Beşiktaş to Host Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Batumi with Fans
Turkish football club Beşiktaş will host Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Batumi, Georgia, on November 26, 2026, for a Europa League match. The decision to move the game from Turkey to Georgia was announced by Beşiktaş President Serdal Adali, who also confirmed the match will be played in front of a crowd.
Adali stated that the venue change would not significantly impact the team, saying, "For us, it didn't create a particularly big difference. We will play our match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Batumi and with fans."
He also commented on UEFA's decision not to preemptively prevent draws between Israeli and Turkish teams. Adali suggested that an additional appeal was unnecessary, citing similar precedents set by UEFA. He quoted UEFA officials who reportedly expressed regret after the draw, noting, "It wasn't something that hadn't crossed our minds, unfortunately, it happened again. In these cases, our luck is not so good."
