The Europa League playoff phase will see Nottingham Forest travel over to Istanbul to take on Fenerbahce, and it is a big match for both clubs as they look to secure a spot in the round of 16.
Forest finished 13th in the standings, while the Turkish side ended 19th after eight games in the league phase. This will be the first meeting between these sides, and given what is at stake, it is expected to be a highly intense clash.
The trip to Istanbul is one that is a bucket list trip for many in the UK. What can the travelling Nottingham Forest fans expect from the Fenerbahce away section? Our guide below has the lowdown.
Where is the Fenerbahce away section?
Those lucky enough to secure tickets in the away end can look forward to watching the match from the left-hand side of the Kuzey Stand. This stand is behind one of the goals at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium and is typically shared between home and away supporters.
The away section wraps around the corner slightly but doesn't breach the Maraon Stand on the side of the pitch. The Fenerbahce away section spans two tiers with fans entering via blocks F, G and H if they are in the upper tier and N, O and P if they are in the lower tier.
What is the Fenerbahce away section like?
The view of the pitch from the away section is excellent as the stadium itself is very compact and steep, ensuring everyone has a good view of the pitch regardless of where they are sitting or standing.
Fenerbahce fans are known for being loud, passionate and at times, dangerous, so the away end can sometimes feel intimidating, particularly if you are situated towards the right of the section near the segregation to the home part of the Kuzey Stand.
The club's most vocal supporters stand both in this section and in the Spor Toto Stand at the opposite end of the stadium. Given the magnitude of the match, Nottingham Forest fans can expect to sample a loud and ferocious atmosphere throughout.
