Controversial Final in Şanlıurfa The most recent Super Cup clash between the two sides occurred on April 7, 2024, in Şanlıurfa.
In that match, Galatasaray took a 1-0 lead in the first minute with a goal from Mauro Icardi.
Fenerbahçe, who had fielded their under-19 team, subsequently withdrew from the pitch, causing the match to be abandoned.
The TFF later declared Galatasaray the winners by a 3-0 forfeit, awarding them the trophy.
Galatasaray: The Most Successful Team in the Competition Galatasaray stands as the most successful club in Super Cup history, having won the title seven times in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2024.
Fenerbahçe has lifted the trophy three times, in 2007, 2009, and 2014.
Other winners include Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor with three titles each, while Konyaspor and Akhisarspor have each won the competition once.
The Cup's Geographical Journey The Super Cup has a history of international venues, with its first three editions held in Germany (Frankfurt, Cologne, and Duisburg) and the 2020-2021 season final played in Doha, Qatar.
Within Turkey, the final has been hosted by various cities, including Istanbul, Konya, Ankara, Erzurum, Kayseri, Manisa, Samsun, and Şanlıurfa.
