Turkish SuperCup in Saudi Arabia Postponed Over 'Political Slogans'
The Turkish SuperCup in Riyadh between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce scheduled Friday was postponed at the last minute after Saudi organisers refused to allow players to wear jerseys bearing "political slogans". "The match has been cancelled. The match will not take place," announced the commentator on the Saudi sports television channel SSC. According to Turkish media, both teams wanted to warm up wearing shirts bearing the image of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern-day Turkey, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the republic.
