Turkish football fans received bad news.

The Istanbul derby between "Galatasaray" and "Fenerbahce" teams, which was scheduled for Sunday, was canceled due to increased threats of terrorist attacks.

The decision was made just one day after a suicide bombing in the streets of Turkey's largest city.

In the league, "Galatasaray" is in fifth place and has already lost the chance to compete for the top spot. "Fenerbahce" is in second place, trailing only four points behind the "Besiktas" team.
