I will be traveling to Istanbul with a group of students in April 2014 and I think they would be very interested in attending a football (soccer) game. Can anyone tell me where I might find a schedule of games and where they would be held?

The following site has the most complete information. However, you need to be a bit of a puzzle solver because it is all in Turkish.

http://www.mackolik.com/Puan-Durumu/...Toto-Super-Lig

Fikstur = schedule

Site also gives cup (kupa) games (select in parentheses on top left)

Fenerbahce matches are usually the most fun to watch followed by Galatasaray and then Besiktas because of the size, quality and actions of supporters.

Fenerbahce matches are easiest for transport. Ferry to Kadikoy (from Eminonu, Kabatas or Besiktas) and then a 15 minute walk.

Tickets go on sale only a few days before the game. You need to be on the look out because they are sold out quickly, in a few hours sometimes.

For tickets, check www.biletix.com

Easiest matches for tickets are Kasimpasa team matches (unless they are playing against any of the big teams) with stadium close to Pera Palas.

I meant "top right" for cup games. Sorry.

Thanks for the info otherchelibi. I will see if I can figure out when and where we can find a game!!!

Go to Leagues and Spor Toto Super League and the April matches are weeks 28-31.
