There are things in the Turkish people that go beyond rivalry or enmity. The Arabs have/had to learn this the hard way; you don't have a flag, an anthem or Atatürk, and you won't comprehend or have any of these.
And i am not buying an Arab's words, sorry for that. As far as i have read they have not permitted Anthem earlier but that was 'negotiated'. I can't accept that a Country's motto 'Yurtta sulh, Cihanda sulh' is interpreted as political figure.It is becoming a circus that people are saying the anthem was banned, they banned pictures and banners and uniforms depicting Atatürk and this is not a foreign policy issue, it is an internal political football.
While I disagree with this, Saudia Arabia has not allowed posters or pictures depicting leaders as a show of politics at their football stadiums previously as far as I can tell from a quick Google.
That this dives straight into Turkish/Arab emnity on social media is just telling me that there are problems at home. The two football teams must have known about this in advance, why play a Turkish cup abroad? Money.
This is just the drama of the week to distract from more important problems.

I haven't been able to find a source on the anthem thing. I think it's fiction because it sounds so unlikely. Banning an anthem?
This seems to be the crux of it. Stupid for hosting the game outside of TR, stupid for thinking the game wouldn't include politics, especially on the centennial.

Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe maçı iptal mi, ertelendi mi?
Fenerbahçe ve Galatasaray, Süper Kupa maçı öncesi İstiklal Marşımız'ın okunmaması ve Atatürk tişörtleri ile pankartlarına izin verilmemesi durumunda maça çıkmayacaklarını TFF'ye iletti.m.sporx.com
Here it is. Started with FB talking about posters and tshirts and followed by GS speaking about the anthem. Most of these are circulating unofficially, looking at the official announcements it was all 'technical'.
What purpose... Saudis are spending crazy money on all kinds of sporting events and on inviting media stars in the country as a strategy to promote themselves. The next 5 Turkish Super Cup matches were supposed to be played in Saudi Arabia and a contract worth 100$ million was signed about it.
The stupidest thing is that the big game between the two biggest teams in the country on the 100 years of the Republic should have been played in Turkey and not in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else abroad. Still I am happy that this all happened.![]()
