‘T-shirt row’ causes Saudi Arabia-based Turkish Super Cup final to be postponed

• Galatasaray and Fenerbahce were set to play in Riyadh on Friday
• Tribute to founder of modern Turkey was reportedly rejected

The Turkish Super Cup final between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce scheduled to be played in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, on Friday was postponed over what the clubs have described as some problems" in the event's organisation.

At the heart of those issues, according to media reports, was the wish of the two teams to wear T-shirts featuring the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, during the warm-up before the evening kick-off.
