Football is a portion of food for your soul in Turkey. And football’s heart is beating mostly in Istanbul. There are 8 different Istanbul teams in the Turkish League now and all of them have different stories and football cultures. We will discover their differences and their amazing stadiums.

This event contains 7 different Istanbul teams’ home game matchday tours: Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, Başakşehir, Kasımpaşa, F.Karagümrük, Pendikspor and İstanbulspor.

Some stadiums are at the center of the city but some are far. When it is needed for a ride to the stadium outskirts of Istanbul, I will personally drive us all together there 🙂

We will gather where the fans gather before the game. Warm-up and drink up together with them and listen to some chants. We will enjoy the game and hope to have a good challenging game with multiple goals!

To be able to enter a sports event in Turkey you are going to have to have an ID card called Pasolig. I will handle this and the tickets for you. All Pasolig progress and tickets are included in the price you pay for the tour. The only thing you need to do is send me the personal info that I asked from you for your registration 🙂

I was born and raised in Istanbul. I have been going to football games in and out of the city for the last 20 years. Thanks to my experience with these games, 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 clubs, history, players, or football in general.

Warnings:

*even though smoking in stadiums is forbidden this law does not apply and there is heavy smoking and secondhand smoke in all seats of the stadium

*seats are behind the goal and we stand during the entire match

*it might get very loud in the stadium please bring earmuffs if you think it would disturb you.

*Galatasaray matchday experiences only include prematch + pasolig registration + ticket + assistance until stadium gates. Since i have a Fenerbahce Passolig card assigned to my national ID, i cannot enter Galatasaray matches as Galatasaray fan due Pasolig rules and regulations.

*For Istanbul Derbies between the big three ticket rules and regulations changed harshly in order to fight the black market. This means finding tickets for these games(FBvsBJK, FBvsGS, GSvsBJK) is hard and risky. So your reservation could be canceled and you can get a refund in cases in which I cannot find tickets.
