Ogulcan is een gepassioneerde fan die ons goed heeft begeleid. Hij weet exact de goede plekjes te vinden, vertelt graag over zijn club en heeft ook antwoord op alle vragen. Mooie belevenis tussen de ultra's. Op een andere manier kom hè gewoon niet aan kaarten, dus dit is echt een aanrader!

Ogulcan is the best! We contacted, he made a group and wrote all the rules and the plan. We met at the bar and he told everything about football in Turkey in clear English. At the stadium we had very good seats and the atmosphere was amazing! Thank you for this unforgettable experience! If you are planning to go to Istanbul and watch football, Ogulcan is the best guy you can find.

Yesterday I got to experience a Galatasaray game it was an incredible experience and Arif was an amazing host and he taught us a lot of the chants and some amazing stuff about the team. Anytime you’re in Istanbul go to a Galatasaray game with Arif he’s the guy !!

Visited the game between Fenerbahce Vs Kocaelispor 23.08.2025. I was a little apprehensive due to the reputation of Turkish fans with English fans. However I did not need to worry! An excellent opportunity to appreciate another countries football culture! Ogi was an excellent communicator and was an excellent guide to fully appreciate a true match day experience as a Fenerbahce fan. It also helps he was a top bloke. He reached out a couple of days before to sort out the Passolig registration. On the day the meeting point, pregame drinks/discussion and pick up of the tickets went seamlessly. His English was excellent as well so I was able to easily communicate with him. Overall a fantastic experience, can't recommend highly enough!
