Gemlik Sümerbey FK to Host Karşıyaka in 3rd League 2nd Group Gemlik Sümerbey FK, the undefeated leader of the 3rd League 2nd Group, will host Karşıyaka tomorrow. The match is scheduled for 15:30 at İzmir Atatürk Stadium, as maintenance work continues on Alsancak Mustafa Denizli Stadium. Karşıyaka currently sits in second place with 22 points, while Gemlik leads the table with 18 points. Karşıyaka’s head coach is Zafer Uysal, who has guided the team to five wins and one draw in their last six matches. Gemlik’s coaching staff has recently changed; Mesut Çaytemel was appointed after the club’s previous manager, İsmail Güldüren, was replaced following three draws in the last four games. Only closed seating will be available for spectators at Atatürk Stadium. Fans had requested evening attendance, but the İzmir Provincial Sports Security Council’s decision at the start of the season has prevented this. Karşıyaka last played at Atatürk Stadium on 18 October 2025 against Nazilli Spor. The club is eager to continue its title challenge after a 390‑day absence from the venue. In the last six matches, Karşıyaka has accumulated 16 points, with a single penalty goal scored by Kaf‑Kaf. In a separate event, Karşıyaka commemorated the 88th anniversary of the death of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on 10 November. Club president Yiğit Tusder, along with management and players, attended a ceremony held at the Karşıyaka Kaymakamlığı building at 9:05 p.m. to honor the founder of the Republic.
