Ismail Köybaşı's Farewell Jubilee Match Set for August 8 in İzmir

Two historic Turkish clubs, Göztepe and Trabzonspor, will face each other in a joint jubilee match honoring former national‑team defender Ismail Köybaşı. The game is scheduled for 20:00 on 8 August 2026 at the Gürsel Aksel Stadium in İzmir. Tickets are being sold exclusively through the Passo platform, with supporters of both clubs sharing the same tribunes and no separate guest‑section tickets.

Köybaşı, 37, retired after a career that included captaincy at Göztepe, a league title with Trabzonspor in 2022, and spells at Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. The match also serves as Göztepe’s final pre‑season friendly, featuring several recent signings and the club’s new season kits.
