Fenerbahce's Vice Chairman, Erol Bilecik, announced on Wednesday that the club's U19 team will play in the upcoming Turkish Super Cup match. Additionally, Fenerbahce has decided not to participate in the Turkish Cup for the next two seasons.
Bilecik stated, "Starting from next season, we have decided to withdraw from the Turkish Cup for two seasons. We will submit all necessary requests to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) right after Eid al-Fitr."
He also mentioned that Fenerbahce has requested to postpone the Super Cup match, originally scheduled for April 7, to a later date. Furthermore, the club has asked for a foreign referee to oversee the game.
