Trabzonspor will play a friendly match tomorrow during the Süper Lig break for international fixtures. The game against Irish side Drogheda United will take place at Papara Park on Thursday, 1 October 2026, kicking off at 19:00 local time.

The two clubs have not met for 13 years. This special preparatory match offers Trabzonspor, currently 7th in the league with 10 points, a chance to maintain match sharpness. The team's last outing was a 4-0 victory over Galatasaray on 19 September, where Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick. Salah is the team's top scorer this season with 7 goals in 6 appearances.

Drogheda United completed their preparations at the Şenol Güneş Sports Complex. Technical director Kevin Doherty said, "In the training session, the players did passing and tactical work after warming up." There is a historical friendship between the clubs, as Drogheda represents a town that received aid from the Ottoman Empire during the Great Famine of 1847.
