To be played on Thursday 19th February 2026.
At the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Constantinople.
Kick off is at 17:45.
Vitor's first game in charge back at his former club.
Going to be very interesting to see Vitor's first team sheet and formation.
A draw would be great and then get them to the world famous City Ground to finish the job.
COYR! We can do this.

Equally excited and nervous about this one.
Not looking forward to spending so many hours in the ground with no booze and no battery packs allowed.
Will be interesting to see if he goes full strength

What’s Pereira’s relationship like with their fans? It’s quite an interesting game for him on a personal level and I’m sure he’ll be fired up for it. From reading about him, he seems a passionate guy so let’s hope he can channel that into the players and get a result

''Pereira’s new employers Fenerbahce have intriguingly been linked with an array of Portuguese managers in recent weeks, including Nuno Espírito Santo, Paulo Fonseca, Marco Silva and Abel Ferreira before finally getting their new boss''.
Vítor Pereira is back in football after taking the reigns at Turkish giants Fenerbahçe for the second time on a contract running until 2023.
I always felt passion and ambition at Fenerbahçe,” said the 53-year-old when he was presented to the media on Friday afternoon. “However, more time was needed to establish a stable structure and achieve the targeted success.
Unfortunately, I did not have as much time as I wanted. Fenerbahçe was an unfinished love for me. I have won trophies in almost every club I have been to in my career. But I could not win a trophy in Fenerbahçe. Now is the time to crown this unfinished story with championship trophies. Then this unfinished story will have a happy ending.
I feel that this plan is part of a structure that will lead us to success. That is why I am so excited. However, another issue that doubles my excitement will be to appear in front of the fans of the great Fenerbahçe community. I miss the enthusiasm of our fans in the stadium too.
I hope that next season we will reach the long-awaited championship by standing shoulder to shoulder.
Fenerbahçe have not won the Turkish Super Lig title for seven years. However, with the club’s media pointing out that Pereira’s points average during his season in charge is the highest in the last half decade, optimism is growing that the Portuguese can add to his impressive record for winning trophies in various countries''.

Can see this as a 3-0 thrashing followed by a £140 spent watching a dead rubber of a game. Toxic.
Hope Im wrong of course

YAY! A 19:45 kick-off. A reasonable hour.
