Fenerbahçe host newly promoted Kocaelispor at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul on Saturday for their opening home fixture of the Turkish Super Ligseason.
It’s a highly anticipated clash, as Fenerbahçe look to rebound after back-to-back goalless draws, while Kocaelispor aim to secure their first top-flight points since promotion, having lost their opening two matches. The teams haven’t met competitively since Kocaelispor’s last stint in the Süper Lig in 2008-09, adding extra intrigue to this new chapter.

Team news & squads
Fenerbahce team news
Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho will be without suspended defender Jayden Oosterwolde, who saw red in their opening match. The squad is also missing key depth, with Mert Hakan Yandaş, Cenk Tosun, and Rodrigo Becão out injured until next month.
Their Champions League exploits have added some wear and tear: in the recent 0-0 home draw with Benfica, Fenerbahçe dominated possession and created chances but lacked finishing.
Supporters will be demanding attacking improvements, and Mourinho is expected to rotate the squad.
Kocaelispor team news
Kocaelispor’s return to the top flight has started slowly, with two narrow 1-0 defeats—first to Trabzonspor, then at home to Samsunspor. They will be without midfielder Samet Yalcin, suspended after a red card last week, and summer loan signing Mateusz Wieteska, who suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury and is out until 2026. Rigoberto Rivas is also a doubt.
