Buy Trabzonspor tickets for the 2026/27 Season and watch the Black Sea Storm at Papara Park, the 40,980-seat stadium on the coast at Akyazı. Founded in 1967, Trabzonspor were the first club from outside Istanbul to win the Turkish league, and they have now been champions seven times, most recently in 2021/22. The club enters the season as holders of a tenth Turkish Cup and with Mohamed Salah in claret and blue after his move from Liverpool in August 2026.

Matches against Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş are among the most intense fixtures in Turkish football, and Trabzonspor's European campaign brings continental opponents to the Black Sea coast. This guide explains how pricing works at Papara Park, which stands suit which supporters, how tickets are sold in Turkey and what to expect on matchday, so you can choose your seats with confidence.
Every Süper Lig ticket is sold digitally and linked to a registered fan card, so supporters need an account before they can buy. Club sales typically open only a few days before each match. For the February 2026 home match against Fenerbahçe, tickets went on sale at 13:00 on the Monday before a Saturday kick-off. Sales run through the club's ticketing partner, Passo, via its mobile app and website, with ticket offices at Papara Park open in some match weeks.
That short window is the main challenge for visitors. A supporter flying in from Istanbul, Europe or the Gulf usually needs to book flights and hotels long before the club announces its sale, and the most popular sections for the big fixtures can go quickly once sales open. Foreign supporters can register for a fan card with a passport, but the registration has to be completed before buying, and tickets must match the club logo on the card.
A verified marketplace gives those buyers another route. Listings on 1BoxOffice show the stand, price and delivery method before you pay, along with any conditions attached to the ticket. Because Turkish match tickets are linked to the holder's fan card, read each listing's notes carefully so you know exactly how your ticket will be issued and what you need for entry.
1BoxOffice has been connecting football supporters with tickets since 2006, with a model built around buyer protection. Every listing comes from a vetted seller, every payment is encrypted and every order can be followed from purchase to delivery.
For a club with one of the largest followings outside Istanbul, and a new wave of international interest since Salah's arrival, that structure removes the guesswork. You see the price, stand and delivery terms before committing, and support is available in English and Arabic if anything changes before matchday. That matters for supporters travelling from Egypt and the wider Arab world to see Salah in Trabzon.
Trabzonspor have one of the largest fan bases in Turkey outside the three Istanbul giants, and Papara Park is built to hold them. With 40,980 seats in two tiers, the stadium has room for most league fixtures, but a handful of matches each season fill the bowl and push prices sharply upwards. The record crowd, 40,368, was set on 1 April 2025 for a UEFA Youth League quarter-final against Inter, when the club's under-19 side won 1-0. If a youth match can draw more than 40,000, it gives a sense of how the city responds to a big occasion.
The factors below explain which fixtures are tightest.
The practical lesson is that timing matters most for Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and the European fixtures. For a league match against a mid-table side, listings typically remain available for longer and prices are far more forgiving.
Trabzonspor set prices per fixture and per stand, with high-demand matches priced far above standard league games. For the February 2026 home match against Fenerbahçe, club prices ranged from 1,750 Turkish lira behind the goals to 20,000 lira in the VIP Platinum B category. At current exchange rates that is roughly £27 to £303. For the August 2026 Europa League play-off against Ferencváros, prices ran from 1,500 lira behind the goals to 25,000 lira in VIP Platinum B, around £23 to £379.
The general admission stands sit well below the VIP categories. For the Fenerbahçe match, the west stand cost 4,250 lira, the east stand 3,750 lira and the Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi Stand 2,250 lira, roughly £64, £57 and £34. For the Ferencváros match, the same stands cost 4,000, 3,000 and 2,000 lira. Turkish prices move quickly with inflation, so treat these figures as a guide to relative prices rather than fixed amounts.
Three factors move the price most. The first is the opponent, with Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş in a different bracket from the rest of the league. The second is the stand, with the VIP categories on the west side priced several times higher than the ends. The third is timing, as resale prices for big matches can rise as kick-off approaches and the lower-priced sections sell out.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Behind the goals (south and north stands) | £23 – £27 |
| Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi Stand | £30 – £34 |
| East stand | £45 – £57 |
| West stand | £61 – £64 |
| VIP Silver | Around £151 |
| VIP Gold and VIP Bordo | £189 – £227 |
| VIP Platinum | £227 – £379 |
| Resale for high-demand fixtures | Typically above face value once the lower-priced stands sell out |
Prices reflect club face values for high-demand fixtures in 2026 and may change as demand and availability shift. Standard league fixtures are usually priced below these levels.
Not through club channels. Every Süper Lig ticket must be linked to a registered fan card, the Passo Taraftar Kart that replaced the old Passolig card, and one card cannot admit more than one person. Foreign supporters can register by choosing the foreign passport option, entering their passport details and uploading a clear passport photo. The process must be completed before buying, and tickets for home and away sections must match the club logo on the card.
Club sales are made through Passo's app and website, and the Papara Park ticket offices may open in match week, but the fan card requirement still applies at the turnstile. For a supporter who has never attended a match in Turkey, that is a significant extra step, particularly when travelling for a single fixture or for a European night.
A marketplace removes the need to time a release. You choose the fixture, compare listings by stand and price and pay in GBP through secure, encrypted payment. Each listing states how the ticket will be issued and what you need for entry, so confirm those details carefully before you complete your order.
Season tickets in Turkey are known as kombine, and they are linked to the holder's fan card in the same way as single tickets. For 2026/27, Trabzonspor's kombine prices start at 15,000 lira and rise to 275,000 lira for the top category, roughly £227 to £4,165 at current exchange rates. Club president Ertuğrul Doğan made a public appeal to supporters in April 2026 to back the club through kombine sales, a sign of how central season ticket holders are to the club's finances.
A large kombine base means fewer single tickets for high-demand fixtures, because season ticket holders take their seats in the home stands before a general sale opens. The products below explain how tickets are sold, from the fan card every supporter needs to the premium VIP categories. Prices are set by the club each season, so treat the table as a guide to the structure rather than a fixed price list.
| Product | What It Covers | How It Works | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fan card (Passo Taraftar Kart) | Required for every Süper Lig ticket | Registered in the holder's name; foreign fans can register with a passport | Must be completed before buying |
| Kombine (season ticket) | Home Süper Lig matches across the season | Linked to the holder's fan card | Sold before the season, from 15,000 lira |
| Single match ticket | One home fixture | Sold digitally in the days before the match | Limited for the Istanbul clubs and European nights |
| VIP categories | Premium seating on the west side | Sold per match in Silver, Gold, Bordo and Platinum tiers | Limited numbers |
| Resale listing | Any fixture with seller availability | Set by the seller | Issue method shown on each listing |
Papara Park is a football-only stadium with two tiers of seating close to the pitch. Supporters sit about 8.5 metres from the touchline along the sides and about 10 metres from the goal lines behind each end, so there is no running track between the crowd and the players. Every seat is numbered, and the stands are arranged around four sides: the west stand along the main side, the east stand opposite and stands behind the south and north goals.
The west stand is the main stand and holds most of the hospitality and banqueting areas. It is also the smallest of the four in capacity. The VIP categories are concentrated here, priced in Silver, Gold, Bordo and Platinum tiers, with Platinum B at the top. The east stand offers sideline views at a lower price. Behind the goals, the south and north ends are the most affordable sections and home to the most vocal supporters. Club price lists also include the Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi Stand as a separate category, priced between the ends and the east stand.
Segregation is strict. Home and away tickets must match the club logo on the holder's fan card, so supporters of a visiting club cannot simply buy a seat in a home stand, and stewards may refuse entry to anyone in the wrong section. If you are a neutral or travelling with supporters of both clubs, read the listing notes carefully before you buy.
| Stand | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batı (west stand) | Central views from the main side | Upper | Home to the VIP categories and most hospitality areas |
| VIP Platinum, Gold, Bordo and Silver | Comfort and premium facilities | Premium | The highest-priced seats in the stadium |
| Doğu (east stand) | Sideline views at a lower price | Mid | Opposite the main stand |
| Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi Stand | Value with a good view | Lower to mid | Priced between the ends and the east stand |
| Güney and Kuzey (south and north ends) | Atmosphere and value | Lower | Behind the goals, home to the most vocal supporters |
| Away section | Visiting supporters | Set per fixture | Allocations depend on local authorities and can be withheld |
Trabzon sits on Turkey's north-eastern coast, so most away trips mean long journeys. Matches in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya are usually reached by air, while fixtures along the Black Sea coast can be made by road. The trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe or Beşiktaş is the highlight of the away calendar, and the large Trabzon community in Istanbul means there is strong demand for every seat in the away end.
Away sections in Turkey are allocated to visiting supporters, and tickets must be bought with a fan card carrying the visiting club's logo. Authorities can restrict or close away sections for high-risk matches, and for the Fenerbahçe fixture at Papara Park in February 2026, no away section had been announced when tickets went on sale. The same rule works in reverse for Trabzonspor supporters, so confirm whether an away allocation is available before booking travel.
| Topic | What to Know |
|---|---|
| Domestic away allocation | Sold to holders of fan cards carrying the visiting club's logo |
| Istanbul away trips | The most popular away days; allocations at the big clubs are small compared with demand |
| Access requirements | Fan card, photo ID and a ticket that matches your card |
| Restrictions | Away sections can be restricted or withheld for high-risk fixtures |
| European away trips | Allocations are set by the host club and sold under that club's rules |
| Travel from Trabzon | Flights from Trabzon Airport to Istanbul and Ankara; road travel along the Black Sea coast |
Families, groups of friends and corporate guests want different things from a match. The table below matches common priorities with the stand that suits them. Use it as a starting point, then read each listing's notes for the exact section and any restrictions.
Groups should also think about sitting together. Pairs are easy to find for most fixtures, while larger blocks become scarcer for Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and the European nights. If staying together matters more than the exact stand, widen your search to the upper tier or the east stand.
| Priority | Ideal Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | South or north end | Home to the most vocal supporters behind the goals |
| View | West or east stand, central blocks | Sideline views close to the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | East stand, upper tier | Calmer seating with a full view of the pitch |
| Premium experience | VIP categories or a private box | Central seating and hospitality on the west side |
| Lower-priced option | South or north end at standard league fixtures | The lowest face values in the stadium |
Papara Park, formally the Şenol Güneş Sports Complex, was inaugurated on 18 December 2016 after construction that began on 24 November 2013. Trabzonspor played their first match there on 29 January 2017, a win over Gaziantepspor. The stadium is named after Şenol Güneş, the club's former goalkeeper and five-time head coach, while the Papara Park title is a sponsorship name. It was previously known as Medical Park Arena and then Medical Park Stadium, before taking its current sponsored name in 2022.
The ground sits at Akyazı, on the coast road west of Trabzon city centre. It was designed by the German firm ASP Architekten with Turkish architect Faruk Kanca. The roof is its signature: a sharp, angular structure of triangular membrane panels on a lightweight steel frame, white on the outside and accented in the club's claret and blue. Inside, the stands rise in two tiers and the top row sits at roughly the height of a five-storey building.
The complex was built for more than football. It includes 122 private boxes, more than 1,400 parking spaces, 438 of them covered, a separate amateur pitch, a 3,500-seat indoor sports hall and tennis courts. The stadium has also hosted the Turkey national team for selected matches.
The move ended a long chapter at Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium in the city centre. Opened in 1951 with a capacity of just 2,400, the old ground was expanded over the decades, with a major redevelopment in 1981 and floodlights added in 1994, eventually holding 24,169. It was the stage for all six of Trabzonspor's league titles between 1976 and 1984, and for the European Cup win over Liverpool in 1976. Trabzonspor played there for the final time in January 2017, and the stadium was demolished in 2018.
Getting to Papara Park takes some planning, as the stadium sits outside the centre along the coast. Taxis and private transfers are the simplest option for most visitors. Plans to connect the stadium to the city centre by tram were announced in 2022, so confirm current public transport options before matchday. Allow extra time before evening kick-offs against the Istanbul clubs, when traffic on the coast road builds well in advance.
Trabzon itself rewards a longer stay. The city is one of the largest ports on Turkey's Black Sea coast and was a stop on the Silk Road, and its people are known across the country for their love of hamsi, the Black Sea anchovy. The 13th-century Hagia Sophia of Trabzon sits near the coast, and the Sümela Monastery, built into a cliff face in the mountains south of the city, is one of the most visited sites in the region. Uzungöl, a lake village in the mountains to the south-east, is a popular day trip for visitors combining football with a few days on the coast.
Premium seating at Papara Park is concentrated on the west side, where most of the hospitality and banqueting facilities are located. The VIP categories are sold per match in four tiers. For the February 2026 home match against Fenerbahçe, VIP Silver cost 10,000 lira, VIP Gold 12,500 lira, VIP Platinum A and C 15,000 lira and VIP Platinum B 20,000 lira at face value, roughly £151, £189, £227 and £303. For the Ferencváros play-off in August 2026, VIP Gold and VIP Bordo were 15,000 lira and VIP Platinum B 25,000 lira.
The stadium's 122 private boxes provide private viewing for corporate guests and groups. Inclusions vary by fixture and category, so read the listing notes on any premium ticket for the exact inclusions and arrival times. For the Istanbul clubs and European nights, the VIP Platinum categories are among the first premium seats to sell.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| VIP Silver | Entry-level VIP seating on the west side | Around £151 for high-demand fixtures |
| VIP Gold and VIP Bordo | Mid-tier VIP seating | £189 – £227 for high-demand fixtures |
| VIP Platinum A and C | Premium central seating | Around £227 for high-demand fixtures |
| VIP Platinum B | The top VIP category | £303 – £379 for high-demand fixtures |
| Private boxes | Private viewing for groups and corporate guests | Set by the club per fixture |
Buying through 1BoxOffice takes a few minutes, and every step shows you what you are paying for before you commit. Here is how an order works from first search to matchday.
Step1
Find your fixture
Open the Trabzonspor listings and choose the match you want, whether it is a home Süper Lig fixture, a European night at Papara Park or an away trip. Confirm the date, competition and stadium before going further.
Step2
Create an account or log in
Use 1BoxOffice register to set up your account in a minute, or log in if you have bought before. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport or ID, as Turkish tickets are linked to the holder.
Step3
Select your seats
Compare listings by stand, price and the number of seats available together. Read the listing notes for the issue method, fan card requirements and whether the seats are in the home or away section.
Step4
Review your order
Confirm the fixture, quantity, stand and total price, including any fees, before moving to payment. This is the moment to make sure the date and kick-off time match your travel plans.
Step5
Complete secure payment
Pay through the encrypted payment process. Your order is protected by the 150% money-back guarantee, so if your tickets do not arrive and no suitable alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund.
Step6
Follow your delivery
Use track order to follow your purchase until the tickets reach you. Tickets for matches in Turkey are often issued close to matchday.
Once your order is confirmed, keep your confirmation email, account details and photo ID together. Süper Lig kick-off times are confirmed in blocks during the season, and European kick-offs are fixed by UEFA, so allow some flexibility when booking travel.
These are the fixture types where listings typically thin out fastest at Papara Park, and where buying early gives you the widest choice of seats together. Because club sales open only days before kick-off, resale listings are often the only option for supporters who need to plan further ahead. The lower-priced ends behind the goals are usually the first sections to go for these matches.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Fenerbahçe at home | The club's fiercest rivalry and the highest face values of the season |
| Galatasaray at home | The 2025/26 Süper Lig champions and the Turkish Cup final opponents in 2025 |
| Beşiktaş at home | An Istanbul giant with a national following |
| European nights | Continental opponents and a full stadium under the floodlights |
| Çaykur Rizespor at home | The Eastern Black Sea derby against the neighbouring province |
| Turkish Cup knockout ties | One-off dates for the holders, with a quarter-final or semi-final place at stake |
Delivery depends on the fixture and how the ticket is issued. Every listing states its delivery type, so review it before buying.
Süper Lig tickets are linked to a registered fan card rather than issued as standalone tickets, and tickets cannot be assigned to accounts created under the child application option. Follow the instructions in the listing notes on how your ticket will be issued, and make sure the name on your order matches your passport or ID.
Entry procedures at Turkish stadiums are strict, particularly for high-profile matches. A little preparation keeps the walk from turnstile to seat simple.
Aim to arrive at least an hour before kick-off for standard matches and earlier for the Istanbul clubs and European nights, when security queues and traffic on the coast road are heaviest. The stadium's location outside the city centre means the journey itself can take longer than expected.
Allow extra time at the turnstiles if this is your first match in Turkey, as fan card verification can take longer for visitors. Every supporter needs their own valid fan card or ticket and a photo ID, such as a passport, with details matching the ticket. One card cannot be used to admit more than one person. Home and away sections are strictly segregated, and supporters may be refused entry if their ticket does not match the section.
Bring as little as possible. Large bags are typically refused, and there is no guarantee of storage near the stadium. Flares, pyrotechnics, glass, coins, lighters and banners without approval are generally prohibited at Turkish grounds, and searches are a condition of entry.

Trabzonspor's story is one of a provincial club that broke Istanbul's grip on Turkish football, then spent almost four decades trying to do it again. The eras below trace the club from its founding to the present day.
The club was born out of a local rivalry. In 1965, the Turkish football authorities ruled that each province should field one main club, but Trabzon's two leading sides, İdmanocağı and İdmangücü, refused to merge. Only the threat of a ban for both brought them together, and Trabzonspor was formed in August 1967. Even the colours took negotiation: it took five separate meetings to settle on claret and light blue. Under coach Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı, who took charge in 1973, the new club won promotion and became champions within three seasons, the first club from outside Istanbul to win the Turkish league.
For eight seasons, Trabzonspor were the dominant force in Turkish football. Özyazıcı and Özkan Sümer shared the management of a side built around goalkeeper Şenol Güneş, Turgay Semercioğlu, Necati Özçağlayan, Hüseyin Tok, Ali Kemal Denizci and Necmi Perekli, who in 1976/77 became the first Trabzonspor player to finish as the league's top scorer, with 18 goals. Six league titles came in nine seasons, along with Turkish Cups in 1977, 1978 and 1984 and a run of Super Cups. In Europe, the 1-0 win over Liverpool at Hüseyin Avni Aker in the 1976/77 European Cup, against the side that would go on to win the trophy that season, remains one of the great nights in the club's history, even though Liverpool won the return leg 3-0. Güneş's run of 1,110 minutes without conceding, from September 1978 to February 1979, is still a reference point for goalkeepers in Turkey.
After 1984, the league title became elusive, but Trabzonspor stayed among Turkey's leading clubs. Hami Mandıralı, the club's all-time leading scorer, drove the cup wins of 1992 and 1995, and through the 1990s the side never finished lower than fourth. The 1995/96 season, when Trabzonspor stayed in contention until the closing weeks before Fenerbahçe took the title, became a wound that the city carried for decades. After a near relegation in 2001/02, the club bounced back immediately with consecutive Turkish Cups in 2003 and 2004, with Fatih Tekke as captain. His 31 league goals in 2004/05 made him the Süper Lig's top scorer by a margin of seven.
The 2010/11 season is the most debated in the club's history. Trabzonspor led by nine points at the halfway stage, but Fenerbahçe won all but one of their remaining league games, and the two clubs finished level on 82 points, with Fenerbahçe taking the title on goal difference. The season was then engulfed by the 2011 Turkish match-fixing scandal. Fenerbahçe were withdrawn from the following season's Champions League, and UEFA placed Trabzonspor in the group stage in their place. In their first group match, Trabzonspor beat Inter 1-0 at San Siro through a 76th-minute goal from Czech defender Ondřej Čelůstka, and finished third in the group with seven points. The 2010/11 title itself was never reassigned, and the dispute still shapes the rivalry today. A Turkish Cup and Super Cup double followed in 2020.
Under Abdullah Avcı, Trabzonspor finally ended the wait in 2021/22. The title was sealed on 30 April 2022 with a 2-2 draw against Antalyaspor at Papara Park, with three games to spare and a nine-point lead over Fenerbahçe. Andreas Cornelius scored in the third minute, goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır saved a penalty and fans invaded the pitch before the final whistle, with celebrations spreading from Atatürk Square in Trabzon to the Trabzon community in Istanbul. Abdülkadir Ömür called it a life-long dream. The years since have brought reaching Turkish Cup finals in 2024 and 2025, a third-place league finish in 2025/26 and, in May 2026, the Turkish Cup itself under Fatih Tekke, the former club captain. The arrival of Salah in August 2026, unveiled in front of thousands of fans at Papara Park, marked one of the most high-profile signings in Turkish football. After Tekke left in September 2026, the club appointed German coach Thomas Reis, who had previously worked in the Süper Lig and joined from Ludogorets on a two-year contract.
These are the figures whose contributions define Trabzonspor's history, from the golden era of the 1970s to the title of 2022.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı | Head coach | Took the club to the top flight in 1973 and to the title three seasons later, breaking Istanbul's monopoly. He later returned as a football advisor. | First league title in 1975/76 |
| Şenol Güneş | Goalkeeper and head coach | The goalkeeper of the golden era, with 31 Turkey caps, he later managed the club in five spells. The stadium is named after him. | 1,110 minutes without conceding in 1978/79 |
| Necmi Perekli | Forward | A key forward of the golden era and the first Trabzonspor player to finish as the league's top scorer. | 18 league goals in 1976/77 |
| Hami Mandıralı | Forward | The club's all-time leading scorer, who came through the youth ranks and drove the cup wins of the 1990s. He later coached the first team. | 218 goals in 416 matches |
| Fatih Tekke | Forward and head coach | Captained the cup-winning sides of 2003 and 2004 and later returned as head coach to win the Turkish Cup. | 31 league goals in 2004/05; Turkish Cup in 2026 |
| Abdullah Avcı | Head coach | Built the side that ended the 38-year wait for the league title, sealed with three games to spare. | Süper Lig champions in 2021/22 |
| Paul Onuachu | Forward | The Nigerian striker shared the Süper Lig golden boot in the season the club won its tenth Turkish Cup. | 22 league goals in 2025/26 |
Trabzonspor's honours make them one of the four most successful clubs in Turkey and by some distance the most successful outside Istanbul. Counts below are cross-referenced against club records and independent sources.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Süper Lig | 7 (1975/76, 1976/77, 1978/79, 1979/80, 1980/81, 1983/84, 2021/22) |
| Turkish Cup | 10 (1977, 1978, 1984, 1992, 1995, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2020, 2026) |
| Turkish Super Cup | 10 (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1995, 2010, 2020, 2022) |
| UEFA Champions League | Group stage in 2011/12, including a 1-0 win at Inter |
Trabzonspor's biggest fixtures are defined by their rivalries with the Istanbul giants, a local derby along the Black Sea coast and a growing list of European opponents.
No fixture matters more in Trabzon. The rivalry with Fenerbahçe is rooted in two title races: 1995/96, when Fenerbahçe pipped Trabzonspor to the title, and 2010/11, when the clubs finished level on 82 points and Fenerbahçe took the title on goal difference before the match-fixing scandal broke. The sale of golden-era midfielder Ali Kemal Denizci to Fenerbahçe had already sparked mass protests among supporters. For Fenerbahçe tickets at Papara Park, expect the highest face values of the season, and be aware that away allocations for this fixture can be withheld by the local authorities.
Galatasaray, the 2025/26 Süper Lig champions, beat Trabzonspor 3-0 in the 2025 Turkish Cup final, a year before Trabzonspor lifted the cup themselves. Visits from Galatasaray draw some of the highest club prices of the year at Papara Park, while the trip to RAMS Park is one of the most popular away days for Trabzonspor supporters. Supporters planning that journey can find Galatasaray tickets for their other fixtures too.
Beşiktaş beat Trabzonspor in the 2024 Turkish Cup final, adding another layer to a fixture that already carried weight. Şenol Güneş, the club's most celebrated figure, also won two league titles as Beşiktaş head coach in 2016 and 2017, which gives the meeting a personal edge for many in Trabzon. Beşiktaş tickets for the home fixture sit in the same high price bracket as the other Istanbul clubs.
The Eastern Black Sea derby pits Trabzonspor against their neighbours from Rize, the next province along the coast. The two are neighbouring cities on the coast road, so the fixture brings large numbers of travelling supporters and a sharp local edge. For the return trip, Rizespor tickets are often among the most practical away days of the season for supporters based in Trabzon.
Trabzonspor entered the 2026/27 Europa League at the play-off round, and after a 5-0 aggregate defeat to Ferencváros they moved into the Conference League league phase. The draw gave them three home matches at Papara Park, against SC Freiburg, Hearts and Jablonec, and three away trips, to Crvena Zvezda, KuPS and CSKA Sofia.
Each of those opponents brings something different. Freiburg, a regular in European competition in recent seasons, are the highest-profile visitors, and SC Freiburg tickets are popular with German supporters who follow the club abroad. Hearts bring Scottish supporters to the Black Sea, and Hearts tickets cover the Edinburgh club's other fixtures for fans planning further trips. Away from home, the trip to Belgrade to face Crvena Zvezda at the Rajko Mitić Stadium is the most intimidating of the league phase, and supporters planning it can find Crvena Zvezda tickets for the Serbian club's matches. The longest journey is to Kuopio in central Finland, and KuPS tickets cover the Finnish club's home matches for supporters making that trip.

Salah is the headline name. He joined on a free transfer in August 2026 after nine years at Liverpool, where he scored 257 goals in 442 appearances and won the Premier League twice and the Champions League, and told supporters at his unveiling that he had come to win something with the club. He is joined in attack by Paul Onuachu, the joint top scorer in the Süper Lig in 2025/26, and Turkish forward Aral Şimşir. Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho and Ukraine international Ruslan Malinovskyi add experience in midfield, while André Onana, on loan from Manchester United, and Montenegro international Stefan Savić bring top-level experience to the defence. Turkish internationals Ozan Tufan and Samet Akaydin give the side a domestic spine.
