Beşiktaş are expected to play their Turkish Cup game against Rizespor in Sarıyer according to Eurosport Turkey.

The Yusuf Ziya Öniş stadium director Turgut Akhan spoke to Eurosport explaining the situation.

“We are in talks with the Turkish Football Federation, we could not reach an agreement for Bolu,” Akhan said.

“Now our new proposal is to play the Yusuf Ziya Öniş stadium that belongs to Sarıyer. 

“The game starts at 13:30 (Turkish time) but it could be moved to a later time as the broadcaster wants the match to be played at a peak time.”

Beşiktaş are currently first in the Turkish Cup Group F after beating Sarıyer 4-0 in the first game.

The Black Eagles are without a stadium this season as the club is expanding the old İnonü stadium into a 41,903 seater arena.

Beşiktaş have played in Ankara and Konya for two of their home games this season and wanted to return to the Konya Büyükşehir Torku Arena against Galatasaray.
