A crisis occurred before the 2023 Turkcell Super Cup match, planned to be played in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, due to the refusal to allow banners and t-shirts featuring Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of Turkish Republic.

Saudi authorities did not permit the display of Atatürk posters, the banner reading 'Peace at Home, Peace in the World', and Atatürk t-shirts before the Super Cup match.

Following this decision, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe decided not to participate in the match. The scheduled game between the two teams was subsequently canceled.

In response to the cancellation of the match, Geert Wilders, the leader of the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands, also reacted.

In his statement, Wilders shared, "Atatürk 10-0 Saudi Arabia."
