At its next home game in the Europa League, Besiktas Istanbul will have to do without the support of its fans, who have already impressed many an opponent with their notorious loudness in their home stadium. It is not a mistake on the part of the traditional Turkish club that is why the match on November 28th is being postponed. The reason is politics, or rather the political charge of the game and the threat of violence from supporters. Besiktas’ opponent is Maccabi Tel Aviv.
