The tribunes are on fire! This is a statement you might witness happening both literally or metaphorically in Istanbul football games. My name is Ogulcan and since I was a kid I have been experiencing football games in tribunes and thanks to its atmosphere it’s my personal heaven (sometimes hell :P). Over the last 15 years, I have been going to both the away and home games of my team Fenerbahçe. You will understand why it is such a big passion for us when you experience a game with me in the stands.
We’ll go to see a football game of Fenerbahçe SK together and experience how Fenerbahçe fans in Turkey live football. We will witness the passion, the customs, and the meaning of supporting a team in Istanbul. We’ll see the colorful fans, hear the sound of the drums, sing the songs, and hopefully taste a victory!
From the meeting point until the stadium, we will be doing what Fenerbahçe fans do. We will walk to places where they paint with club colors, have a beer or soda where they drink and hopefully, we will be singing their pre-game songs together with them.
Thanks to my experience with these games inside and outside of Turkey, I can guarantee you that I exactly know what a fan needs before, during, and after the game. I personally will be your guide during the whole experience. I will be next to you the whole game giving you hints for making your experience better. You don’t have to worry about tickets, logistics, security, or anything else: just enjoy the game! I will be providing a ticket and the information needed about that specific game we will attend to. So feel free to ask anything about the club, history, players, or football in general.
I will personally give away Fenerbahçe scarves to those who want the share the experience with me. I am a congress member of the club and this allows me to shop with a 10% discount in the club’s stores. So I will be helping you to use this discount if you would like to shop in the Fenerbahçe Store.
I have been a tourist guide in Istanbul for 5 years so I can help you with anything related to the city and transportation. After the game, I’ll give you instructions on how to easily return home safe and sound.
I will also let you know what colors to wear or not to wear to the game and will teach a couple of simple chants to learn beforehand
We shall sing together: YAŞA FENERBAHÇE!

We are a marketplace, which means we facilitate that travellers like yourself, take part in a sports experience offered by a fully-vetted local host who has enrolled on the platform.
The responsibility to carry out the activity relies exclusively on the local host. However, we as a marketplace act in the interests of everyone, supervising everything and facilitating communication and support when needed for a flawless experience.
Whilst the fixture calendar has been released, final confirmed dates are usually announced 2-3 weeks before the kick-off date, due to TV schedule. It is possible then, that Sunday matches will move to Saturday and vice-versa. The local hosts will keep you posted in case there is a change.
When you choose and pay for your an activity on the Homefans marketplace, you will receive a booking confirmation directly after the booking via email. In this confirmation, you will get all the details of your booking.
An activity on the Homefans marketplace involves a fully-vetted host, who offers a specific experience around a sporting event (match day experience with a ticket for the game) or some other cultural experiences (walking tours, stadium & museum tours with a local, among others).
They last between 2 hours up to a whole day. Please check the inclusions in each activity on the “What’s Included‘ section.
