Fenerbahçe supporters delivered one of the most eye-catching displays of the opening UEFA Champions League week on 10 September 2026, unveiling a giant Frankenstein-themed choreography before the home match against Roma in Kadıköy.
The display appeared as the players entered the pitch, with yellow-and-navy cards surrounding a huge Frankenstein figure holding the Fenerbahçe crest. The message beneath the choreography presented Fenerbahçe’s return to Europe’s biggest club competition as a warning to the continent.
A Champions League return after 18 years
The night carried extra significance for the Istanbul club. Fenerbahçe were playing in the UEFA Champions League proper for the first time since the 2008–09 season. UEFA lists the Roma fixture as Fenerbahçe’s first league-phase match of the 2026–27 campaign, with the game finishing 1–1.
The choreography quickly attracted international attention. UEFA Champions League’s official X account shared the tifo directly, while Turkish and international media highlighted the scale and visual impact of the display.
Supporter culture note
Global Fan Voice is treating this as a Fenerbahçe supporters choreography rather than assigning it to a specific named supporter group. Although major Fenerbahçe groups such as GFB and 1907 ÜNİFEB are documented supporter organisations, we have not found a reliable primary source confirming that one particular group alone created this tifo. GFV will not make that attribution without evidence.
