UEFA has celebrated Galatasaray's 121st anniversary with a social media post highlighting the club's historic European successes. The post commemorated the Turkish club's UEFA Cup and Super Cup triumphs from the year 2000.
In a message published on October 1, 2026, UEFA stated: "Celebrating 121 years of @GalatasaraySK! 🏆 UEFA Cup and Super Cup winners in 2000, they made history as the first Turkish club to lift a major UEFA club trophy." These victories included the UEFA Cup final win over Arsenal on penalties and the Super Cup final golden-goal victory against Real Madrid, scored by Mário Jardel.
The reminder of this pioneering European achievement comes as Galatasaray currently sit second in the Süper Lig with 13 points, having won three of their last five matches. The team's next fixture is at home against eighth-placed Kasımpaşa on October 9.
