Opponents
Founded in 1963 in the city of Bursa, Bursaspor spent most of their history in the top division and were crowned Turkish champions (2010). The club also reached the Turkish Cup final six times won the trophy (1986). However, following a financial and administrative crisis, Bursaspor were first relegated from the Süper Lig in 2019 before eventually dropping to the TFF 3. Lig. It was there that the Crocodiles began their climb back two years ago, and by the end of the 2025/26 season they had earned promotion back to the Turkish 1.Lig.
Bursaspor are coached by 46-year-old Turkish manager Mustafa Er, a former club academy graduate as a player who progressed through every level of the coaching structure – from youth team coach to assistant manager and then head coach of the senior team. He is now in his third spell in charge, having returned to lead the Green-and-Whites in January 2026.
Bursaspor's squad is made up predominantly of Turkish players, although the club strengthened its ranks with several foreign signings this summer. The most notable arrival is 29-year-old Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who previously played for Manchester City, Leicester City, Sevilla and Celtic before joining as a free agent. The team's leading contributors last season were Ertuğrul Furat (15 goals and 3 assists), Muhammet Demir (13 goals and 5 assists) and İlham Depe (12 goals and 10 assists). According to Transfermarkt, the club's most valuable player is another new signing, Brazilian midfielder Lincoln (estimated value – EUR 3.5 million).
The Bursaspor vs Shakhtar match will be played at Atatürk Spor Kompleksi Matlı Stadyumu. The modern stadium, built in 2016, has a capacity of around 43,000. The venue has been included in Türkiye's bid to host UEFA Euro 2032.
