Adam, UK

Went to: Besiktas v Fenerbahce

OG is an absolutely great guy who went over and above to ensure we had the best time in Istanbul. He secured derby tickets for Besiktas v Fenerbahce and tickets for Galatasaray, and a third game in the second tier. Took total care of everything, even took me on a stadium tour of Fenerbahce and out for lunch. Great guy who cares about his guests from way before you even arrive in Istanbul!

Dan L, UK

Went to: Fenerbahce v Galatasaray

I experienced 3 matches in Istanbul in 3 days with host Arif who looked after me very well. I was primarily in Istanbul to witness the big derby between Fenerbahce v Galatasaray and the atmosphere and matchday experience did not disappoint. The game was not the best but that is football! I would recommend Arif as a host for any football match in the great city of Istanbul. I hope to be back soon!

Rens R, the Netherlands

Went to: Fenerbahce matchday experience

OG is a really nice guy, and most of all full of passion for Fenerbahçe. He takes care of you in all possible manners. I can’t recommend this experience enough!
