Greenwood set for position change as Fenerbahçe plot Roma surprise

Roma will display the World Food Programme logo on their shirts for tomorrow's Champions League Phase League match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul, replacing their regular Eurobet.live sponsor due to restrictions in Turkey. The initiative supports Nepal, which has been devastated by recent floods and landslides that have affected around 43,000 people requiring immediate humanitarian assistance. The shirt will carry the message "Together for Nepal". The club's solidarity campaign extends beyond the final whistle. The match-worn shirts will be auctioned, with proceeds directed to the World Food Programme's relief efforts in Nepal. Roma supporters can also contribute through ShareTheMeal, the WFP's platform for public donation. The gesture marks Roma's Champions League campaign with a humanitarian focus as the continent's displaced communities face ongoing crisis.

Roma have released comprehensive guidance for supporters travelling to Istanbul for the Champions League match against Fenerbahce, with strict protocols governing how fans can reach the stadium. All Roma supporters are prohibited from reaching the ground independently. Instead, they must assemble at a designated Fan Meeting Point at Sultanahmet Square in central Istanbul, with gathering scheduled for 14:45 local time. Shuttle buses organised by the club will depart from 15:45 onwards, with the journey to Sukru Saracoglu Spor Komplesi in Kadıköy taking approximately 45 minutes. The visiting supporters' section is located in the north-east area of the stadium, sector G, accessible via gates 36 and 35, with entry opening at 16:45 — three hours before kickoff. Supporters holding Cat1 tickets will be allocated the FENERIUM ALT G BLOK sector, accessible through gates 3, 4 and 5. No ticket is valid for entry to a sector other than the one printed on it. Fenerbahce has advised Roma supporters not to wear club colours or scarves outside the designated away section. Bags larger than an A4 sheet of paper are prohibited inside the stadium. Roma have also issued a security reminder that all supporters must pass through local authority and stadium personnel checks upon arrival. Tickets for the away trip were sent by email on Tuesday 8 September in PDF format and can be displayed directly on mobile devices at turnstiles. Supporters who have not received their ticket or encounter problems viewing it should contact Roma's ticket office on 06/89386000, available between 09:00 and 18:30.

Roma return to Champions League football for the first time in a year on 10 September, when they face Fenerbahce in the opening league-phase match at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium in Istanbul's Kadıköy district, with kickoff at 18:45. Head coach Gasperini's side will be supported by thousands of Roma fans, and the club has published detailed operational instructions to manage their travel and stadium access. Tickets arrived by email on Tuesday afternoon. Roma have organised mandatory shuttle transport from a Fan Meeting Point at Piazza Sultanahmet, with the first shuttle departing at 15:45 from the 14:45 assembly time. Individual travel to the stadium is prohibited. The journey will take approximately 45 minutes, after which local authorities and security will conduct checks. Away supporters will occupy the north-east section, sector G, accessed via gates 35 and 36, from 16:45—three hours before kickoff. Roma supporters holding Cat1 tickets will be seated in the Fenerium Alt G Blok section, with access via gates 3, 4 and 5.
