Karşıyaka, which is preparing to spend its 9th year in the 3rd League, will meet its fans at home for the first time in the Izmir derby in the new season. While the fixtures in the league will be held at the Turkish Football Federation's Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facilities in Riva, Karşıyaka, which is in the 2nd Group where Aegean teams are dominant, will play away against Etimesgut Spor in Ankara in the first week of the new season, which will start on 5-6 September.
Karşıyaka will meet its fans in the second week, on September 12-13, in the first home game of the season, when it will host its arch-rival Altay in the Izmir derby. Green-red fans will watch their team in the home derby for the first time. Karşıyaka, which has made ambitious transfers by preserving the star names of its current squad for the championship target, will try to gift its fans a derby victory in its first home match against Altay, who has been banned from transfer for 5 years and whose players have left one by one.
Having completed the domestic transfer without any losses, Karşıyaka also signed Mahmut Şat from Somaspor in the international transfer, after former winger Yılmaz Ceylan, who left Şanlıurfaspor, and left-back Gökdeniz Tandoğan, from Kastamonuspor. 24-year-old Mahmut, who, like Yılmaz, is a student of coach Burhanettin Basatemür from Somaspor, was deprived of rights for 9 months in the betting investigation after he played in 11 matches last season. Yılmaz and Mahmut, who ended the season early, completed their disqualification sentences. Kaf-Kaf, who gave up Batuhan Kör on his list due to his high cost, continues negotiations with Alanyaspor forward Veysel Karani Ünal. Veysel Karani is expected to reduce his salary. Left-back Cumali Turhan, whom Karşıyaka recruited from amateurs at half-time last season, left the team and signed for Ayvalıkgücü.
Karşıyaka will hold its first training of the new season tomorrow. Kaf-Kaf, which has largely preserved last season's frame and made 3 reinforcements, will take to the field at 18.30 at Çiğli Selçuk Yaşar Facilities under the management of coach Burhanettin Basatemür. The green-red team will work in their facilities in Izmir until August 5 and will play 3 friendly matches in this period. Karşıyaka will take 2 days off after the first stage and camp at Fenerbahçe's Düzce Topuk Plateau Facilities between 8-20 August. The Izmir team, which brought the camp for free in accordance with the agreement regarding the transfer of Adem Yesilyurt, will also play 3 special matches in Topuk Plateau.
