      "fr" => "Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has used football as a political tool, both domestically and internationally, throughout his political career. As part of a greater rapprochement between Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the 2023 Turkish Super Cup, played between the 2022/2023 season’s league champions (Galatasaray) and Turkish cup winners (Fenerbahce), was due to be played in Riyadh on 29 December 2023. However, a clash between the clubs and the hosts, shortly before the match was due to be played, along the fault line of Turkish secularism and religion, led to the clubs refusing to play the match and instead returning to Turkey. This event demonstrates some of the challenges Erdogan faces reconciling secular values held by many in Turkey with his own vision of a “New” Turkey."
