Fethiye Mayor Alim Karaca, a dedicated Fenerbahçe supporter and a congress member of the club, drew widespread praise after publicly celebrating Galatasaray’s Super League championship—while wearing a Galatasaray scarf.
Mayor Karaca joined thousands of fans in Beşkaza Square, Fethiye’s largest gathering space, to mark Galatasaray’s 25th league title and third consecutive championship. The red-and-yellow club secured the title after defeating Bellona Kayserispor 3-0 in the 36th week of the Trendyol Super League, clinching the trophy with two matches still to play.
Despite his strong ties to Fenerbahçe, Karaca’s decision to wear the colours of a rival team during the celebrations was seen as a powerful gesture of sportsmanship and unity. His act was warmly received by fans across the sporting community and was widely regarded as a reminder of the values of respect, friendship and fair play.
At a time when tensions between rival clubs can run high, Mayor Karaca’s inclusive approach was hailed as a model for football supporters and public figures alike.
