What we will do in this experience

Hi there, My name is Rafi and I’ve been a Fenerbahçe fan since the day I was born. I’m excited to take you on a journey where we’ll explore iconic fan spots, dive into Fenerbahçe culture and history, and chant together to help our team secure those crucial 3 points. By the end of our time together, I hope you’ll share my passion for Fenerbahçe.

Our tour will begin a few hours before kick-off, as we explore Kadıköy, the home of Fenerbahçe. We’ll visit the pubs where fans gather for a pregame drink, then move on to Yoğurtçu Parkı to warm up with some pregame chants. About an hour before the game, we’ll head to our seats in the short side of the stadium, soaking in the pregame rituals. When the whistle blows, we’ll embark on 90 minutes of non-stop chanting, and hopefully, celebrate the victory with a traditional post-game soup.

Navigating a matchday can be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the process, and that’s where I come in. Until I moved to the United States for college, I never missed a home game, so I know all the shortcuts and insider tips. Every spot we visit has a story, and every step of the way, you’ll feel like one of us. My goal isn’t just to take you to a game—it’s to welcome you to our Fenerbahçe family.

DISCLAIMER: Some match dates have not been officially confirmed yet. For now, they are tentatively scheduled based on the weekend they are expected to take place. Matches will occur on the same weekend, with a high probability of being played on Saturday or Sunday, and a low probability of being scheduled for Friday or Monday.

Regarding Istanbul Derbies and UEFA Europa League matches in Istanbul:
The prices listed are based on the assumption that the host can secure tickets through general public sales. Due to high demand or possible issues with the Passolig system, the host may not be able to obtain tickets for these games. Because of significant price differences in the Turkish market, tickets for these matches cannot be sourced through alternative channels.
If the host is unable to purchase tickets via general sale, the experience will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund.

    Rafi was a superb host, from the initial contact explaining the process to get the tickets and then doing all the admin for it. On the day of the game he took us for an unforgettable pre match experience with drinks, street food all while soaking up the pre match atmosphere with the Fenerbahce fans. A football bucket list game and id highly recommend it with Rafi.

    Fenerbahçe S.K. vs Bellona Kayserispor - Trendyol Süper Lig Quite possibly the best match day experience I have ever had, the atmosphere is like no other, It is electric from the moment you arrive in the Kadıköy District, the streets, bars, parks and restaurants are packed with families, ultras, supporters and tourists, the colours are vibrant, everyone is in great voice ready for the game. Our guide and friend, Rafi is a true Gent, his knowledge of the club and the area is out of this world, he is polite, very welcoming and happy, Rafi bleeds Fenerbahçe, he is true to the team and the community the football club serves, I would happily recommend a meet up and tour with Rafi to see the mighty Fenerbahçe S.K play, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Rafi for making this an unforgettable experience, we will see you again. Best Wishes Simon and Karen Horbury UK

    Rafi is an amazing host. He reached out in advance and asked questions in order to curate the matchday experience to my liking. He is knowledgeable, fun and passionate about his team. He took care of every detail during the day. Not only we enjoyed a great game with amazing atmosphere but also enjoyed pre game with some local food, exploring and post game with a traditional dinner. Highly recommended to have Rafi as your host - you won’t be disappointed!

    I can recommend Rafi. He made the trip successful and provided memories to last a lifetime. From early contact long before departure with Passo user registration, to travel tips in Istanbul, resulted in a well-prepared plan on match day. Rafi was very interested in me influencing the day and what activities we were going to do. For those who want to experience real Fenerbache culture starting with local beer in Kadiköy, continuing with pyro and singing in Yoğurtçu park followed by an intense match experience in the stadium, I can highly recommend Rafi.

    Rafi is a great host! Hes a very knowledgable and friendly guy. He takes care of setting up the whole experience for you, gives you a tour of the surrounding areas and neighborhoods, which is in an area most tourists do not venture to. We got local street food before the game. The seats we got where in the supporters section behind the goal. Sidenote: really good hotdogs at the fenerbahce stadium. the fans were really great pre game

    I had a great day with Rafi before a Fenerbahce-Galatasaray derby. Before the game day Rafi made sure everything was in order, got the ticket and the Passolig card sorted, and was in touch to ask about my preferences for the match day. We met up 6 hours before the game, got our tickets without any issues, strolled the surrounding neighborhood, got something to eat and drink, and Rafi took us meet up with the local fans getting into game mode with songs, fireworks and beers. All the time with Rafi telling stories and answering questions about the club. The atmosphere around the stadium and before kick-off was incredible. Really something special and worth experiencing. Rafi's English is excellent and he's knowledgeable, responsive and very helpful. He even sacrificed his own ticket so we could go to the game. I highly recommend the experience and the guide.
