Hi, my name is Ogulcan_Y

Localhost since Sep 11, 2020

About

Hey! My name is Ogulcan(OG shortly). I am a passionate sports fan. I have been to over 100 national and international stadiums all around the world. I have seen major football tournaments like Euro 2016 in France and many away games from Portugal to Georgia.

Since I was born in Kadıköy(hometown of Fenerbahçe Sports Club), Istanbul I am a big fan of Fenerbahçe Sports Club. It is my 17th consecutive season in Fenerbahçe Football stadium with a combined ticket. I am a big follower of both the basketball and football branches of Fenerbahçe. I followed my football team all over Europe for the football games in UEFA tournaments and I have been supporting my basketball team in Euroleague Final Four events located in Berlin, Istanbul, and Belgrade.

I enjoy a lot introducing my team to guests from all around the world and showing them how we live football in Turkey.

I would like to say that Ogulcan was the perfect host for my recent trip to Istanbul for the Europa League games in January. He was very knowledgeable and took us to some great bars to drink with the fans pregame, he had some great stories to tell us and guided us to the correct entrance as I purchased upgraded seats which were also great. I would definitely recommend visiting Istanbul and letting Ogulcan take you around as he makes you feel safe and relaxed going to the games

Ogulcan made everything so smooth and organized for our gameday experience. The passolig/security/ticketing system is super complicated so we paid for the tour to cut through the red tape. What we didn't expect was such a passionate and gracious host who connected the game to history, politics, religion, and international relations. We are Fenerbahce fans for life! OG made everything so simple when it could have been anything but that if we had tried to go it alone.

It was the first time that I had the opportunity to watch football in Turkey and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Both hosts did their best to add something extra to the games and they succeeded in doing that. Especially Ogulcan surprised us by giving a presentation on Turkish football in general and specifically on his favourite club Fenerbahce. He told us how football was touching his personal life and those were hilarious stories. The tickets for the games were well organized via the Pasolig system, which you have to apply within the Turkish system. The atmosphere within the stadiums were on a high standard. The noise sometimes was deafening. All in all football in Turkey is recommended for every football fan.

Had two fantastic nights with OG at Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. I have seen football all over the world and Istanbul is a unique experience with amazing fans and atmosphere both inside the stadiums and in the bars we were taken to before the game. OG was a great host, very well organised and communicated throughout and sorted everything with the complicated registration/ID system you need to navigate to buy tickets for football in Turkey. Would recommend very highly for anyone wanting to watch football in Istanbul..

There was a unique opportunity for me to see Galatasaray Tuesday, Besiktas Wednesday and Fenerbahce Thursday all on consecutive nights in the Europa League. Ogulcan took the stress out of getting both tickets and Passolig cards for all three matches with superb organisation and communication. Not only that he made sure we had the best pre match experience with drinks, free club scarves, and seeing how the local fans come together on game day. He also made the group all laugh with his stories about Turkish football and his personal life which made it a personal experience. The atmospheres at the ground in Turkey need to be seen to be believed and Ogulcan was superb in making sure everyone got to their seat and got the chance to experience the atmospheres. Would thoroughly recommend.
