ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish media reports say the Turkish Super Cup final between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in Riyadh has been canceled due to a dispute with Saudi Arabian authorities over players' jerseys. HaberTurk television and other media have reported that organizers prevented the players from wearing T-shirts pictured with modern Turkey's founder in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. The players left Riyadh's Al-Awwal Park Stadium and are returning home. A joint statement by the Turkish Football Federation and the Istanbul clubs say the final "was postponed to a later date" and cited "organizational disruptions." Spain and Italy are set to stage their Super Cups in Saudi Arabia in January.
