EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene yet haunting view of the Fenerbahce stadium in Istanbul. The image, taken by OZAN KOSE from Agence France-Presse (AFP), showcases the empty sports field with a low angle perspective that emphasizes the grandeur and magnitude of this renowned football arena. The photograph holds significant historical significance as it was taken prior to the rescheduled Turkish Cup semi-second leg final match between Fenerbahce and Besiktas on May 3,2018. This game was originally scheduled for April 19 but had to be abandoned in the 57th minute due to an unfortunate incident. Besiktas coach Senol Gunes was struck by an object thrown from the stands, leading to chaos and ultimately forcing the match's cancellation. In this still moment captured by OZAN KOSE, we are reminded of both the beauty and unpredictability of football. The empty seats symbolize not only a missed opportunity for fans but also serve as a poignant reminder of how one act can disrupt even the most anticipated sporting events. Through this photograph, we witness more than just an illustration of a stadium; we glimpse into a story that transcends sport itself. It is a testament to resilience, unity, and our shared love for football despite its occasional dark moments.
