Rapid Faces Erdoğan's Club - Coach Sent to the Stands
In a high-stakes match, Rapid Vienna will face İstanbul Başakşehir, a club known for its ties to President Erdoğan. Coach Robert Klauß, who is banned from the sidelines, will have to watch from the stands. Fans are hopeful but also concerned that the match might turn into a political rally. 'We just want to see some football, not a campaign speech,' said one fan, clutching a green-and-white scarf.
