In actual fact, from Galatasaray's perpective, the drama started for them before the start of the league. With the participation in the European Champions League, for the first time in its history, in July, Galatasaray got eliminated by Ostersund, a Swedish team. In the season before, winning the Swedish Cup, it made history with the biggest success and getting themselves a ticket in the European League, Ostersund FC, eliminated Galatasaray in the UEFA Europe Leagues in the pre-sele ction stage, in which they then continued to write history with their success.

Galatasaray, the team with over 100 years of glory which we feel so proud of, got eliminated by the red and black colored Ostersund, which was established in 1996 with the formation of 3 clubs from its city and started its journey in 1997 in the third league of the Swedish football league.
