5.00brilliantly arranged by OG, he took care of the confusing arrangements and communicated thoroughly before our trip. he took us where fans gather and gave amazing insight into the club, making sure we could drop our bags safely and enter the ground easily. Without doubt we would have struggled without him Thank you OG, you made amazing memories for us. I highly recommend him.
A must for a Fenerbahçe game in Istanbul

5.00This experience is definitely a must for anyone looking to take in a Fenerbahce game. OG is brilliant guide with pre-match organisation of the tickets easy, great information and history about Fenerbahce on the day before taking us down to the park pre-game for beers and flares before a smooth entrance into the stadium. No goals on the night but the atmosphere inside the stadium was special – absolutely loved it! Thanks to OG again.
Beautiful experience in Istanbul!

5.00Arif is a passionate fan who has guided us well. He knows exactly where to find the right spots, likes to tell you about his club and also has answers to all questions. Nice experience among the ultras. In another way you just don't get cards, so this is highly recommended!
Great experience at Besiktas

5.00The Besiktas Matchday Experience was the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. Arif is an incredible host. He provided me with full local experience I was looking for. From start to finish you are among the Besiktas fans. He treated our group with delicious street food before and after the match. I felt he made everyone in our demographicly diverse group feel welcome. A huge bonus to booking this experience is, the guide takes care of the inconvenience of getting your passolig card so you can enter the stadium!
Amazing Galatasaray Honeymoon Experience!

5.00I went with my wife to Galatasaray v Alanyaspor on October 6 with Ogulcan during our honeymoon. An amazing experience with Ogulcan, not only for the pre-match experience, but also because getting the ticket and getting into the ground is quite confusing if you don't speak Turkish. Communication was top notch with Homefans and then Ogulcan - I have to say it really made my dream come true, but also saved me from all the hassle of ticket purchase and getting to the ground. On top of that, we were with an experienced local fan who told us lots of anecdotes and stories about the club, football and Turkiye. The best experience ever!
Fenerbahce and Besiktas Experiences

5.00I’ve been on 2 Homefans experiences in Istanbul, one time to watch Besiktas, and the other to watch Fenerbahce. Both times the experiences were absolutely incredible! The knowledge of the Homefans hosts mean you learn so much about the teams history, and they take you to spots only local fans know. The atmospheres at both teams were just immense. There’s something about Turkish football and fans, some of the most passionate I’ve ever experienced. Now the leagues getting even better with the likes of Oshimen, Mourinho and Solskjaer managing, I’ll be over to Istanbul with Homefans again this season. Amazing experience and one of the worlds great cities!
Great experience with OG in Istanbul

5.00My sister and I recently went to see the Fenerbahce – Basaksehir match with OG. I am a huge football fan, and I had always wanted to experience the passion of Turkish football fans; my sister had never been to a football match before and only learned of Fenerbahce’s existence a few hours before the match. I think we owe it to OG’s knowledge and skill as a guide that we both had a phenomenal experience! Before the match, OG told us all about his personal multigenerational relationship with the club, a bit about the club’s history and rivalries, and told us what to expect at the match. We had a fantastic time at the match itself, reveling in the vibrant atmosphere. I’ll certainly be going to a game again when I am back in Istanbul!
