In a dramatic turn of events during the Turkish Super Cup final, Fenerbahce decided to field their under-19 squad against Galatasaray as a form of protest against the Turkish Football Federation, following serious security incidents that occurred against Trabzonspor. The decision led to an unprecedented scenario where, after conceding a goal within the first 50 seconds of the game, the Fenerbahce U19 team walked off the pitch, effectively forfeiting the match to Galatasaray. This act of protest is seen as a statement against perceived injustices in the management of Turkish football, particularly in light of recent fan violence. Galatasaray won the match.
